Larder: Mince pies
What could be more Christmas than a mince pie? An emotional scarring at the hands of Eastenders? Smiling through gritted teeth, strewn with Turkey, as you suffer the company of relatives only nearly acceptable when they come bearing gifts? Close but no. And now, thanks to us, you need never suffer a mealy, under-filled pie again.
Waitrose, all butter
3 stars
£2.19
Deeply deep-filled pies, with pricetastic filling and a delicate crispy case
Mr Kipling
4 stars
£1.49
Exceedingly festive these pies certainly are. Buttery, crumbly short pastry and a sweet tangy filling
Tesco, deep-filled
2 stars
£1.19
Disappointingly shallow fill, and similarly underwhelming pastry. Big bleh
Aldi, specially selected
3 stars
£1.49
The pastry round these was a wee bit hard, but the sensationally boozy meat more than made up for it
Sainsbury’s, taste the difference
3 stars
£1.99
Not as boozy as Aldi’s boozey old boozers but still good, if a bit pricey
Netto, deep-filled luxury brandy
4 stars
£1
Solid choice at such a great price – nice, crumbly pastry and a fruity, aromatic mincemeat filling
