However, all true mincers have experienced the enduring dismay of a substandard mince pie, a state of negativity, worse than bereft of a mince pie.
This only serves to heighten the nirvana achieved when the one true mincer is found and eaten. One must work to get to that point, a #mincerlife needs to be earned...

That appears to be based upon some positivist thinking, that the spectrum of 'mince pies' only exists from zero, the absence of mince pies, to the blissful state of possessing mince pies.

For year round devotees, we need a balancing list of execrable brands. These can be invoked to revitalise a jaded/blissful palate that has gorged on 5* mince pies.
