THE BEST NATIONALLY AVAILABLE MINCE PIE OF 2024
COOP Irresistible, although it was a close thing this year. These taste fancier and more expensive than they are. Very good. Well done, COOP.
THE BEST "CHEAP" MINCE PIE
Holly Lane, from Aldi. Simple but tasty. The filling is the star here, and the price is good.
THE BEST NON-BOOZY MINCE PIE
Also Holly Lane!
PALM OIL?
Quite a few of this year's mince pies do not have palm oil listed in the ingredients. From best to worst score, they are: Iceland Luxury (4), Infinity Foods (4), Tesco Merry (4), Waitrose Un-Numbered (4), Morrisons The Best (4), M&S Collection (3), Lidl Deluxe (2), M&S Classic (1).
(I am told that COOP uses "sustainable" palm oil, but there is some debate over whether there is such a thing.)
So there you have it! As I noted above, my mince pie journey is not yet over, but those are my recommendations for 2024. Enjoy!
