We are drawing near to the end of voting for ‘Make My Pie’ and the competition is hotting up.
We’ve already had hundreds of votes for the final eight shortlisted pies, but there is still time to make sure your favourite is the one chosen to go on sale at Melrose and Morgan this Autumn.
This time we’ve asked the people behind the pies and our own Melrose and Morgan staff to tell us about the pie they think has got what it take to be a winner.
It’s decision time for you all pie lovers out there, as we arrive at the shortlist stage of our Make My Pie competition.
After a brilliant response and some excellent pie entries, our tough panel of Melrose and Morgan chefs have whittled down the list to a shortlist of their eight favourites.
Now, its over to you to decide which of these delicious sounding pies is going to make it through to development, before it goes on sale later this year.
Will it be the indulgent ‘Autumnal’ or ‘Rabbit’ pies, exotic ‘ChiChoChi’ or ‘Spice of Life’ pies, taste of summer ‘Primavera’, vegetarian ‘Squtternut Bosch’ or old favourites ‘English Breakfast’ and ‘Sunday Lunch’ pies?
Our Executive Chef, Caleb Laws who headed up the judging panel, said of the shortlist;
“The Make My Pie competition entries really were top notch. There were some fantastic sweet and savoury pie ideas, but it was the innovative savoury creations which really got our attention. I went for strong flavours with classic, but interesting combinations. As a pie-mad New Zealander I cannot wait to start developing the winning pie!”
The winning entry will get to see their pie on sale at Melrose and Morgan, credited to them as the winner, for a limited run over the month of October. The winner will also receive £100 in Melrose and Morgan vouchers to spend anytime they like.
Voting closes on 31st May.
