Mince Pie Appreciation

Some prankster put that mincer through the oven twice?

I went through a phase of doing this when I was skint because they will chuck you a fiver or tenner in vouchers no questions asked if you're nice about it

i did tesco's, cafe nero'ses, waitrose's, the lot.

Give one of the Percy Ingle bakeries a go. They bake every night.

Greggs not getting much praise here.
I might make my own this year.

You can kind of ignore those, though. Why would baker Alice Fevronia have the same tastes as you or me?

Greggs one is sweet this year. Pstry is good. As always.

First set: Iceland. Can confirm they’re good!

Next set: M&S

Might as well put this whole thread on ignore then! :D

I have M&S pies. I have infected the whole of Staines with 8-day plague in the process of walking in and I’m pretty sure I blacked out momentarily on Staines Bridge, but fuck ‘em. Reference pics. M&S pie on the left, Iceland one on the right.

Yeah, M&S is a good pie. Slightly more orange zesty than the Iceland one with a hint of booze. It’s good.

The national expert, Mrs B, has given the word on the three (3!) mincers of the day: #1 Co-OP standard, #2 Iceland, #3 Co-OP luxury. Just never accept her homemade, I make garden walls with them....

Just gave the gf's toddler his first ever mincer (Gregg's, obvs) - he howled when he realised he could only have one. Much pride.

Advent Sunday, and lo, the season formally opens as mincers come with clouds descending (for me today - Morrison's in-store bakery 'the best', 8/10).

Good luck, all.

went to Redbourne Mill near St Albans today. £4 for 6 is on the pricey end of things but my god are they good!

Are they ' 6 in one sitting' good?

Can we list it?

Melrose and Morgan

Will grab some Morrison bakery ones tomorrow, and see how they are this year. They've been just the right combo ( for me ) of large, well-filled and buttery in the past

4 in one. they're pretty big.

means 2 for breakfast so I'm thankful for that

Konditor and Cook are the best I reckon. One of the saddest things I lost when I went vegan, they're amazing.

They should be tho at SlXTEEN quid for 12..

Good point. Being 'stuck' with Greggs vegan mince pies at £1.75 for six means I have money for whisky.
