has anyone tried a Mr Kipling apple and black currant pie lately , I don't buy them for myself but we do shopping for an aunt and she often asks for them , now when we havea cuppa at hers she brings out the ginger biscuits and one time we got one of these pies and I have to say they were one of the worst things ive ever eaten the pastry didn't even seem to been cooked enough , it was bland and just seemed to go to a claggy mush in the mouth and the thin layer of fruit was all bits in a thick sauce .

I have and they were vile left an awful after taste, they might label  them apple and blackcurrant but the flavour has nothing to do with any apple or blackcurrant I have ever tasted, and the pastry looked raw, don't usually buy manufactured cakes etc, and I remembered why

as an x chef wont go near the darned things prefer my own baking . .

Had an apple one last year at a works 'do' and it was so horrible I only took one bite and threw the rest away. Apple was not really an accurate description of the pallid gloopy filling either.

These should come with a warning about fitness for consumption by discerning consumers imho

I find all this company's cakey things are insanely, sickly sweet 
I'd sooner go without

speaking as some one who loves cake I would rather go with out myself I don't know how they get away with it but anty doris likes them and shes paying , when given the choice at hers she gets  ringtons ginger biscuits and they are good , hard but good . I wonder if its why sainsburys sell them for £1 . 00 most of the time .

I once did an open trifle like nigella makes I did mine with chocolate  brownies stewed mixed berries with booze and whipped cream all piled on a plate it was good .
