Which are the best Mince Pies?

badmumof1

ive tried them all and imho tesco basic (6 for 44p) are the best
i personally dont like too much filling and i hate the gritty old fruit that i have found in most of the well known brands including bakers

Ohhh pies I think the best ones are made with real mince and none of that fancy sweet vegetarian stuff. Then again I do just love me pies, pies, pies. i love pies me.

Buy a jar or mincemeat and some ready made pastry and make your own so much nicer and fresher

We had some last year at work and they were yummy. Think that Waitrose sell them. Very small though.

Aldi Luxury ones do it for me.

Aldi luxury ones are very nice, they are full and taste quite boozy @6 for £1.09 locally.
But the best mince pies I have tasted this year are Greggs bakers, 5 for £1.
I usually make my own from Nigellas Frangipane mince pie pastry, but can't resist a couple of Greggs when I'm passing. I've asked them for the ingredients so I could try to copy but they said that it's not possible to give that to me.

Duchy are definately the best, 2.99 for 6 so pricey but tasty!
