Mince Pie fest 2023: Iceland (probably?)

These came from Iceland -- the shop not the lava-imperilled country -- although you wouldn't know it from the stark Repo Man branding.

These are fairly chunky pies, at a prodigious 66mm across, and are packed with filling; these are not cases of empty air, like some pies I could mention.

The pastry is thin, but has a good firm texture. It lacks flavour but at least it doesn't taste bad. Yay? I suppose? The filling is fruity and has a nice bite to it, but there's a slightly bitter aftertaste that tends towards the unpleasant. Not awful, but "luxury" is talking them up a bit. 2.5 out of 5. #MincePieFest2023 #MincePieADay
