Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"This pie was full of filling, right up to top. Quite a fruity filling, but not very sweat. A good size and weight. But not an amazing pie."
"Filling was a little dry and lacked the full flavour of a Michelin 3-star."
"M&S - rather tasteless"
"Sainsburys Taste the Difference? Quite nice - the filling was tasty but a little dry."
"A well proportioned pie with Nice pastry."


Packaging Description
6 Brandy rich mince pies.
Really buttery pastry and sweet mincemeat laced with brandy and port - delicious, warm and comforting.

I tasted the mini version of these and was not very impressed. I thought the pastry was thick and quite salty.
