Higgidy has added two new products to its autumn line-up, described as ‘warming winter’ solutions for meals and snacking. The new Chicken & Sage Roasted Potato Pie (£4.70, 250g) brings together the classic flavours of a traditional British Sunday lunch. It is filled with British free-range chicken, carrots and parsnips in a roast chicken, sage and white wine gravy, encased in all-butter shortcrust pastry and topped with crushed sage-roasted potatoes. Catering to vegetarian consumers, the Honey-Roasted Butternut Squash & Sage Veggie Rolls (£3.30, 160g six-pack) contain a honey-roasted butternut squash, parsnip and carrot filling wrapped in all-butter puff pastry. Each snack roll is topped with an Emmental and sage sprinkle. Both products launched into Sainsbury’s on 13 September, Waitrose on 18 September and will arrive in Asda from 9 October.
