Mr Kiplings Apple pies

Advantages: A good teatime treat
Disadvantages: nothing major

...Mr Kipling bakes exceedingly good cakes! ...Yes I can agree with that statement!. His bramley apple pies are good, attractive little pies ...if you can describe fruit pies in that way! So lets start from the very beginning...each pie would make an ideal teatime treat or an individual dessert served with ice cream or custard. The buttery shortcrust pastry is light and crumbly. Each pie has a little apple cut out on the top...a nice finishing touch...and the pie crust is liberally sprinkled with sugar. Now for the filling...a generously filled pie, when you take your first bite the apple oozes out and if you haven`t got a Kleenex to hand your chin can end up looking a mess! Although the apple filling is very tasty it always disappoints me. This may sound like a contradiction but it is more of an observation. The filling is described...

Review of Mr. Kipling Apple Pie

Smartprice maybe, but apple pies are perhaps not a Smartpurchase.

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, just about does the job.
Disadvantages: Not a lot of apple. Pastry is quite stale.

...Christmas shopping in my household is somewhat a tradition in itself. Such fun it is seeing how quickly we can fill our trolleys. Everybody knows however that it is mince pies that are the traditional Christmas sweet, but as some members of my family do not like them, we also get a couple of trays of apple pies alongside them. Toddling down the bakery aisle we came across Asda Smartprice Apple Pies, and for what seemed the perfectly reasonable price of 36p for a tray of 6 (6p per pie), I have to say I was not terribly impressed. The unappealing packaging leaves a lot to be desired, though this wasn't a problem for me as I wasn't intending on eating the packaging. It simply said "6 apple pies" on the front in legible letters (good enough for me). But as I was sat at home, fancying a small snack, I rummaged through my cupboard and came...

Review of Asda Smartprice Apple Pies

It's Like Warm Apple Pie

Advantages: Good cast, script and very funny
Disadvantages: If you don't like High School comedies maybe give it a miss

...There are certain pressures every High School student seems to endure and one of the most common is the urge to lose their virginity. So for Jim and his 3 friends, Oz, Kevin and Finch it is imperative that all 4 of them manage to do it before they leave High School. So they make a pact to help each other along the way and ensure they all succeed. What then ensues is 95 minutes of comedy that keeps you laughing from start to finish, including some rather funny moments featuring an Apple Pie and another with some Beer. It has now become one of the classic comedies of recent time and American Pie is probably a film that the majority of people have now seen. It is one of those films that regardless of how many times you have seen it, it still has the ability to keep you laughing. In that respect it is a very good all round comedy...

One in the Apple Pie for Mr Kipling

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Basic packaging

...If I told you I'd just bought a pack of six individual apple pies for 37p, what would your initial thoughts be? If you're very slightly greedy, as I am, then your thoughts probably won't go any further than the simple 'apple pie to share'. However, the more cost conscious amongst us might take note of that 37p. I mean, that isn't a whole lot of money to pay for six apple pies, is it? Mr Kipling sells his apple pies for £1.03 for six in my local asda, so how can these be so cheap? Well, I'm guessing here, but I'd imagine that Asda have cut corners wherever possible, when producing their Smart Price Apple Pies. For example, these apple pies are sat on your bog-standard six slot plastic cake case, each encased in its own little metal cup, then all six sealed into one plastic bag which proclaims 'Asda Smart Price 6 Apple Pies on the front...

Apple Pie Eyed!

Advantages: It's An Ice Cream
Disadvantages: Pastry Is Awful

...~~~ Ben & Jerry's - Oh My! Apple Pie! ~~~ 500ml tub. ~ What Is It? ~ Apple pie ice cream with pieces of apple and chunks of rich pie crust. ~ Why Buy? ~ Being a huge Ben and Jerry's fan, I decided to give this a try. I have tried many of the other flavours and truly loved them, so I was sure I was about to add this to my 'Ben & Jerry's' wish list. Also on the packaging it reads 'To find the perfect supply of "oh my" for our apple pie ice cream, we tapped entire family trees full of great baking secrets and epic apple pie recipes. Then we combined sweet, juicy apples, rich pie crust pieces, and some ice cream alchemy secrets of our own, for a flavour that's "Oh My" loaded enough to satisfy your wildest apple pie appetite. Enjoy!". Ummmm, sounds scrummy!! ~ Value For Money? ~ Well, I do tend to love all Ben...

