Today's contender for the 2018 Best Christmas Mince Pie is... 

🎉  🎊  BT Sport Canteen   🎊  🎉   (  £1.50 each ...what! ) 

Pastry: Dry, very basic and the whole pie fell apart the moment I touched it. Also, I'm not certain but I think these were stored on the same shelf as their spices because it had a funk. The pastry tasted...like the reception smells...on curry day. 

Filling: Doesn't really get much better here. There's whole currents and a moist filling but it's one blurred flavour, no variety as you chomp through it...and again a bit of a weird lingering aftertaste.

Presentation: I feel like I'm really slamming some of the recent ones but this hasn't given me much to be happy about. There weren't any photo ready perfect pies to choose, they tasted a bit off and I'm not totally convinced these aren't from Poundland or something. 

Summary: Really quite bad.

In other news: Props to you Rosie the Banana cake was amazing!
