No will power.
God. I remember when Mince pies didn't appear until December.

It was awful.

My colleague has work has been bringing them in for about a week. Won't touch any for at least another fortnight. However I've just remembered the Waitrose Heston ones are incredible.

They do a cherry one now

Lidl x12 £2 were next to the Deutschland-sourced Stollen, last month.
Yes it was an early start.
Currently content with the Iceland, yes Iceland, x12 £1.89, veg.
Good pastry, good ratio filling to pastry.
2 in a dish, 30 secs in the microwave, plain yoghurt and a squirt of Sriracha sauce!

Oh. HELLO.

Will have to try that. When it's December though, you fucking heathens.

Had a couple of coop puff pastry pies last week (vegan too). Acceptable.
Just necked a couple of Gregg's pies. Where have you been all year!

Have you tried it?

No - I love Siracha and often think I would literally have it on just about anything....

But I think you've taken it too far......

So... What's the best pie to get this season?

Wow... Wouldn't have thought mince pie thread to be the most responsive.

Personally;
Iceland >> Lidl, on taste, texture & price.

So far, Heston but controversy over whether it's a true mince pie.

Would expect Konditor and Cook to be excellent again.

Yeah, not sure a crumble top counts. Heston, why can't you just play by the rules for once?

To be fair they are incredibly tasty

Is this why you don't compete in hill climbs anymore ;-)
