I don't know about you, but one of my favourite things about Christmas is the fact that the shops start selling a whole range of party food. There's nothing better than chowing down on a plate of mini brie and cranberry tarts, is there?
Today's review is something you may have spotted on our Instagram page - these mini turkey and stuffing pasties from Sainsburys.
The pack of 10 pasties cost £1.75, which isn't bad at all. The pasties are quite a good size and, when I peeled back the lid, the smell of sage and onion tickled my nostrils. They smelt like Christmas dinner!
They are ready to eat, but I chose to heat mine in the over - 200 degrees for 8 minutes - as I definitely prefer my pastry snacks nice and hot.
As they warmed up, the smell in my kitchen was amazing! I couldn't wait for the 8 minutes to be up.
I was pleasantly suprised by the amount of filling hidden within the pastry. I find mini pasties can sometimes be half full, meaning you get a mouth full of pure pastry, but these were spot on. There was no scrimping on the stuffing here!
The filling is absolutely delicious! There is plenty of flavour from the sage and onion, but you still get that meatiness from the turkey. Everything is beautifully seasoned and, though the pastry is softer and more doughy in texture, it works wonderfully with the filling.
Sainsburys have executed this fantastically|! The mini pasties taste and smell exactly like a Christmas dinner. I don't know why I waste my time on turkey feast sandwiches, when I could be devouring these.
These are a great little party food...that's if you can manage to share. I certainly don't think I will be offering them out, as they are far too delicious!
