These are the FINAL positions for 2013's best mince pie as rated by
The Mince Pie Administration
We have a slight revamp in the scoring system this year, each pie is marked out of 100 points. The closer to the haloed 100 it gets the closer you are to heaven when eating one (well, I am at least!).
Points are given in various areas.
- 10 points - Presentation
- 10 points - Nutritional content & Price
- 35 points - Pastry
- 35 points - Mincemeat
- 10 points - Satisfaction level
