[Review] Morrisons Roasted Vegetable Pie

Tried the roasted vegetable pie from Morrisons and it was not how I expected it to be.

I was expecting vegetables in gravy but the filling was more like ratatouille which doesn't taste good with pastry.

I think vegetables with tomatoes taste better with pasta not pastry.

[Review] Tasty Chicken & Potato Pie - Annabel Karmel

As well as adult meals, I review children and baby meals as well.
The Tasty Chicken & Potato Pie by Annabel Karmel looked appealing so tried it.
However I was a bit disappointed because it was bland compared to other brands and the carrot still had a crunchy texture even though they were finely diced.

[Review] Charlie Bigham's Steak & Ale Pie

While I was at Waitrose, I discovered Charlie Bigham's Steak & Ale Pie because of the stylish box it was in.
It had a flip lid with an intro about their pies and the illustration was nice like a story book.
Anyway, decided to give them a go and got two because as a foodie, I didn't fancy sharing it.

The pastry was light and flakey when it was baked.

You could literally hear the pastry crack when I put my fork in it and the gravy simply flowed out and I didn't expect that which was a big surprise!

Listen to the video with sound on!!

As well as the top notch pastry, the filling was amazing especially the pieces of steak which are lean and tender.
The amount gravy inside was another wow factor!

Will definitely try their other pies soon.

[Review] Morrisons Freshly baked Chunky Steak Pies

After having a delicious Freshly baked Chicken & Gravy pie, decided to try the Chunky steak as well.

The steak inside the pie was good but the gravy let it down as it was bland.

[Review] Morrisons Freshly baked Chicken & Gravy Pie

I have always been hesitant in buying freshly the freshly baked pies at Morrisons because they when they get home, you have to reheat it again so the pastry might get over done.
Anyway, finally got the Chicken & Gravy pie and it was the amazing, the pastry was good and the chunks of chicken in gravy was delicious.
The fresh pies have Morrisons imprinted on the edge as well as what pie it is.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Minced Beef Shortcrust Pie

Got the M&S Marks and Spencers Minced Beef Shortcrust Pie which looked nice in the purple box.

I was a little bit disappointed with the minced beef filling because the beef had lot of elastic chewy bits which I was not expecting from Marks and Sparks.

Birdseye Shortcrust Chicken Pies are a classic pie eaten by most people which you would find in most freezers.

The pastry is crisp and crumbly filled with chunks of chicken in delicious gravy with peas.

McDonalds black and white coconut pie a la mode

I was excited because McDonalds launched this black and white coconut pie.
To my knowledge, there has not been a black and white coconut pie but this was served in China last August.
As well as the pie, there are the black and white burgers that are the same as last years.
For the shake shake fries seasoning there is the salt n pepper crabwhich was available a few years ago in oct, 2011.
According to my earlier review, it has a fragrant basil taste.

Anyway, I went to McD's to try the coconut pie.
It seems that different branches are offering different things, the one I went to only served the pie and icecream but according to instagram some branches just sell the pie only.

The coconut pie was quite nice with a coconut filling that was not too strong and pieces of coco de nata.

If I had a choice, I prefer it without the icecream so hopefully I can find another McDonalds that just has the pie or wait until the 4th when the pie is fully launched at all branches.
