let the mince pie tasting begin

Christmas at MRA PR means but one thing - mince pie tasting. This year we have already give Mr Kipling's a whirl and for mass market - they weren't bad. There was plenty of filling (a touch sweet) and the pastry was a bit crumbly. But all round - they were a nice start to the season. Yesterday's outing was M&S Lattice Butter Mince Pies. I liked the lattice topping as it wasn't all pastry. The pastry itself was fim enough to hold the filling, the lattice looked pretty - there could have been half a teaspoon more mince though. But they got the thumbs up from the office too. Beating Mr Kipling by a few yards. here's a pic.
