[Toronto] Winter Holiday Food and Drink

Rhum Corner has already sold out of their Kremas.

Very impressed by Dough Bakeshop’s holiday offerings, as well as their regular year-round selection of squares and tarts.

FYI there’s a boxing day sale Volo is having for their online only orders (frozen pies have to be pickup in-store after your online order). Also they have PDC’s chicken pot pie which I haven’t tried before. Use code BOTTEGA20 for 20% off and we have HST holiday. Valid till end of this year.

Thanks!!

We bought 3 pies from Sharman’s. And unfortunately these were the worst pies we’ve ever tasted. Tasted like a culinary student’s attempt at making a pie and failing the class. The cooking instructions resulted in an under-cooked pie (yes, my oven is calibrated). Everything was dry. The pastry was terrible and the top comes off like a frisbee. On our final pie, their tourtiere, I baked it more using visual and temperature cues and it was… ugh. Rating for all pies: 0/100. i.e. not worth a penny. If there was anything positive about the pies we tried, I thought the strong cinnamon in their blueberry pie was a combination I’d like to try myself. But the whole package still failed miserably,

Brutal. I am very sorry to hear this.

All part of the game of trying new stuff. Sometimes you win, sometimes not. :smiley:

True! On the topic of pies, we liked Kenny’s pies, which are savoury hand pies sold at Hamers Coffee Thu to Sun I think. They’re small. More like puff pastry pies, but nice fillings. I can’t remember if I posted about them in the British and Irish food in [Toronto] and the Greater Toronto Area, 2024 thread