Mr Kipling Apple Pie

Advantages: Quick, cheap and convienient
Disadvantages: The apple is a bit runny and lacks much flavour

...I occasionally buy Mr Kipling apple pie and they are okay for convienence as you can heat them in the microwave but not as good as home made. * PACKAGING, COST AND APPEARANCE * Mr Kipling apple pies are packaged in 3 high two pies on each stack in stay fresh plastic see through containers and covered with an outer red cardboard wrapper saying Mr Kipling apple pies.

They cost typically £1.50 for 6 at your local supermarkets. * TASTE * Mr Kipling apple pies the pastry taste sweet, light and buttery and the inner apple sauce tastes a little too sweet, a bit soapy and watery. Therefore not much apple taste. They each can be heated in the microwave took out of their foil case on a plate for 15 seconds per...

Review of Mr. Kipling Apple Pie

More Pie than Apple

Advantages: Good Value no fuss food
Disadvantages: Lacks a good apple flavour

...I love apple pie, there is something so comforting and wholesome about the flavour. It can conjure up memories of family picnics, afternoon teas or Sunday lunch at Grandma?s. I was delighted to spot the new re-vamped Apple Pies by the oh so talented Mr Kipling the other day and had no hesitation in allowing them to hitch a ride in my shopping trolley. When I say revamped I should add that it this is mainly down to the packaging and presentation of the little pies. Having said this these changes are quite impressive and worthy of mention. The New Packaging The pies now are now individually wrapped which ensures each pie's freshness for longer. They are paired off in plastic trays, with a plastic cover, the centre is perforated if a single pie is all that is required. In the six pack version the pairs are neatly stacked...

Apple IPhone

Advantages: read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...Ok well im going to be giving a review on the Apple IPhone, ive had it for about two months now, and feel its about appropriate time to give my views on the product, as ive had enough time to play around and get use to it. The IPhone was given to me as a present, a few months back, I was at first not sure whether I wanted the IPhone, it seemed too expensive and full of applications and tools I really didn't want. I already had an Ipod and a Phone. so my thinking was why would I in principle want to get another one. However, being the kind person I am I accepted the gift and went to the shops with my dad were we purchased the phone. Now before you buy your phone you must decide whether you want to purchase the 8GB phone of the 16GB phone. What's the difference, well the smaller one only costs £269, whilst opting for the larger one will...

Review of Apple iPhone

It's like warm apple pie

Advantages: Started off the teen movie era, orignal, funny, great cast
Disadvantages: None

...Launched in 1999 American Pie can be credited with starting off the teen movie genre, which to this day is still one of my all time favourites. The story starts with Jim (played by Jason Biggs) performing an intimate act with very embarrassing consequences. This is the best opening scene of any film, and whilst cringe worthy it is pure genius. The opening scene sets up the rest of the film perfectly as the audience are introduced to four friends being Jim, Oz (played by Chris Klein), Kevin (played by Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (played by Eddie Kay Thomas) make a pact to become 'men' and lose their virginity by the time they graduate from high school. There are 2 rules. It must be consensual (alcohol is not allowed) and prostitution is forbidden. Other than that it is each man for himself. The clever part of this film is...

  The Apple Of My i

Advantages: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life.
Disadvantages: The Megapixel of the camera is put to shame by other phones available.

...I had been waiting for this day for some time. My 18 month contract with T-Mobile is coming up for renewal next week, however having had problems gaining reception in my area I'd opted to look elsewhere for a new contract. A few weeks back my problems were solved when I was shopping around to try and find the best mobile contract, and discovered that O2 would be stocking the Apple iPhone as of November the 9th. Not only was I looking for a new mobile contract, but also a replacement MP3 player so the Apple iPhone seemed ideal. I made plans to purchase the iPhone and on the evening of release made my way down to the nearest O2 store upon finishing work, bagging myself my very own iPhone at a price of £269. Although the price did seem a little steep, especially considering that I would be paying out a further £35 a month for the contract...
