Of course your taste may vary!
My taste does vary!
Regardless of what the BBC says I'd place Greggs mince pies at the top of the list for taste and value but maybe not so for packaging. The product isn't boxed, because they bake them in the shop every day - yummy! Boxed mince pies are likely to have been made months ago - some before easter! yuk
