Pork Pies
These little beauties always appear on my Tesco order-my husband enjoys eating them as a light snack. Quartered they make finger food which are easy to nibble. The hot water crust remains nice and moist but I would have liked some jelly. When young I attempted to make hot water crust pastry using an upside down warm jamjar as a mould and filling with chopped shoulder pork and it was tasty. So much easier to purchase them in Tesco
Serious quality drop
These used to be great but now are tasteless having no seasoning. Often soggy pastry too.
Great Pies BUT as always short use by date
I'm confused in how many stars to give as for the actual Pork Pies they are great and I'd give 5 stars BUT as normal with my Tesco's delivery only 4 days left before use by date that includes delivery day. I'm starting to get a complex as I'm starting to think the home delivery pickers in Pontypridd don't like me as it happens 75% of the time between short dates ordamaged boxes, so I've come to the conclusion it's about time I start shopping else where and give another retailer my average £60/£70 everyweek they may treat customers better, As its waste of time contacting customer services as time it takes to get through then fair enough they'll give you refund BUT that's not the point as you then got to either go without or get them elsewhere, if you've got to do second option then you may as well get all your shopping elsewhere. So I just warn home delivery customers again watch the dates
Not the same!
What on earth has happened to these? I used to order them regularly because they were a good size and weight, and the filling moist, with a substantial amount of succulent pastry. These are now ' bog standard' mini pork pies, tiny, dry, and tasteless! Shame on you!
Bad batch or bad recipe change?
I've been buying these for the past few months as my guilty indulgence, far better tasting to equivalent offerings. However today after my weekly shop I ate the latest. What a disappointment hardly any filling! I hope this is a bad batch and not a 'new recipe' to reduce costs. Next week will tell...
very nice and so cheap real bargain.
