Reviews 2008

Reviews of Mince Pies available in stores during the 2008/2009 Pie Season.

This year we want to expand the Pie reviewing process to Mince Pie fans across the world. So we have added a Downloads section where you can download you very own Pie review scoring sheets. We will still conduct reviews by independent panel of volunteer tasters, but really want to hear what you think of the pies.

The review process should be 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.

Details of the review criteria can be found here
