🎉 🎊 PRET A MANGER 🎊 🎉 ( £1.40 EACH ! )
Damn this is a good mince pie.
Pastry: It's so buttery! and a new approach here with a paper case. It's a tall fella and the paper has protected the pastry well. It's got a great colour, consistency is brilliant, holds together 'OK'. Sadly though, there was a huge shower of crumbs caused by the peeling process! Not a fan.
Filling: The filling is generous, slightly bursting out but it's baked down into a set jam. Not much booze but there is a bit of a zesty tang in it's place which work great. No wait...there's the booze. It's moist, the fruit in the mix is soft and there's a nice variety of flavour all in one bite.
Presentation: There's no disputing that it's impressive, the thing looks like a frosted winter scene! It didn't separate easily, it's crumbly and I had a pretty serious case of sticky fingers! Bit of a mission to eat but it's worth it.
Summary: Sorry Greggs. You're fired!
