The moment I saw these on the shelves I know this was going to be a short review. So, lets not waste any more time than I have to.
Presentation - 0 / 10
Exactly the same as last year - See here.
Due to their laziness in design or not placing enough importance on the humble mince pie, they get nothing for this.
Nutritional content & Price - 2 / 10
Last year; £1 a box. This year; £1.30 a box or 2 for £2. No noticeable change and they have the audacity to charge 30p more for a single box of 6!
Negligible change in the nutrition too. 10.5g of fat, 17.8g sugar and 259 calories a pie.
Pastry - 23 / 35
Same as last year - see here
Mincemeat - 15 / 35
Same as last year - see here
Overall Satisfaction - 0 / 10
Sorry Sainsbury's, I would be more understanding if you had the perfect mince pie, but it is far from it, and so to not place any effort into improving your recipe is a heinous crime here at the Administration. (In hindsight, I could have saved more time just using last year's pictures too...)
OVERALL SCORE - 40 / 100
Look at where these fit in on our leader board.
