Well how are we doing out there, I hope you're all spot on. Thanks for watching the video.
I've been shopping, I've been to Morrison's, come and have a look at what I've got.
I do love a pie and I seen this was new so I had to get it. Puff pastry chicken and bacon pie
made with British chicken and pork. 500 grams, it's freezable, little traffic light system for
the nutrition. There is the serving suggestion. Is it a sharer? 500 grams, it was £3.99 so let's
take a look at the packaging. Depends how hungry you are really, depending on when you want to
share it or not. So let's go round the back. Chicken and bacon pie, 500 grams like we said.
Pieces of chicken breast and thigh in a creamy smoked bacon sauce encased
in shortcrust pastry with a puff pastry lid. This product contains alcohol.
Ingredients, I don't know why I decided to go elsewhere then, it's just next one down.
Wheat, milk. Are the allergens? We have chicken, 19%. We've got, what else, we've got smoked streaky
bacon with added water, 5%. Pork, 88%. There is nutrition there if you want to pause that and
have a look at that in more detail and please go ahead. Where's to cook? From chilled or from
frozen, it's up to you. There they are, the only guidelines aren't they? And we've got a GB sticker
there and it says produced by Morrisons from British chicken and pork. So how many servings is
this? A warning, although every effort and care has been taken to remove bones, some may remain,
not suitable for those on a low potassium diet. That does say a lot with this. Now I have done,
I have done quite a few of these actually in this range and they're outstanding, they really are
outstanding. Really, really good. So let's get this open and see what we've got. Well before we do,
I'll just tell you this, it says contains four portions. Four? Maybe two at a push.
Yeah, two at a push. I suppose a load of mash, mashed potato and some vegetables,
a load of chips, a load of bread and butter. Right, have we got a tab system? We've got my
finger and my gut. Let's get into it. Just like that. Fair bit of weight in it. That's what you
get. I'll take it out. So it covers my hand. It's a bit of a, it's a big, big pie. Yes. Yes.
Look at that. When the pie was open, the birds began to. Yes, very good indeed.
I'm going to put mine on a baking tray like that. It says leave in the foul container.
This isn't frozen. I bought it fresh. And if you want to eat it cold, you can.
If you want to eat a cold pie, it's up to you. It can be eaten hot or cold.
Preheated. It's going in a fan oven on the bake setting for 170 degrees for 30 minutes.
And I'm just going to have a cup of tea. Well, that's in the oven. I've got some spiel here
made in Yorkshire with quality ingredients. Morrison's pies are created from scratch
using traditional recipes to bring that hearty home cooked flavour to your dinner table.
Morrison's making it ourselves. It's warmed up. Let's get it out. Have a look.
Yeah, no soggy bottom. Puff pastry lid. Yeah, it's crisp. I'm going to get it cut in half.
Let's see if we can replicate that picture on the box. This is the time. This is whether it'll
tell or not. Well, I think on the box, it's sort of been dug into, hasn't it? There's your lid.
There's inside like a white creamy sauce, isn't it? There's your other half. Can't really see
in there. It's not oozing out, but we'll cut it open. We'll do a little bit of a look. So let's
get this cut in half again. We'll have a look, see what we're getting for our money.
Bit of an autopsy on one half. So it's 19% chicken. 19, that would be nice if it was a lot
more than 19, wouldn't it? So you can see your bacon bits in there, like little bacon lardons.
There's your chicken. There's some more chicken there. So only a few bits in this side. Let's
see if this requires a full autopsy, this one, because we need to know are the old chicken content
helps it cool down. That looks pretty, doesn't it? Not. So some more chicken,
more chicken. We need to know. Bits of bacon's sort of thrown in there. Yeah, could do with
more chicken than that, really. Yeah, probably all the chicken there in the pie. Yeah, so I mean,
little bits of bacon in there. We want more chicken, don't we? We want, especially if this
is divided into four, you only get maybe two or maybe two sort of cube bits of chicken each.
I think this would be interesting to see what the steak pie was like, because it seemed a lot more,
but that was just steak. And maybe I think they put more steak in, was it? 30% was the steak
content, I think it was, if I remember. This is 19, so considerably less, but because they put
bacon in there, but the bacon's very small. It's just, let's just try it anyway. It is tasty. Now
this goes right up against, I'll just eat this. I did a pie from Aldi, specially selected.
I think it was a turkey festive pie. That was very good. Very, very tasty. It was a
cracking creation. This is similar in flavour to that one. However, there's less, seems to be less,
and this is chicken less in here than there were in that one. I think that was 500 grams as well.
I've got a pie playlist. I'll have to have a look. And I will put a link in the description
if you want to click on that. It'll take you straight to my pie, all my pie videos.
Lot of pastry, lots and lots of pastry. And for me, not enough chicken, not enough chicken
fillet. It's a bit of a smoky, creamy flavour that I'm picking up as well. It's well,
it's well seasoned with salt. For me, it needs a little bit of pepper, because I like me pepper.
That chicken's good. Nice and moist.
Yeah, it's just, and I mean, the bacon content in there is very small.
Little sort of bits of, very small sort of cube bits of bacon. Need more of it. Yeah.
It's a shame it is tasty, but it's just not enough, not enough filling for me.
Look at that, I can't get a line, can I? Well, I can, but I'm not going to on here.
So yeah, it's a shame really. It's, it's quite, it's pretty, pretty good like,
but for me, probably about 7 out of 10. I am quite a generous market. It's, it's just the way I am.
I don't really go below 5. If it goes in the bin, it's a zero. I know that, but it's normally,
I try and give the food a chance. I always like to give the food a chance.
So thanks for watching. I do appreciate it. Thanks. It's been great, the channel lately,
