Reviews 2007

Reviews of Mince Pies available in stores during the 2007/2008 Pie Season.

Each review was conducted by an independent panel of volunteer tasters.

The review process was carried out as follows:

Reviews were conducted 'Blind' with the identity of the Mince Pie kept secret from the tasters. (Note: As tasters took it in turns to buy the pies, one taster in each review knew the pies true identity).
Reviews were conducted with pies at room temperature, usually accompanied by a nice cup of tea.
Where possible the tasters sampled the mince pies at the same time, so that age, humidity and dryness would not adversely affect the pies taste.
Each Mince Pie was given a score of 0 to 5 (0 being low) on nine different criteria (devised buy the tasters).
Each criteria was deemed to have equal weighting in calculating the Mince Pies Average Score or Total.

Reviews 2007 - Round 17 - Buxton Country Pie

Date:	29/11/2009
Pie:	Buxton Country Pie 6 Mince Pies
Cost:	£1.09
Score:	54.1%

It was another one of those 'flat' pies or 'shallow' pies. Quite good looking with plenty of sugar on top. However it was really let down by the poor quality of the filling.

Not much more I can say about it really..... and average pie.
