This year we be using the same review criteria as last year with eight areas. We will be able to do a direct comparison between this years scores and last years.
The eight review criteria were set out as follows:
| Visual Presentation: |
How the Mince Pie presented itself, pie casing , pastry design, finish quality of the pie edge, etc. |
| Aroma: |
What hint did the Mince Pie give of the "treasures within". |
| Sugar Coating: |
The quantity, size and evenness of the sugar granules across the surface of the Mince Pie. |
| Size / Weight: |
The Mince Pie should be of good size, with not too much overhang. In the palm of your hand feel the weight of the Mince Pie. |
| First Impressions: |
That all important first bite. |
| Crust Thickness/Quality: |
Was the crust thick enough? Moist enough? Did it crumble? The crust should crumble when you take your first bite, but you should not end up with a lap full of crumbs. |
| Filling Quality: |
Can you tase the fruit? Was there any sense of texture? |
| Filling Quantity: |
How close to the top of the casing did the filling come? |

Why has the Sainsburys 'taste the difference' pie not been reviewed yet? it is by far the best. |
