    100% accurate portrayal of my reaction. This is beyond the call of duty. Well done @Krikkit !

    Exactly the same. I got to the pictures and thought, I hope they compiled the results in a table, I got to the table and thought, I hope they added a chart, mind blown.

    A pie chart would have been better though.

    @Krikkit, when you've recovered, can you do a playoff with the allegedly improved Mr Kipling against the winners...?

    I didn't want to get into all the brands to keep it simple, but yes I will.

    You are a true Martyr to the cause sir!
    In other news I have purchased Sainsbury's TTD Frangipane Mince Pies today purely for research purposes you understand. I couldn't see any Mr K pies anywhere

    They seem to be very patchy, the one I went in is a pretty big store (big enough for an integrated cafe and Argos), yet they didn't have a clear set of shelves dedicated to the xmas cakes etc.

    So, Mr Kipling - I've lumped it with the "standard" pies as it's fairly ordinary spec. It's also the best of that grade of pie - better bake, decent pastry etc, a solid 6/10.
