2018 - Marks and Spencer - The Collection - 6 Mince Pies

Next up we have Marks and Spencer 'The Collection' Mince Pies - the supposedly more refined and luxurious big brother of the regular M&S mince pies.

2018 - Harrods - Spiced Salted Caramel Mince Pies

Right, mince pie lovers. We're back with a new mince pie and a slighty refined reviews. Don't worry, the same amount of decision-making is going into each mince pie review, were just going to spare you from all the detail.
We're kicking this year off with the big guns a previous year winner, Harrods.

2016 - Harrods - Christmas - Alcohol-free Cranberry and Clementine Mince Pies

Most likely my last review of the year, but time to end with a banger! Harrods are back to defend their top spot on our ultimate leader board of all time great mince pies. The mince pies are not quite the same; the addition of clementine to thier mincemeat means these need to be re-assessed.... for you of course.

2016 - Aldi - Specially Selected - Exquisite - Luxury Hand Crafted 6 Mince Pies

I've been introduced to these by a few people all of whom have raved about them. Unfortunately, my local Aldi never seems to have these in stock. I've finally managed to get hold of them. Lets see what all the hype is about. Is there something I'm really missing out on.

2016 - Pret a Manger - Mince Pie

Well... now we have a real mince pie tester on the case, lets see how they fair (with our open, comprehensive and honest reviewing process).

2016 - Waitrose 1 - 6 All Butter Mince Pies

Okay, so you can probably tell, I bought these at the same time as the previous two. Like almost all movie trilogies out there, the third one is usually the weakest of the three! I'm no believer of a self-fulfilling prophecy, so I'm not going to let that dictate this mince pie review.... or have I already done that by just by acknowledging it? .......Moving on...
