“steak pie”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 06/06/2013

we were really looking forward to this as our main meal of the day - what a disappointment - hardly any meat in it at all - thought hang on a minute - the picture on the box shows loads of chunky steak pieces - between the two of us we found about 6 pieces of meat - and gave a cheer each time - would never buy another one - waste of money - and if you cannot fill it with chunks of steak - don't advertise it as such - I would suggest that you take this product of the market until you can get it right very misleading very annoyed waste of money

“I was intrigued by the McDougalls claim "better than...”

★★☆☆☆

I was intrigued by the McDougalls claim "better than Birds Eye" so I tried their 4 Individual Chicken Pies.
Whilst I have no intention of claiming their offered refund, I think their claim is so terribly wrong. I must say though that I don't like 95% of todays mass produced products.
To my mind, the best part of McDougalls pies is the pastry. It is the shortest pastry that I have ever come across in a mass produced pie, and most enjoyable. Whilst I have not weighed the amounts of meat in either pie (Birds Eye or any other) - I think the pie does lack meat content,,, at least for a 'meat pie'.
What will put me off of buying this product again is both the smell & the overpowering taste of Peas and vegetable matter. As soon as the pie is opened, I get the aroma,,,, then when I eat it, the taste of peas etc. This also pervades the sauce/gravy, which in my mind, is far too strong for Chicken flavoured meat. This sauce might be acceptable in a beef & veg' pie for instance, but not a mild, chicken flavoured pie. The taste of so much veg' would be acceptable in a meat & veg pie. I do realise that the picture on the pack does show peas & carrot, but it also shows far bigger pieces of meat than is actual, but it is still called a Chicken Pie.

To my mind, most mass produced pies, sausage rolls, flans etc are let down by their pastry -(even local - mass produced Pasties - here in Cornwall). McDougalls have this part beaten hands down - the pastry is great. To turn this mediocre pie into a Winner, would be - in my opinion - a bit more meat & a bit less vegetable & vegetable flavour. I will add here that although I have never used it in my professional cooking, I have no objection to a bit of monosodium glutamate and do sometimes use a bit in my private cooking.
All in all, I find this product no better - or no worse - than 99% of similar items on the market today.

“Hello, the pastry is lovely, on the puff pastry steak...”

Hello, the pastry is lovely, on the puff pastry steak pies, and chicken, but tonight we had the McDougalls steak pie, and the meat was terrible, mostly fat or gristle. We will only buy the chicken ones in future
