Only 6 days to go guys! Less than a week 🎄
During December, me and my friend at work have been trying out different mince pies. We work together two days so on a Monday I would bring one in and on a Thursday she would bring one in.
We got to try six different mince pies during this time, and we rated them to see which ones we preferred.
We tried the following Mince Pies:
- Aldi Specially Selected
- Gregg’s Bakery
- Sainsburys Shortcrust Bakery
- M&S Puff Pastry
- Waitrose Extra Special
- Co op Locally Sourced
• The Rankings •
We went for a few categories to score each mince pie on, these were:
- Appearance
- Overall Taste
- Pastry
- Fillage
And then we gave them an overall taste each.
