[THREAD] Here it is - the moment everybody has been waiting for - the (non-)official top 10 @HollandsPies based on treats the company sent to me for #NationalPieDay
Let's go
Let's go
LAST PLACE - Cornish Pasty
While this classic was tasty and had a decent amount of filling, the texture was off, the appearance was slightly offputting and the smell was not great.

8TH PLACE - Cheese & Veg Pie
This pie is a decent attempt by @HollandsPies to bring quality veggie pastries to the market, but it didn't quite work.
The smell was chemically and the taste was nothing special.
However, as always they pack in a generous portion of the stuff.

7TH PLACE: Cheese & Onion Pie
Once again @HollandsPies fills this pastry generously, but the flavour and smell (I think of the cheese) was not up to scratch.

6TH PLACE: Veggie Mince & Gravy Pie
This pie suffered from the same underwhelming effect as much of @HollandsPies veggie selection.
We could tell it was vegetarian mince and while it tasted fine it was nothing to write home about.
Filling and appearance were great, though!

5TH PLACE: Mince & Onion Pie
This delicious pastry could never rank poorly, but it could never reach the top either.
A delightful smell hits you when you cut through the pie.
We'd label this the 'school dinners' of pie - it tastes good and smells great, but is nothing special.

4TH PLACE: Steak & Kidney Pudding
This fully-packed classic was truly enjoyable - tastes and smells fantastic.
The only real criticism is its appearance - extremely depressing looking. So do most meals I cook - it's only that which really holds back this treat from the top 3.

3RD PLACE: Meat & Potato Pie
A classic that was (once again) filled generously with its delicious meat/tatties combo.
Nothing much holds this pie back from taking first place in a future contest - just it's smell (that can't much be helped).

JOINT 2ND: Steak & Kidney Pie
This always satisfying pastry treat did not disappoint, with a healthy portion of its delicious filling and marvellous meaty texture.
This @HollandsPies classic is something to be proud of and came very close to come first.

JOINT 2ND: Chicken & Mushroom Pie
This tasty delight is another of @HollandsPies classics and, while I didn't expect it to come this close to the top, we're glad it did.
From its spectacular flavour to its wholesome smell, it is truly great.

WINNER: Steak Pie
In first place, this (not so little) pastry of pure joy has beaten the lot to come first place.
It is looks great, smells great, tastes great - and there's loads of it. One of the most satisfying pies I have had in a long time and will remain a true favourite.

HONORABLE MENTION: The humble yet incredible Meat Pie. A favourite of mine didn't make it into this competition, but (as reminded by @PhilTay84554482) this @HollandsPies classic should be put in a barm to enjoy by all - if you haven't, do it!
Thanks for reading and thanks again to @HollandsPies - I hope we weren't too harsh and fingers crossed I get to do this on #NationalPieDay again next year
