I've been doing some compulsory mince pie testing with my girlfriend so by the time Christmas rolls around I'll be stocked on the tastiest ones.
Story so far:
Sainsbury's Free From - 5/10
Not a bad pie, pastry is a little dry, it being gluten free too, a little on the pricey side. £2 for 4.
Essential Waitrose - 8/10
Very tasty filling, soft pastry, and only £1 for 6
Asda- 8/10
Again very tasty with soft pastry, perhaps more spiced than the Waitrose ones, cheapest of the lot at 80p for 6.
Morrison's Free From - 7/10
Best of the gluten free ones I've had, moodiness of the mincemeat worked well with their pastry. Still not cheap, I think £2 for 4
Waitrose Free From - 5/10
A nice enough filling, but loses points for being expensive £2.50 for 4
Sainsbury's Free From Iced - 7/10
A nice change from the regular mince pies with some icing on top. Smaller than regular mince pies, but nice to have variety.
I think that's it so far. I'll update upon further testing
