Up next #mincepietests2025 Greggs' offering. Available individually for 90 of your british pence, or as a pack of 6 for 215. These are wider, but thinner than your 'standard' shop bought mince pies.
6/10 Fairytale of New York The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl. One of the most-streamed Christmas songs.

Not wanting to seem like I'm dissing Lidl.. the all butter mince pies are, for 249 of your pence definitely worth the extra spend. Size wise.. I'd say about half the size of a the 'standard'.

Mincpie testing 2025 #mincepietests2025
We start with Lidl standard mince pies from a middle adjacent aisle
Not a bad choice, but you could be better. Pretty sure they've been better in the past, just like mars bars were larger I expect.

My cat has decided to start her own youtube crafting channel.. we chatted about monetization, but we just kept coming back to dreamies. I broached opposable thumbs.. but apparently not a problem. I don't think she's thought it through tbh, but I support her anyways.
