“Hand pie” sounds like a euphemism for something dirty.
I just (7/30/17) tried the Wicked Kitchen spinach and artichoke hand pie. I microwaved it as opposed to oven-heating it, so will take that into consideration (the package has instructions for both but doesn’t say which is preferable – we all know it’s the oven route). The flavors were pretty good, but the pastry was predictably soggy given the nuking. But I was really disappointed by the thing’s complete and utter implosion – it didn’t have nearly enough filling in it, and what was there was very soupy, with no body whatsoever. After cooking, the pie collapsed and was maybe one-third the thickness it started as, and I swear the top and bottom pastry in the center was touching in more places than not. The filling-to-pastry ratio was crazy out of proportion.
I just tried the same thing, was extremely impressed. well filled, tasted great.
I tried the chocolate sweet bites. Looked like a box of dog turds covered in pigeon poop. Tasted okay. 2/10
This is the truest comment I’ve seen. ? The texture is absolutely terrible, like cardboard or packaging peanuts. Taste is okay. Visual is definitely turd shaped with bird poo sauce.
