First mince pie of the season. I'm going to try to keep it restrained this year in the hope of avoiding too much Christmas bloat, so it's high end artisan shit for me only (golf club thread ahoy).
First out of the door, Marmaduke's bakery. I was out and about and hankering for caffeine and these were sitting on the counter top looking all tempting. Controversial crumbly top didn't really add much, but didn't detract either. Not short on filling, pleasingly boozy and spiced, but far too much like a mince flavoured jam for my liking, where is the whole fruit? Will probs bosh a couple more of these given their convenient location, 7.5/10, not a bad start.
