Pie before you can buy! Mr Kipling World Exclusive
Pie Review
of Mr Kipling Lattice Apple Pies
As for the
taste itself, you won’t probably find it a surprise to hear that the apple
lattice pie was very similar in taste to the Mr Kipling Apple Pie reviewed before. However the lattice lid was a bit lighter in taste than the full short
crust topping. The apple was not at all chewy and very flavoursome,
complementing the short crust pastry well. While it was disappointing to see Mr
Kipling pies turn away from the full pastry encasement of their filling – something
we at www.pierate.co.uk are strong advocates
of – it was still a very nice pie and the slight lack of top crust pastry did
little to put me off buying this pie again (not that I had to buy it this
time!)

It comes as
a great privilege to be able to review a pie that has not even hit the shops
yet! So while Mr Kipling stockists are busy awaiting their deliveries of Lattice
Apple pies, Pierateer RAS was busy chomping away at the Lattice Apple pie that
had arrived during the post earlier that day!
Now it has
to be said that the condition of some of the pies were worst for ware following
the postal delivery (even with the “Fragile” and “handle with care” notices on
the packaging!) However from the pie in the photo you can see the lattice
structure and the apple filling inside.

Co-operative attack on the Chicken, Bacon and Leek Lattice Pie
Chicken,
Bacon and Leek Lattice Pie Review by Co-op
The first
thoughts were that this pie wasn’t very deep and content therefore could have
been better. Sure, the pie was filled to the top (though that’s not
particularly hard in such a shallow pie) and the lattice pastry on top looked pretty
and was nicely crisp, however there wasn’t much filling to go with it. This did
leave the pie tasting a bit dry, particularly the base pastry, as there wasn’t
very much sauce to compliment it. The dry pastry was highlighted when some of
the base pastry rather crumbled as I took the pie out of the tin foil it was
cooked in, diminishing the condition score, but the pastry was generally crisp
and nice.
However the
filling that was there was very good. The chicken and bacon were very nice and
tender, spread out throughout the pie. The meat wasn’t chewy at all and was
flavoursome. I’d have liked a bit more substance to the pie, with more meat and
sauce in the pie to boost the taste. However the pie filling was very nice and
the creamy & light sauce complemented the meat well.

With a
discount on the Chicken, Bacon and Leek lattice pie in Co-op, it was too good
an offer to miss! So my friends James and Claire picked the pie up for me and a
review was in order! It didn’t take long for me to find an excuse to crack out
the pie and heat it in the oven. So with a few friends to share pie with –
going into “co-operative mode” with Jeremy and Stu – the pie was served up and
ready to rate.

The pie at
normal price is £3 for a family sized pie, which is quite reasonable. I’d
happily eat this pie again, though would prefer more filling to bulk the capacity
of the pie up!
