M&S Connoisseur Recipe 6 Deep Filled Mince Pies
What an amazing Pie...

And the tasters mostly agreed that it was a good pie too.

This amazing pie scored the highest, so far, in all the categories apart from Visual Presentation and Aroma.
So it was not the Perfect Pie.... But it was ver, very good.

8 of the 12 tasters gave it their highest score so far...

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"It has to be the M&S Connoisseur Mince Pie. Yummmm"
"Wow, a cracker! Definitely the best pie this year. Got any more? - M&S?"
"The filling was too chewy for my liking."
A bit alcoholic but where's the harm in that!"
