Mince Pie Evaluation: Round two

Here I found a packet of Mr Kipling mince pies. 8 for the price of 6, £1.89), nestled inbetween the antifreeze and flowers. The next stop was a bakery called “Euphorium”. The chap behind the counter said they did not sell mince pies. As I strode out in disgust he had the cheek to offer me an Eccles cake! Finally I came across Budgens. And bought their deep filled mince pies.
