So, ( the Good, Bad and Ugly. )

In conclusion, it's not that I don't like the strudel (because I do), nor is it about what I could've done better (which is a lot). I don't like the amount of work I had to put into this to get a result. I mean, I made the strudel on an off day from work, and it took forever. As it happens, the savoury was split between me and my grandmother for dinner that day, and it barely was enough. Too much work, too little result. Would not repeat, despite the good results.
