Overview
A vegetarian deep country pie from the Linda McCartney range.

Review
The ubiquitous Linda McCartney vegetarian range is not exactly a distinguished one. In fact I would say it is a range distinguishable by it uniformly and almost uniquely foul tasting products.
Linda McCartney sausages in particular are especially execrable and could be used as a form of torture. This would, no doubt be outlawed by the UN as too barbaric. They look and taste like floor sweepings coated in sick.
Vegetarians had to make do with this horrible stuff until Quorn rode to the rescue with veggie food that actually tastes good.
There is a peculiar notion that because food is vegetarian it must also taste like a dogs dinner. Thankfully Quorn, unlike Linda McCartney showed that this need not be the case.
I do feel slightly guilty saying this due to the obvious origin (Paul McCartneys deceased wife) of the range. Its not speaking ill of the dead, its speaking ill of rubbish food.
Happily though, this is a good pie. Against expectation I discoverd a fine tasting, appetising pie product.
The pastry is thick but with a pleasant crumbling texture. The filling is a gloriously gooey, oozing onion gravy with pieces of onion and some sort of soya protien.
They take half an hour to become golden brown but are scolding hot from the oven. Leave to cool for two, three minutes unless you want to burn your lips off.
I got mine in a pack of four which is a lot of pie I can tell you. These things are filling so you can't go wrong really.
But yeah, a hot, deliciously meaty pie thats both a tasty and satisfying eat. I would certainly recommend trying some.

Summary: Buy this pie says I.
