Okay, so as you get through some options, take your time, but vote for your best supermarket mince pie 2021. Open ended poll to follow...

No tarts, crumbles, frangipanes, it's a mince PIE, a pie that has a proper top.

Best supermarket ones I’ve tasted this year are M & S . Best overall are the ones from Truffles bakery . Lovely generous tasty filing and buttery not too thick pastry .

Worst so far has been Tesco from their fresh bakery section , barely any filing and horrible tasting thick pastry .

West is BEST
I’ve gone for Waitrose but I closely follow that with Lidl. Very close but Waitrose just pips it.

Lidl's mince pies are lovely.


Which?'s recent results from their tasting panel, were:
1. Iceland Luxury All Butter Mince Pies - 73%
Asda Extra Special Luxury Mince Pies - 73%
3. Tesco Finest Mince Pies - 72%
4. M&S Collection Mince Pies - 71%
5. Aldi Specially Selected Mince Pies and Lidl Deluxe All Butter Mince Pies - 68%
6. Waitrose No.1 All Butter Mince Pies - 68%
7. Co-op Irresistible All-butter Mince Pies and Spar Luxury All Butter Mince Pies - 66%
8. Morrisons The Best Mince Pies - 64%
9. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Mince Pies - 58%

No surprise ... M&S and Waitrose far more expensive than everyone else.

Excellent info.

Do you think I could scoff a pack of Morrisons 'The Best Mince Pies', and then claim a refund, claiming your survey as proof that they are clearly not the best?

I’ve not tried any this year as yet, if anyone is willing to provide me with samples of each one I’d be more than happy to vote…oh and some double cream would be useful

I did a blind taste test 2 Xmas ago with all the family. All the usual brands plus a local Artisan bakers and do you know what won it?

Greggs, yes Greggs mince pies. Waitrose underperformed the most.

Does Fortnum & Mason qualify as a supermarket/store?

I guess so but only to the locals who live in Piccadilly and who earn more than £250,000 a year . I read a couple of years ago that an average weeks supermarket shop there will cost £465. Presumably for a family of 4 . Makes Waitrose look a bargain I guess .
