Another to add this list are Morrison's baked in store mince pies. I ordered some of the puff pastry ones in our online shop but the standard ones came instead. Nearly as tall as they are wide and full to the brim with quite a strong alcohol flavour and a good mix of orange and currants/whatever non-raisans are in them. Lovely shortcrust pastry too. 11 days on the best before date as well so don't go stale after a couple of days.

I'm interested to see the video review now. I'm struggling to see what quirk of the algorithm could have let Mr. Kipling's make it to mid table.

Nostalgia.
I'm never disappointed with one or an apple pie as it's reminds me of my childhood.
A treat in our household along with a Vienetta lol

I'll grudgingly give you a Mr. Kipling Apple Pie.
If you'd said a Mr. Kipling Cherry Bakewell, I'd have been there all day and all night!

Had my first one today, Tescos, actually pretty nice but seemed a bit small.
Be interesting to see if any have downsized in an attempt to keep price rises modest

I did think while posting you may well have measured them.
Be interesting to see if there has been any shrinkage.

@Gavster Now you’ve got yourself an oversized roller skate how long before you do the rounds to start the 2023 edition?

For your consideration... Fortnum & Mason Mince Pies. Discovered them last year and they were far and away the most delicious ones I've ever tasted.

I’ve been thinking about this and would need to get some other people on board, because trying 21 different mince pies on my own was hard
