Linda McCartney Deep Country Pies

Paul McCartney has not had a whole lot of luck when it comes to marriage. His first wife Linda was tragically taken from him after a long illness and then he marries a younger trophy wife who seems to have devoted her life to good causes only to find out that in fact he has married a one legged Geordie hooker with a vile temper and a vindictive nature. Add to that the fact that four years of marriage ends up costing him £25 million and £35k a year and you could say that luck has not been with him. Most people highlight how much better Linda, his first wife was compared with Heather, his recently divorced second wife. In fact some suggest that he never got over ...  Read the complete review

I first came across the Linda McCartney vegetarian food range about twelve years ago, when I was an impoverished student. Of course, in those days, ready meals were a bit out of my price range, which meant I usually got them when visiting the hotel of Mummy and Daddy. Now I'm a proper grown up, I still only have them occasionally, but that's more because prepackaged food is far too bad for your health to have every day. For those of you not familiar with the brand, the Linda McCartney range was set up in 1991 by Linda McCartney, the late wife of Paul McCartney. All the foods in the range are suitable for vegetarians and some, like this product, are also ...  Read the complete review

I acquired these the other day after my mum bought them for herself and my dad and neither of them were very keen on them! I haven't tried them before and 'waste not, want not' decided to give them a try. There are 4 of these pies in a box (2 for me as my mum and dad had eaten 1 each) A box costs around £1.99 at Sainsburys which isn't bad value as they're big pies and one with some mash and peas would make a filling meal. "Country Pies...Soya mince in rich onion gravy within a light flaky pastry pie" I have tried Linda McCartney Soya mince before and enjoy it so was hopeful these pies would be good. The box ...  Read the complete review

I'm not generally a big fan of pies and pastry products in general. I'm vegetarian and I find that the filling in vegetarian pies can be a bit sparse and not very rich and saucy which leaves the pasty tasting too dry. I can remember having Linda McCartney pies many years ago and being pleasantly surprised by the filling so, when I saw them on offer in Tesco a few months ago, I stocked up on a couple of boxes. Even better, was the notice on the packet that the pies had a 'new improved recipe' so I was hoping they would taste even better than I remembered. The pies come in packs of four, weighing in at 664g. They are frozen and available in the freezer section ...  Read the complete review

Some years ago I worked in the School Kitchens where soya mince was then an everyday part of cooking. It was used to bulk out the fresh mince to make it go further. Linda McCartney products are appetising and I only recognised this myself when I bought them for one of my daughters. My first ever venture into the vegetarian food world was a Linda McCartney sausage, we had hot dogs for tea and tasty was the operative word, it was hard to believe that you weren't eating an ordinary meaty sausage. I knew that I had enjoyed soya mince so I was fairly sure that Linda McCartney Deep Country pie would go down well. No good buying one for ...  Read the complete review
