The pastry has a good, firm texture, and a slightly salty taste. I'm generally not a big fan of salty flavours, but I have to say that it's not too bad here. The filling has a lovely strong citrus flavour, but it totally obliterates any other tastes, which is a bit of a shame. Still, a good effort from Iceland (not the country) and indeed an improvement on 2023's version. 4 out of 5. #MincePieADay #MincePieFest2024
Now perhaps you can tell us why mincemeat has no meat, and mince is meat.
ReplyDeleteWell, the short answer is that it used to have minced meat in it, but as you can probably imagine, it's a bit more complicated than that.
