Taste tests abound – The Independent has proclaimed the Waitrose Panettone as pud as the No 1 Best Christmas Pudding £4.99 for 454g. (Never really understood the attraction of Panettone; but I might be tempted to add this to my Ocado Christmas order). Second place was given to an organic and Fairtrade pud from The Village Bakery. This comes in at £6.99 for 450g.
You have to register to view the Custom PC site (which I find really annoying) and why a PC magazine has a review of mince pies is anyones guess. I have always favoured the Duchy Originals Mince Pies, £2.99 for six, (my first attempts at actually making some were less than successful) but Custom PC put them at a lowly 5th place.
Out on top though were the Harrods Mince Pies (£5.50 for six)
The mighty mince pies from Harrods take this year’s prize. They’re an all-round treat – big, strong-tasting and well-constructed. A box of pies costs 12 times as much as Sainsbury’s Basic pies, it isn’t hyperbole to say that Harrods’ pies are far better than that. Definitely too good to be left out for Santa Claus.
