Tonight I have something Extra Special for you! This year, ASDA have brought out four different packs of their high quality festive pies, presumably to cater for a larger audience. (Clockwise from top left: Brandy buttercream, Caramel crumble, Sloe gin and the luxury ones) And that is the order I’ll review them in. Brandy buttercream … More ASDA Extra Special pies (4 different packs)
In today’s double review, I look at the standard and luxury mince pies that Iceland have to offer. The standard pies will only require you to part with a pound coin, whereas you’ll need £1.89 for the luxury product. 89p for a luxury product isn’t too shabby either, but that’s what i’ve come to expect … More Iceland double whammy
£2.29 per pack and 38 pence per pie. There’s recently been a new LIDL planted quite close to my house and as a result, I’ve visited them more often. On a recent trip, I managed to find gingerbread mince pies. “A new flavoured pie”, I said to myself. Silently. The star-studded-gingerbread-coloured box was what caught … More 6 Deluxe Gingerbread mince pies, by LIDL
Welcome to the first WordPress-blog-post of my 2019 mince pie review!! I did the first on Facebook (search for Phil reviews mince pies) which were Sainsbury’s taste the difference pies. This interesting mince pie variation will set you back £1.79, a shade under 30p per pie. A well priced pack of pies, if they’re good! … More Aldi 6 black forest crumble mince pies
97p for 6, 16.2p a pie. Thank you Mr Chay Boare for the gift of these pies! You’re a star. My first box of mince pies, were given generously in October. Last year’s review can be found here: Asda 6 Mince Pies Asda’s basic pies are back and they’re still vegan friendly. Not something that many … More 6 ASDA Mince Pies
£1.35 for 4 pies or 33.7p a pie Many thanks to Mr Chay Boare for these wonderful pies. This is actually the third box he’s bought for me, so I am eternally grateful for your kind generosity. This box happens to be my first of the year made with gluten free ingredients and I’m always … More 6 Free From Mince Pies, by ALDI
£2.25 per pack. Serves 4(!) For this week’s festive item, i’ve gone for something vegetarian. A mushroom wellington. I chose it because I love beef wellington (not that i’ll really be comparing the two), it’s a festive product and the price was very agreeable. I was never going to compare this to the meat one, … More Tesco Vegetarian Portobello Mushroom Wellington
£2.50 for two pies I noticed these for the first time last year. They were introduced after all the other mince pies had been out for a while. I must tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed them. Each tart is a good size, 8cm across. They have a dusting of icing sugar and a pastry star … More Tesco Finest Spiced Plum Linzer Tarts
£3 per 130g pack Good evening and welcome to another review of festive food. Another item that claims to be made with mince pie ingredients. Guess what? This fudge, just like the Mince Pie ice cream from ALDI, contains mincemeat and not the whole mince pie. That grates on me a bit more than it … More Mince Pie fudge, by Waitrose
£2 or 50p per pie. While I was perusing my local Co-op store, I noticed a stand full to the brim with festive products. Without haste, I picked up a pack of their ‘normal’ Irresistible range (classic pastry and mincemeat style) pies and then this pack caught my eye, much lower down on the display. … More 6 Salted Caramel & Rum Mince pies, by Co-op
