Scott Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm sitting lunching on a couple of "Extra Special" chicken and bacon pies from Asda. Why on earth is there potato in this thing? I didn't buy chicken, bacon and potato? Is it for filling or is potato in a chicken and bacon pie seen as extra special? Extra special for me would mean big tender chunks of chicken and nice strips of bacon in a white chicken sauce. Instead I'm presented with stragles of washed off the bone chicken, more fat than bacon-bacon and huge chunks of potato. I wouldn't mind so much if these were the cheap, bottom of the barrell smartprice pies but they are meant to be extra special! Cheeky feckers so they are, filling out their pies with dross that isn't on the advertising. You need to read the ingredients to find potato. Don't get me wrong, I'm no chicken and bacon pie connoisseur. I'm quite happy to sit with said smartprice pies. I just don't understand how they can throw in the worst quality of ingredients, fill it out with potato for some strange reason, throw some nice looking dustings onto the pastry and call it extra special? I think I'll write a letter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy James Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Lol.. I just ate a chicken pie from sainsburys, unfortunately mine had neither bacon or potato. Just alot of gravy and a few bits of chicken. Yours must have been extra special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I had this with some cod that Birdseye sell, not cheap and meant to be the best quality. The box shows a nice piece of cod with flakes of white, when you cook and cut open you are faced with a grey mush of crap! I e-mailed birdseye and told them about this and the fact I wouldn't feed this muck to my dog and they just sent a standard apology letter with some poxy voucher.

Tannhauser Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 On the subject of unnecessary fillings in comestibles, I'd just like to say that I found a fingernail embedded in my Morrison's loaf last week. It was a good 1 cm long (the nail, not the loaf). I know Morrison's aren't the most upmarket supermarket, but come on. It's not like it was Lidl.

To be fair, if it was Lidl, you would have got the entire hand. And Scott, I think you need to take you pie up to high altitude and then see what happens under test conditions - I'm not sure which ones exactly, but you'll come up with something - while you're waiting for your brew to boil.

Tannhauser Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Scott - it was Morrison's own bakery. To be fair, the nail was free from varnish and was quite clean. It was embedded in the top crust. Paul - comestibles = edible items LBM - you know if you have a cast on your leg for six weeks or so, the skin underneath becomes thick, yellowish and cheesy? Well, that's what Lidl make their bread from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
