Mark Thin pastry very dry and undercooked, as soon as it had moisture near it it tasted very floury. Excellent meat but too salty. A nice amount of pepper and after burn but no jelly.
Score 6.0/10
Tim Pasty looking pie. Hole for jelly and lots of rat runs but very little jelly, it needed it. Pastry was very pale and soft, a little bit sweet, meat was coarse well seasoned but too much salt, plenty going on in there. Needed cooking a bit more.
Score 6.5/10
Kevin Very pale looking thin pastry, no jelly dry lots of coarse granular meat too much salt, very very spicey, lots of afterburn has potential to be a good pie.
