Mince Pie Appreciation

SHOWTIME. Ok, the M&S (left) is definitely better than the ASDA (right). The M&S filling is much more tangy, citrusy and the crisper pastry leaves behind a nice nutty, buttery aftertaste. I'm going to put the ASDA in at a provisional 5th place, but I'll need to do a direct comparison with the Sainsburys ones to see who gets actual 5th place. I'm tempted to put them in joint equal.

My supermarket list so far (best to worst):

1. Waitrose Brown Butter with COURVOISIER VS Cognac IN SHOUTY CAPS
   
2. M&S -FOOD- COLLECTION mince pies in the gold box
   
3. M&S C L A S S I C All Butter
   
4. Waitrose 6 All Butter
   
5. ASDA Extra Special (provisional)
   
6. Sainos TTD all butter pastry (provisional)
   
7. Tesco finest All Butter Pastry Mince Pies with Brandy & Port
   
8. Sainsbury's 6 straight-up no bullshit deep filled
   
9. M&S festive iced topped
   
10. Waitrose 9 mini all-butter (didn't like)
    
11. Lidl Deluxe 12 All Butter Mini Mince Pies (really not great)
    
    

Edit: my pictures SUCK
