Top 8 mince pies TESTED

IT’S good to welcome newcomers to this year’s collection of mince pie makers.

We tried quite a few (not all) supermarket, mass-produced brands and they did not make the final eight. They are often inexpensive, but disappointing — when it comes to most foods, you get what you pay for.
