Well, they certainly look nice, and they taste pretty good too. But the first thing you notice when you open the celophane wrapper is a whiff of alcohol - nice! And the first-bite test doesn't disappoint either - the pastry is soft and buttery and you can certainly taste the brandy in the mincemeat. So a resounding thumbs up from me, but my esteemed colleague Sandra is yet to try one. In fact she's definitely slacking on the mince pie testing front - I don't recall a single entry from her... but I digress, it's time for the moment of reckoning... and I reckon it deserves a 9 pie rating! Well done the co-op. Of course, this doesn't leave a lot of room for another mince pie to score higher, but unless anyone delivers us (as in the case of the lucky Test Match Special commentators) some home made mince pies, or indeed Fortnums or Harrods mince pies, I rather suspect that a maximum of 10 pie points will be sufficient!
