My Great Mince Pie Survey

Here we are again, my excuse to eat lots of mince pies in the disguise of a survey πŸ˜„ I would like to add that I don't eat all of them, my family eat them too.

Aldi's Holly Lane Iced Mince Pies in a shortcrust pastry topped with sweet icing.
I had one of these at a friends house, I'm not a fan of iced mince pies, but it was ok. I wouldn't buy them for myself though.

Mr Kipling Deep Filled Mince Pies in a rich buttery pastry case.
Very nice for a basic pie, and I didn't get indigestion!

Marks & Spencer spiced mincemeat encased in all butter shortcrust pastry.
Very nice

Marks & Spencer Brown Butter. Cookie dough pastry filled with spiced mincemeat. Very nice but not as nice as Waitrose ones which I managed to get this year, but that might be because the Waitrose ones have cognac in them.

Waitrose Rich Brown Butter pastry filled with glacΓ© Amarena cherry, almond and apricot mincemeat laced with cognac. Absolutely delicious, packed full of tasty fruit.

Waitrose Frangipane with Caramelised Almonds are gorgeous

Greggs, very nice. I went in for a sausage roll and bought just one because I already had others at home. 

co-op Irresistible All Butter filled with rich spiced fruit and brandy mincemeat, delicious.

 Be safe and well

  1. You were very generous to share your survey materials with your family. I would have eaten them all myself!

  2. I should have read your survey before I bought my mince pies. Still, we haven't done badly . . . πŸŽ…

  3. I never knew there were so many kinds of mince pies! I have to admit that I've never had one! I guess they're not a thing where I live, and I feel like I'm missing out!

  4. So much YUM! Nobody else in my household would enjoy these, but I'd gobble them right up!

    1. I have to be frugal with them as they give me indigestion which is why I like my family to have some!
