Mince Pie Fest 2024: Tesco Finest

I honestly thought we'd found an early winner.


The pastry has a lovely texture, just the right balance between soft and firm, with a nice crumble and a light, sweet taste. The filling is full of strong fruity flavours, with some pleasant but not overpowering boozy tones. These are really, really good mince pies. The finest?

WELL.

The filling has a weird, bitter aftertaste that hangs around for minutes after the pie is eaten. It's not awful, and doesn't ruin the pies, but it is a tiny bit off-putting. 4 out of 5. #MincePieADay #MincePieFest2024


(The aftertaste is still there.)
