Foreign Pie News

 Incredibly, we have two pies to review, both both from the same roadside bakery in Dalat.

They were unlabelled (presumably to assist sales), but I've had a stab at guessing their contents. 

Pie A:

A lattice topped tart really. Terribly heavy, slightly soggy attempt at shortcrust pastry.  (Put me in mind of a flannel....)

Filling-wise, it seemed to be a mixture of coconut and condensed milk (sweetened. Of course)

Overall, not a good effort..

Pie B:

A crude attempt at puff pastry, its leaden layers concealed a filling which appeared to be a mixture of sage and onion stuffing and unrecognisable pork products. 

I found the filling quite tasty, but given that we'd just passed a stall selling pig snouts, JB gave it a very firm thumbs down.
