Individual ones, in the bakery. Bought some yesterday - was excellent, eating mince pies in this heat

Thought I'd mention it in case anyone's feeling especially festive. Well, it IS less than five months to Christmas now...

Ooooohhh

I do like the Sainsburys Taste the Difference Mini Mince Pies (they have the correct pastry:mincemeat ratio IMO ) and I buy them in October a couple of weeks before Christmas

Haven't tried the Waitrose ones

Are the pies shortcrust or flakey?

70 they're shortcrust. Dusted with a snowy flurry of icing sugar. And they are heavenly warm with a dollop of yellow double cream. They're not massively deep but the mincemeat is divine and anyway, in July I'll take whatever mince pies I can get
