About

I enjoy eating Mince pies. I love the tiny pastry containers, filled with fruity, rich mincemeat and decorated with a neat top.

Mince Pies seem to hit our shelves in the UK earlier and earlier, but that doesn’t bother me. Instead, I work out a plan to try between 20-30 Mince Pies before Christmas and give you some helpful information, to help you make an informed choice on what to buy.

I like to look for interesting combinations, standard Pies (shortcrust and puff pastry) as well as anything else that catches my eye.

some notable mentions of festive foods from previous years:

Christmas tree flavoured crisps – Iceland

A huge Beef Christmas sandwich – Sainsbury’s

A SUSHI Christmas Wreath (not a joke) – Tesco

Salted caramel topped mince pies – Aldi

Mince Pie flavoured fudge – Waitrose
