Christmas Eve. It has been a long, crazy year and for many of us in the UK, Christmas has been cancelled. As one final hurrah, lets go out with a bang and review some Harrods mince pie which, avid followers of the blog will know currently hold the top spot on the ultimate leaderboard. Can they make it a 1-2?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><a href="https://themincepieadministration.blogspot.com/2020/12/2020-harrods-chocolate-cherry-and.html#more">Read more »</a>W Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02486878956862066217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332244323721605847.post-49705288823221925462020-12-23T17:59:00.004+00:002020-12-23T17:59:54.387+00:002020 - Aldi - Specially Selected - Blood Orange Crumble Mince Pies<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Aldi, I nearly forgot Aldi! Frequent winners of the decent mince pie contest by other mince pie reviewers, its time to see what they have. I have picked up these blood orange crumble mince pies as they looked interesting.

While I much prefer whiskey, I do tend to enjoy a nice spiced rum and coke every now and again. Hopefully these are better than the Tesco Plant Chef mince pies.<span></span></span></p><a href="https://themincepieadministration.blogspot.com/2020/12/2020-tesco-finest-spiced-rum-mince-pies.html#more">Read more »</a>W Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02486878956862066217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332244323721605847.post-5619773894260757772020-12-14T18:00:00.001+00:002020-12-14T18:00:07.633+00:002020 - Mr Kipling - Deep Filled Mince Pies<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Generally Mr Kipling mince pies are exeedingly average and very little change from year to year.
