Morrisons Deep Filled Mince Pies

Now I'm not a fan of shop-bought mince pies at all. You see my late grandfather was a great maker of jams and preserves and nothing I've found ever lives up to his mincemeat. Add to that the fact that bought pastry is normally downright nasty and you'll see I'm highly unlikely to like any commercial offering. However, at the last minute it was decided that we'd be hosting an early Christmas for my husband's family and I had no time to bake. I therefore had to buy so I picked up a couple of packs of Morrisons Deep Filled mince pies when I went there to do my vegetable shopping. If I'm honest I held out no hope for these. I only tend to buy veg in Morrisons ...  Read the complete review

Morrisons Carrier bags Isn't it about time Morrisons got around to clear guidlines on the new carrier bag issues. I am a loyal shopper with this store and find the recent government guidlines to phase out the polythene carrier bags issued at present free of charge a little confusing as they are still being issued alongside other bags on offer for a small charge no I personally will be going with the environmentally friendly version from now on and would like to urge others like minded people to do the same and ditch the poly bags for the sake of cleaning up the environment and saving at least a small part of the planet. Give the jobs to those who made the awful ...  Read the complete review

My mum has been buying mince pies for ages now, she goes through all the different makes and by the time she's sussed the perfect ones for Xmas day we're all sick of the things! pmsl! We went shopping the other day to Morrisons and she got a pack of 4 of their freshly baked mince pies, they are yummy and I'm proper glad she got them because they're deffo the best ones we've had so far this year. They are very deep, the last lot we had were Mr Kiplings and even though they were nice the pies were a lot smaller than these from Morrisons. The pastry is a delish buttery shortcrust pastry and the only thing that spoils the mince pies is that they look ...  Read the complete review

I have already spoken about my love for Mince Pies on Dooyoo with my review of the Mr Kipling's variety and at that time said that they were the best ones I had ever tasted that weren't home made. Well, forget that, because now I have tasted Morrison's own deep filled Mince Pies and these, in my opinion far exceed Mr Kipling's. Mine are from "The Best" range, Morrison's equivalent of Tesco's "Finest" and come in packs of 4. They cardboard panel tells you that these are "instore baked deep filled mince pies" and are described as "luxurious all butter pastry mince pies, generously filled with a delicious mincemeat containing ...  Read the complete review

******** Was just going through my folder of reviews and noticed I hadn't posted this review which I wrote over Christmas, i know it's a little out of date but I thought I'd post it up now rather than waiting till next december and forgetting to do so. ******** I am a big fan of mince pies, and have been ever since I was a child. Every year my Mum would make a couple of dozen or so mince pies as Christmas approached. I have very fond memories from when I was young, helping out, by filling the mince pies, and making a mess with the sticky mincemeat filling. Mum would put the lids on and then the trays would be put into the freezer. You ...  Read the complete review
