Not everything but a big part of my grocery comes from the co-op and they usually often have a nice selection of mince pies..

Keep the recommendations coming folks.

I put on half a stone one Xmas. I blamed the mince pies

I have a great recipe. You make the pastry with lots of butter and orange juice but no sugar. The mincemeat goes in, topped with a dollop of thick cream, laced with sugar and orange peel/juice.

Amazing.
