Co-op mince pies - normal not Luxury or bakery shortcrust - smashable but not delicious.
Big empty space inside the pastry.
The pastry is grainy and dry, like making a sandcastle with dry sand. DOOSTY.
Filling is sweet, not quite cloying, but lacks variation and depth, no discernible booziness to my palate.
What's good about them? Somehow end up feeling quite light, I've just smashed 3 in a row and feels like I could back the whole deck in one sitting.
