As the festive season approaches, you might already be stocking up on your favourite seasonal treats. One of our favourites here at the SDC is the classic mince pie. But, with so many options on the market, how do you know which is worth your money?

Well, that’s where member reviews come in. And, lucky for us, we knew just the man for the job!

Now, I’ll pass the reins over to member @Staffordshire Whippet.

Meet @Staffordshire Whippet

I am known to you all as @Staffordshire Whippet, having been in Facebook Gulag too many times under my official account for saying what I was actually thinking.

I am happy to report that I survived my last review about Meat Pies without upsetting either SDC or Meta, so here goes with my Christmas Mince Pies review.

This was a bigger challenge than last time due to the sheer number of entrants. We blind-taste-tested six varieties, calling in the assistance of our mate of 50+ years, Richard, who is visiting from Greater Sydney and who is verrrrrry fond of his tucker.

The three of us gave each sample a score out of 5, and our ratings for each represent a cumulative score out of 15.

I like Mr Kipling mince pies hard to get now

Agree. My mum up until she was in her early 80's still used to bake cakes etc. Also do all her own pastry for meat and potato pies etc. Loved Mince pies with icing on them.

Late Mail…..

While doing my “Getting Ready For The Cyclone” shopping today at the local Supa IGA, I found these Community Co offerings. How I missed them previously, I don’t know, but I’m happily making up lost time. These pies, at $5.00 a box, are THE BEST; daylight second. Not only are they Australian made, from real mixed fruit (like home-made), they come individually wrapped for extra freshness. I don’t care how many Greenies go nuts over the packaging; these are the Duck’s proverbials.
