Mince pie megatest 2012
I've had chance to have brief look at the current issue of CPC but couldn't see a mention of a mince pie megatest anywhere...

Will this be returning in the next issue? I'm sure many of us will be deeply saddened if this isn't the case...

It most certainly will be in the next issue - we've already done the testing, and it's the biggest mince pie megatest yet, featuring 16 pies!

We also took some pics.

The 'mincemeat' in a mince pie isn't actually meat.

Then again, I could level that claim at half the meat pies in my local supermarket.

Surely you should also include a build your own mince pie guide! CustomPC has taught me that building your own is almost always better. There is a gap in the market for Custom MincePie magazine until this happens IMO

I'm pleased to see that you've managed to drag Alex back to the table for this illustrious feature.

OMG it's here!

Either you're being quite harsh in your reviews or mince pie makers are slipping!

Just glad the winning pie is at a shop 5 minutes down the road

I'd recommend giving co-op bakery mince pies a bash, they're pretty tasty and cheap at 4 for £1.

Pastry is more puff than shortcrust but very nice.
