Sainsbury's In Store Bakery (ISB)
£1 for four. I used to work in Sainsbury's years ago so I know that the in store shorthand for anything made in the bakery is 'ISB', and if it says 'Misc ISB' on your receipt in means the checkout person couldn't find the right code for your baked goods. This code was also widely abused by checkout staff to discount things for their mates (#CSB).
Anyway, this pie is basically a less good version of the Percy Ingle baked-in-store pie, even down to the offset lid. It's better in every way than the 'TTD' (Taste the Difference) version and costs less, but is anaemic compared to the Percy Ingle offering and the mincemeat again isn't as good (although it's a hell of a lot better than the TTD version). Just like the TTD version they've sprinkled way too much sugar all over it which just makes a mess. If you're in a Sainsbo's I suspect they're the best option but I haven't tried their puff pastry ones or the deep fill yet. 6.5/10 and the same on the @dbr scale.
