Ah the Co-Op Mince Pie. Our annual review of this pie. The Co-Op mince pie is a almost an institution, a standard, a pie to which all others should aspire to beat. As expected the Co-Op Mince Pie delivered a consistently average performance. It's a nice pie, on the small side, so you probably should eat 2. Well presented with a nice star on top, our pie had an uneven sugar coating, but at least it was granulated sugar. First impressions were good though, very soft pastry with little crunch but no crumble. Filling was fruity and sweet, and the pie was over half full. The overall experience in the mouth was sweet, but not too sweet.
