Waitrose All Butter Mince Pies
The second of our 'Re-Test' tasting today. It was interesting to see how this pie fared compared with the previous score. It did better today.
A very good score, from a very good pie.

So do Pies improve with age?
Are they manufactured to be 'ripe' for Christmas ?
Or are we just getting more addicted?
