Very Christmassy scene with the outfits and a very very important subject ! Did not know that the mince pie went back to the 1300s, so interesting. We don't get many mince pies in as I tend to eat all of the goodies that are here so still need to buy ! I love the sound of the M and S ones, I do love M and S food on the whole, but these Tesco ones are cheaper obviously at 25p a pie. Good to hear your review . I wish I had some in now ! ~ Anna ❤👍

I wish we could send you ours, we have 16 sat in the cupboard! id say they were pretty much identical. It was my first time trying a mini pie and I definitely prefer the combination of flavours to its bigger counterpart. Loved all the history and Cromwell banned them because he didn’t want something as frivolous as a mince pie to interfere with the Christmas message! id say both were almost identical me if they were to be partnered with a cream than the cheaper option is the way to go.

We enjoyed the fact you got dressed up for the review and are going to tackle some pressing issues coming up, Nick and Jill. But, as someone from the US a Mince Pie ranks right up there with the Fruit Cake! 🤣🤣Was lovely to watch the two of you doing your review though. Enjoyed it. Merry Christmas to you both and your family. Need us to send any root beer? 😁😁

I’ll take a pass on that root beer thanks Dave! 😂😂 Yes mince pies do seem to be very popular in the UK, we are not huge fans though! the fruit cake is more of a wedding status symbol than a Christmas cake. I know what we would like here in the UK and thats egg nog. I wish someone would start manufacturing it ASAP! hope you have a truly wonderful Christmas.

This was a bit different for you two but a valuable comparison. I enjoyed hearing the meaning behind the pies (13 ingredients and traditionally in the shape of the manger) - all stuff I didn't know. I also didn't know about the Trafic Light food labeling system - our food labels are very boring and black and white. I think we managed to get our hands on the Tesco ones for a couple of years and they were a delicious treat. I couldn't find them this year but found locally made ones which were pretty good as well. Great review!

Love the taste test comparison, I have been 'reviewing' mince pies since November to make sure they are suitable for Christmas not just because I am weak for mince pies, obviously😅. M&S were the ones I settled on, but despite having had a try of various ones from different supermarkets, we don't have a Tesco super close so never tried theirs. I love the idea of Advocaat with mince pies, that sounds very intriguing! If I can be bothered, I love custard with warm mince pies although that is a very rare treat and probably not something I would bother with given all the different snacks and things already around for Christmas. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year both of you, thank you for all the wonderful entertainment this year x

Oh Emily we do so love getting your comments! Please try your M&S mince pies warm with advocate after all advocate is like an alcoholic custard 😂 we have recently toy’d with the idea of stepping back from KZfaq as it requires so much work and trying to get that balance with normal life is tricky especially when there is not much reward! But we have met some wonderful people including yourself and when we get comments like yours it’s hard! Long storey short we are sticking to it but going to go about it very differently, so watch this space! Have a lovely Christmas! 🎄❤️

How fascinating - I had no idea about all those historical facts. It wasn't until I was well into my teenage years that I realised that mince pies were a Christmas tradition!! My lovely mum used to make them all year round using mincemeat my grandma had made. 😀 Different times now, I'm far too lazy haha and we generally have them when they've called to me in the Co-op 🤣😃 I do make a few once a year though at my Dads request ♥️ Lots of interesting comparisons of the two pies and proves more expensive doesn't always mean the best - Great video 🤗🤗xx

I love a Christmas mince pie but funny enough could not stand them when I was a kid, now I cannot get enough of them. The butter pastry does really make a difference but the extra cost, is annoying, so the only time we eat those is when they are on offer. The look and the box is completely immaterial to me, it's all about the taste first and price second and I make it a rule to never eat after 18.00 at night but I am going to have to break it tonight, as I need a mince pie! Loved the hats and tree, cheers Alan

thanks Alan. now thats a really interesting rule, never eating after six. we might have to try that! those 16 mince pies in our cupboard have not stopped calling out to me. id like to think that the next time we indulge will be on the big day but I can pretty much guarantee there will be none left tomorrow. both pies surprised me. they were both spot on, Tescos wins on price alone.

I love a good mince pie. I think I might go and do some more "research" myself. Our first Christmas mince pies started appearing on the shelve in August. 😂 Interestingly the cheapest supermarket mince pies are made in the UK or NZ. The Aldi ones, which won a recent taste test, are made in the Netherlands. Many of the mid-range priced pies are made here or in NZ. The cheapies start off at about $3.50, the mid-range about $6 to $8, and the more expensive are generally from bakeries and about $10+. But my own extensive testing has shown that the very cheapest supermarket brands are good enough 😂 Nice one Nick and Jill. Bit concerned about your choice of Advocat though 😂 Merry Christmas!

Well, Well, Well, what an interesting festive comparisons of mince pies. First of all I’m totally impressed by your Christmas tree and fireplace lanterns. Filming in these indoor conditions is quite difficult but you’ve certainly captured the spirit of the season. Now for the mincers, without doubt the Tesco Finest are the clear winners. Not to say that the M&S are bad but certainly just slightly behind Tesco (every little helps). Could I just say (only a personal opinion), but wouldn’t it have been nice to have some carol music to accompany this film? Take care and enjoy the build up to the big day (personally I’m dreading the whole poxy thing and can’t wait until January 31st). Bloody hate Christmas and New Year!!! Cheers a more than usual miserable Mike 😡

your not alone Mike, we are dreading the big day too. I think the holiday just serves to highlight everyone’s shortcomings, stresses and inner sadness. we think naturally to all we have lost, all we might lose and what we can’t achieve in the time possible. the run up only serves as a highlight to how flawed we all are as human beings. every year we think we will improve on the last, we never do, the best thing we can do is rejoice in the people that accept us for how we are and who we are this year. we are honoured, privileged and quite a bit overwhelmed to have you i our life’s. there are 16 mince pies here with your name on them! ♥️

In my hovel there’s no sign of Christmas or anything else resembling joy and goodwill, it’s just just total misery here and I wish for nothing less. 16 mincers are far too many for me these days (even if they do have my name on them of which I truly grateful).

hi LB we have heard they do mince meat options around the world and you can probably do them keto style but the og 🇬🇧 mince pie could not be done keto well too sweet! ❤️

my mom and aunt love mince pies. me? not so much. but i'm not really into pies in general. but damn, if i don't love a comparison video about food, so not sure how i missed this the other day. i was making predictions on which would be drier/less buttery crust based on appearance. and based on the crumbling on jilly's taste, i think i was right.🤔 but then you threw me nick with saying the tesco was buttery. 🛴❤ side note, your holiday outfits and mantel lanterns are so cute. merry xmas!

It’s strange they are an acquired taste we have a more savoury tooth than sweet so would choose a savoury pie first but like you we are not that bothered by pies! Thank you re outfits and lights! Happy Holidays Mr and Mrs Scoot 🛴🎄❤️

Wow really Anita? we have heard different things from 🇺🇸 some say they are popular others say not so maybe in different states?

It could be a regional thing? I live in Minnesota which was largely settled by Scandinavians and Germans. My heritage is Scandinavian, so we always have Norwegian and Swedish treats at Christmas. But I liked how they had fruit filling in the center, so I'll see if I can find some here. I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas as well! @@GENerationXplorers

Taste testing mince pies, it's a hard life isn't it. Dare I suggest you try some from Greggs? Warning they're addictive. I used to buy them and had to hand them out around the office to stop me eating all 6!
