Vale of Mowbray Pork Pie

Bought from: Supermarket in Peckham

Made by: Vale of Mowbray

Pastry: Unpleasantly soggy all round with a hard, tasteless bottom. 1/5
Meat: Too soft; almost like paté. An unhealthy pink colour with horrible lumps of fat; unpleasant taste. 0/5
Jelly: A rubbery, almost inedible jelly: not something you'd want in your mouth. 0/5
Appearance and value: An unwell looking outside. Very cheap at £1; and it's not worth that! 1/5

Overall rating and summary: Unpleasant in every way. Perhaps more suitable for a dog than a human being; I didn't eat it all. Do not buy this pork pie.  2/20

Morrisons Melton Mowbray Pork Pie

Bought from: Supermarket in Camberwell

Made by: Morrisons

Pastry: Quite soft and almost powdery. Uninteresting; not much flavour; quite greasy. Could do with some spice. 2/5
Meat: No resistance except for almost occasional harder lumps. A cheap flavour; grey in colour: 1/5
Jelly: Adds slight moisture; could do with more jelly. 3/5
Appearance and value: Cheap in price at just 74p per pie. This is reflected in its taste. A greasy looking pie. 2/5

Overall rating and summary: A cheap pie with a cheap taste. Better than I expected from a supermarket's own pie; however, I wouldn't buy this again unless quite hungover. 8/20

Windsor Farm Shop Pork Pie

Bought from: Windsor Farm Shop

Made by: Windsor Farm Shop (on site)

Pastry: Quite thin all round; although it leaves more room for meet, it could do with slightly more pastry. Soft but a bit plain in taste; on the whole, pleasant but not very interesting. 3/5
Meat: Good quality with good texture; but not much resistance ; again, slightly plain in flavour. Could use some seasoning. 3/5
Jelly: Contains no visible jelly but is still moist. Some jelly would be an asset. 2/5
Appearance and value: A short pie; less square in height and width but with a nice top. £1.95 is fair value for money. 3/5

Overall rating and summary: A fair price for a small pie of reasonable quality but no great taste. I'd buy it if I were in the shop but I wouldn't go to the shop especially. 11/20
