These were something I also bought from Lidl before Christmas. I think it’s the only time they have them although I may be wrong. They were bought when I didn’t know who would be here to feed but won’t be bought again.
The pies are quite large so no potatoes needed but the contents didn’t really fill the pie. I wasn’t surprised at some of the odd ingredients but it was the number of things they’d used in the Vegetable Stock that amazed me – carrot juice concentrate, water, dextrose, salt, dehydrated onion, lovage juice concentrate, sunflower oil, yeast extract, leek concentrate, sugar, tomato concentrate, extra virgin olive oil, garlic concentrate, spices and herbs………15 different ingredients! and who knew there was such a thing as lovage juice concentrate!
The pies were edible but not very interesting – more pastry than anything else.
That’s the last of the bought vegetarian things from the freezer except for the small party bits that I use one or two at a time with my home made curries or home made stir fries. I’m not going to stop buying them as they come in boxes of 12 (onion bhajis, vegetable spring rolls, vegetable samosas, tempura prawns etc) and by just having one or two with curry and rice or stir-fry and noodles. I make them last for ages.
