Nothing beats home made mince pies but it is useful to have a packet of shop ones in as a standby .

Over the years  I have found it difficult to find any that are vegan ,'new and improved' usually means the addition of butter and another brand  becomes unsuitable.

However last night I found some at Asda. 6 classic mince pies for 78 pence.

I would be pleased to know if anyone finds any other brands
