Redwood: Beef Style Pasties

I was surprised how much I enjoyed these. Everything just seemed well balanced, although I probably had quite a low expectation... I thought they might be like the Frys Pepper Steak pies which I didn't much like. The filling is nice, beef style things are ok and you get a good amount of potato cubes. And the pastry is good too for a frozen item. They are also a good size, and as they aren't boxed you can size them up in store. The ratio of filling and pasty too is good, everything is good - nice seasoning, size, not too dry or moist. It's hard to fault to I'll stop, say 5/5 and let you know if anything changes! Thanks

Forest Foods: Middle Eastern Style Filo Wrap

I didn't read the description of this before I ate it so it was different to how I though it would taste. It's description is "Soya mince seasoned with cinnamon, chillis and lemon in filo pastry".  Which makes more sense than the samosa type thing I was expecting. And it's very nice too. Not that hot, the mince does take a substantial amount of the filling, but it's a good tasting one and is seasoned really well. The filo is quite fragile, much of mine was broken as I put in the oven, but I don't mind picking up the broken bits. It's hard to say what it tastes like though, you can taste the cinnamon a bit, which may not sound nice with mince but it is. It's not sweet, and it's balanced with other spices I think. Nice to try something different. 4/5
