My partner went to Sainsbury's big new store in Selly Oak and came back with lots of great things for me to review (and the cats to view with suspicion)
The first of these is this fairly simple chicken & leek pie.
Sorry - TRIUMPHANTLY simple free range chicken pie, with ham and leeks (range unknown). Surprisingly it says you could eat it cold. I'd never really considered that with other brands - but Higgedy are the masters of the cold pies with seeds and yummy goodness on top - it makes sense they'd pre-cook all the ingredients. And the insides are like something out of a farm shop - but more on those later - first we have to deal with the outside...
My partner claims that she didn't deliberately buy one with a big heart on the top for valentines day. She may not of consciously noticed, there is a big window on the box though so clearly her brain did. I accept my loving gesture on Valentines week and look forwards to further spontaneous romantic things.
The big heart pie forms part of a lovely nutritious meal too - with those crispy potato things I always forget to buy.
And the insides are as expected - huge chunks of meat that actually require cutting up! Recognisable leek and tasty ham. I'd happily have these again as a variation on my typical Pie Minister, and I'm now intrigued about the possibilities of me taking these to work and eating them cold!
