i cant stand pickle, once made the mistake a few years ago as a youth of picking up a nice looking ham finger sandwich at cricket tea and biting into it to discover it had pickle in it i spat it out on the plate and gagged, much to the amusement of my colleagues. never risked a sandwich at cricket tea again!

M&S do pickle ones too, also gala pie...no thanks!


the cheese ones are amazing though, M&S also do chorizo one and bbq seasoned one amongst other variants. (these are the mini ones) the chorizo is meh the bbq ones i havent tried yet. I think in the past bacon ones and apple have been ok.

but then i eat mine warm...that way botulism lies but 40 seconds in microwave makes them so much nicer...sacrilege maybe but i don't really like them cold. The reason i do this is a i never used to like them until i was in melton mowbray once and went into some famous pie shop (dickinson and morris i think) and they were just out the oven so i had one there and it made me realize how nice warm they were.

also i only eat them from waitrose or M&S...i just dont trust the quality of the meat in others , although its all probably from the same place, and ive had chewy bits in M&S/Waitrose too. Even the D&M ones you can buy in some supermarkets ive found dubious (despite my previous devouring of them in there shop)

BBQ one from M&S nothing special too much pastry.

Realised last night you are meant to heat the cheese topped ones up anyway. 1m in microwave
