3. Tesco Traditional Mince Pies
For our third test, we picked up a box of standard Tesco mince pies, and unfortunately they did not stand up well agains the first two samples. They were much smaller than the other ones we had tried, but had a nicely decorated star on top, however the finish wasn't very good, and some of the lids had sunk and the filling had leaked out. When I took them out of the box the sugar hadn't adhered to the pastry very well and my worktop looked very festive by the time I had put them in the tin! The pastry was not good and went very lumpy when chewed and unfortunately I did not agree with the statement of 'Delicious Buttery Pastry'. They were well filled, however on closer inspection most of the mincemeat was made up of the sauce, and there were very few currents or other fruits that generally make up the filling.
