Took a delivery of four of the past two years’ undisputed champion (Forge Bakehouse, Sheffield) this morning. Initially struck by trepidation as they’ve swapped out the traditional pastry lid for a potentially controversial crumbly topping.
Needn’t have feared - these still absolutely bang. Pastry is crisp without being dry, filling remains absolutely on point, crumbly topping doesn’t really add much, but doesn’t detract either. Still a 10/10 pie, shame they are s0 fucking expensive but at least it will stop me eating too many.
