Pork Farms Mini Pork Pie with Branston Pickle

Bought from: Supermarket in Peckham
Made by: Pork Farms and Branston

Pastry: Soft, almost soggy on the inside. Slightly overcooked on the outside. Tastes greasy. 1/5
Meat: Tastes very cheap. Mushy yet tough. The wrong combination. 2/5
Jelly: Hardly any jelly. None visible. 1/5
Appearance and value: Very cheap but not a great product. Nonetheless, fair value for money. Looks factory made. Not very attractive. 2/5

* This pie gets one extra point for some okay, but not great, pickle.

Overall rating and summary: A cheap pie that tastes cheap. The pickle was a nice touch but I wouldn't often buy these. 7/20
