Le Pie d'Angloys

[cheese exterior] We must admit we're a bit puzzled by this one, not to mention indignant. It's got no bloody pastry, for a start. That's right, disbelieving pie-lovers - no pastry at all. It's not a great start for a pie, is it? Somewhat like Paris without the Eiffel Tower, Tunnock's Teacakes without the marshmallow or Tom Jones without his testicles - we can't help feeling the point has been missed somewhat.

Believing that maybe we had obtained a faulty example, we delved deeper, only to find that the filling left something to be desired too. There was no meat, no vegetables, no gravy and no sauce. Even the "Angloys" promised on the box could not be discerned within, leaving us feeling somewhat cheated.

So no pastry, and the filling appeared to consist only of a creamy substance of dairy origin. Frankly this pie is rubbish. It would be more appropriate as, for instance, a cheese, if you can believe that. Steer well clear.
