I prefer my own home-made mince pies, but seeing as my oven has given up the ghost and I doubt I will get it replaced before Christmas, then Tesco's Finest it is! |

"I don’t like sweet mince pies I just don’t get the sweet mince bit, sorry it’s a no from me xx"
So good to know there is at least one other person who shares my dislike!  |

I like mince pies but I refuse to buy the ones that don't have a full top cover, the ones with stars or a snowflake cover are usually cheap and shallow filled. Marks and Spencer deep filled every time. |

All those saying their Mum's mince pies are the best - lucky you. My Mother's were like an ice-hockey puck with a bit of sweet brown in the middle. She was a lovely woman, a wonderful Mum, but a terrible cook |

"Heat up and have with ice cream!
Oh now there's an idea
You’ve never done this before? 
No, I feel like I've missed out on life. "
I think maybe you have, you must try this, almost immediately |

For those that do not like a sweet mince pie, try making some “Petit Pâté de Pezenas” Made in southern France in the town twinned with Market Drayton they are an excellent alternative. There are a few recipes online but the best I have used is Raymond Blanca version. However not suitable for vegans and vegetarians as the contain meat(normally Lamb, jogger or mutton). The flavour is wonderful. Fiddlely to get right but well worth the effort! |

Agree with those above Morrisons the best so far. Greggs ones were alright.
I like mine with Bailey's cream. Haven't had one with cream yet, I'll wait til nearer Christmas. 
...but if it's a choice that has to be made a Costa coffee and one of their mince pies
