The pastry has a decent texture, maybe a touch too soft, but is dry and claggy, like a mouthful of dust. The filling is so lacking in flavour I had to double check that it was even there. 1.5 out of 5. #MincePieADay #MincePieFest2024

Mince Pie Fest 2024: The Bastard Kipling
I won't mince words (ha ha), these are bland, as the kids say, AF.

As you may remember (or may not - no big) I follow your Mince Pie reviews every year. It isn't the holiday season without them.
ReplyDeleteSadly, here in NYC these are the only ones I can reliably find. They are good enough as a small treat but it makes me sad that I know there are better ones out there.
My sympathies! I believe you have Aldi over there (and maybe some Tescos too?) so you may be able to find their versions.
