This is what happened, I was walking past a McDonalds restaurant in downtown Bangkok, inside was a promotion poster for a broccoli pie. Yes! Broccoli. I say again Broccoli.
I went in and bought myself one to take home. It costed 29baht(about 90 US cents).
The pie is in the usual McDonalds pie box….
Unboxed, revealing crispy deep fried goodness…
The pie revealed…..
The close up….
Ok let us talk about what it tasted like, I actually liked it alot. The pastry was crispy & slightly sweet, the filling is broccoli, mushrooms & some sort of mornay sauce. The flavour of the broccoli is pared back, it does not dominate. Their is also a hint of coconut, I don’t know what it is from but it is pleasant……..
McDonalds should put this pie on the menu globally, broccoli is good for you………. what do you think?

i gotta vote ‘no.’ it seems to be the apple pie crust. so a deep fried lard crust filled with processed cheese and some token broccoli bits isn’t really healthy.
besides, we already have ‘hot pockets’ that at least have some chicken bits in ‘em.
