"Maybe Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes but his mince pies are rotten.
I have to disagree with that. Had one today and tasted nice"

I don't like them. Pastry too hard and sugary. I like the buttery pastry that melts in your mouth. |

I do admit they can be a little hard sometimes. |

"I like the Tesco finest ones
I concur with this 
I haven’t had one yet this year, I don’t allow myself that indulgence until 1st December. "
I can never resist putting in my mouth |

Every year in at work on December, a bunch of us would bring in mince pies from as many places as possible and rate them (usually get through about 30 different ones  )
Asda and M&S usually came out on top
I'll miss doing that this year. |

Tried the Asda extra special with salted caramel the other day, quite nice cold but thinking they maybe better warm with a dollop of thick cream. Looking forward to trying the black Forrest ones  |

Agreed op, Asda do make the best!
A bit of Devon custard on top of the Asda Special mince pie!
Then before you it eat to decide cold or heated in microwave? I went cold with a spoon of Nestles milk earlier Mmmmmm.  |

"I quite like the ones in the bin where they belong 
I'm with you on that, disgusting things 
Wowzers!"
Sorry dude, I think I tried the Sainsbury's ones once and spat it out after one bite. It was not good  |

The Aldi extra special ones are quite nice. But you can't beat homemade ones, still warm from the oven with some double cream...drool.
I refuse to partake until December though, so a couple of days to wait yet |

supermarket ones taste like cardboard
Tesco used to do a spiced apple or rhubarb and ginger but seems it’s one of many things not on the shelves this year
