I guess it
should have got my ATTENTION! as soon as I read it. Maybe I’m being a bit
shallow venting my disappointment on the web. But I can’t help thinking these
were very standard and rather shallow Mince Pies. I guess you would have to say
they do exactly what they say on the packet, but it certainly means that they
don’t get anywhere close to the top 20 on pierate!
As it is, we
should probably apologise for the lack of Mince Pies reviewed this winter – in
fact, in Pierate history – so I guess a Mince Pie boot camp may be in order
next Christmas. But there’s no doubt of all the Mince Pies I’ve eaten over my
pie eating career, this has to be pretty much as standard as they come. The
short crust pastry was nice, however being so shallow, there wasn’t much
filling, and what came as even more of a surprise in such a shallow pie was
that they actually still had space to fill the pie with air! Not a compliment
at all.

That's right - just 15mm high... (shallow) |
While
nothing wrong with the taste, it did feel lacking in...well...pie really! But I’d
like to thank the Niclasens for hosting this pie tasting session (and the kids
seemed happy enough with the pies, to be fair). Still, I’d recommend sticking
to the luxury deep filled mince pies on offer next Christmas time.
