M & S Connoisseur Mince Pies
Cost: £2.99
Score: 71.8%

A classic looking pie, with nice star design and sugar coating.

Quite a 'Fat pie, with bunging sides, and gold case, a characteristic of M&S.
Great Aroma when opening the box. Hmmm.

My pie was only half full, so a little disappointing.

Still an excellent pie!

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"No doubt about it -it’s the M&S Connoisseur. And its still a cracking pie. Nice taste of brandy in the filling, and there's plenty of filling too."
"Somewhere suffering a mincemeat shortage?"
"A bit too alcoholic for my tastes. Looked good and a nice weight. A posh supermarket?"
"Nice pie could be more filling"
"An old favourite from Marks and Spencer"
"Lots of alcohol in this one!"

All showy, not a strong cognac flavour. Good sized fruit peices but ultimately lacking filling.
