ESSENTIAL SHORTCRUST MINCE PIES (6) FINEST ALL BUTTER PASTRY MINCE PIES (6)

£1.25, Waitrose

The absolute best value for money. The pastry was perfection and the filling was juicy with fruit that exploded across your tongue. An added plus is this one is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. £2.25, Tesco

This one was filled to the brim but it was super sweet and a little dry. It needed something to help it out a bit. A touch of cream worked a treat. ★★III
