Pre-Christmas Survey ....
Posted: 07 Nov 2023, 20:08
So, Mrs O and I decided it might be an idea to hold a sample tasting of one of Waitrose's range of Festive Mince Pies, as launched this week.
Purely for the purposes of research, of course ....
It was the "No.1 - 4 x Crumble Top Mince Pies with Cranberry and Orange".
"Zesty mincemeat with a dash of Valencian orange oil, tangy cranberry and a buttery crumble". Only 309 kcal each
And quite nice they were too. Bigger than yer average mince pies (they'd have to be at £2.50 a pack, and that was under a special offer) and you could definitely get the orange flavouring. The crumble top was excellent!
These results are, however, subject to confirmation - we'll be having the remaining two with tomorrow afternoon's cuppa.
