We sampled the festive staple from every supermarket
It's that time of year again when you can't walk down a supermarket aisle without stumbling across a pile of mince pies.But it's the traditional basic mince pie that retailers tend to sell most of, especially when so many people are shopping on a budget.
The ones from Sainsbury's and M&S are wider than the others and have a top that covers the whole pie, the M&S ones featuring an open star in the centre of each pie. Aldi's and Morrisons' were a little bit more browned off than the others, giving them both a firmer top. They're all topped with granulated rather than dusting sugar, but the amount used differs with each brand too.
We all enjoyed the flavour of the Aldi pies, which come in around the cheapest of the lot, at £1.25 for a pack of six.
