    Tesco value 6 for €2 - Dry pastry, Cheap mincemeat, 4/10
    Lidl Baked in store 37c each - Not bad, good pastry 6/10

    Let's assume the whipped cream & Heated in the oven before serving.


    AH, your reviews?

    The ones you get free with your coffee in Toughers are a special breed. If they ever need a new material for rock-drill bit tips, I reckon these could be the way to go..

    Are mince pies a British thing that made their way over or did Irish families always have them? Never had them in my house but when I lived in England they were on the table for breakfast, dinner and tea come Xmas day.

    Piemaker in galway did the most incredible mince pies I had last year. Aldi's specially selected mince pies are pretty great too : )

    Will Superquinn mince pies survive the Supervalue takeover? I hope so. Love my mince pies from Superquinn.

    Never liked mince pies, but Butler's cafe won me over. 8/10. I had one in Thunder's cafe downstairs in Clerys this afternoon and it was only gorgeous. 9/10.

    My issue with the the ones at home was that there were always too many squishy sultanas in them. Yuck.
