...so bad, they're good!
Sorry - I didn't look. ...so bad, they're good!
I agree but never buy these since I find a small one is too small, and the large one too large.
The small ones are probably designed for racing drivers / pensioners who don't eat a lot.
Ah well. Nearly there on one of those counts.
I've never bought tinned pie. I've always bought the ones in the frozen/fridge section, that require 45min in the oven.
Duno why, but the impression i have with them is that they're on par with the likes of yucky food like Rustlers (ive never eaten rustlers, never intend to). Or am i wrong?

oh the pastry, so much better than frozen ... steak and ale for me .... you must try 
Isn't it? 
It's the pastry which sells these pies to me: lightly flaky with gooey underpinnings.
Of course I have to bash the lid into the gravy once puffed up, and cover it all with lots of pepper.
Other forms of pastry just don't 'do it' for me: far too dry / claggy.
MC, Please try and track down a Budgens that have the Newitts pies in stock.
These are hand made using quality meat and are the best pies I have ever tried.
There are also the only butcher I buy meat from, despite being about 22 miles from me.
