Reviews & tasting notes of mince pies in the UK
Review: These mince pies from ALDI *might* split opinion – but if you like a sweeter mince pie and ‘Baileys’ then you could be in for a treat.
Read MoreReview: There are some staples in the world of British food, Walkers Crisps, Heinz beans…and of course Mr Kiplings cakes. In Christmases gone by, the standard Mr Kipling mince pie has scored fairly reasonably with a handful of 7/10 to his name.
Read MoreReview: Guess who’s back, back again…it’s this blog, tell a friend. Enough of the fanfares, down to business – but not before saying thanks to the countless people who’ve hassled, cajoled and guilted me into reviewing mince pies again for the 2023 season.
Read MoreReview: There’s plenty of repetitive themes in the mince pie world, and if there’s a alcoholic twist to a mince pie it’s usually brandy/cognac or maybe a hint of gin. But here we have my favourite drop, a spiced rum mince pie.
Review: Amongst the many special deals and myriad toys and games in Aldi today, I spied their entry level mince pie. A very red, festive box…but what’s inside?
Review: Having recently recovered from Covid suffering nothing more than the loss of taste and smell, I find myself seriously behind on mince pie reviews.
Review: We’ve seen these before, and they’re usually really good. But I’ve just eaten a really poor Aldi mince pie (see previous review) so it’s no guarantee…
Review: Sainsbury’s have a wide range of mince pies again for 2021 but these could be the pick of the bunch. A fancy Frangipane topping – could it be top marks?
Review: A nice looking mince pie from Lyons for 2021. But wait what’s this…? The box is identical to their 2020 offering, the pies looking the same and they even cost the same. Good sign? These scored 8/10 last time.
Review: I’m not sure why they make mini mince pies? For kids? People with tiny appetites? Anyway, there’s always issues with them…despite the fact they look cute.
