Picked up a box of their all-butter mince pies today. Wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur at the level of the regulars in this thread, but I thought they were a solid effort: pastry held together well, the mincemeat had a decent depth of flavour (I think the brandy + cider is a nice touch). I would deduct marks for the dusting of powdered sugar, but that’s a personal preference.
Some mince pie chatter in this article.
Anyone tried the Morissons?
