A letter from
the editor.

We are a merry band of Mince Pie-oneers, tasting all of the mince pies on the market so that you don’t have to!

My name is Peter Pelosi and I am the founder of this incredibly daft enterprise.

Talking Mince started way back in 2016. Formerly called The Pelosi Mince Pie Inquiry.

When I was younger I tested Mince Pies with my Dad for a laugh. We would score them and stick them up on the fridge. He passed away back in 2013 and for a couple of years even seeing a Mince Pie upset me. But my friends and colleagues over the years have been amazing and wanted to join in on my silly little tradition.

I did it for a few years in the old format until I met Lewis Dorigo, the Mince Pie version of Richard Osman. He masterminded maintaining the historical data so we can see year on year changes, and we have grown from 6 testers to 18 this year! Our biggest ever test!

I know lots of you enjoy reading this nonsense as much as we enjoy pulling it all together.

I just want to thank everyone who has ever contributed to the mince pie testing.

It has gotten very silly and any of you who knew my Dad know he would have very much enjoyed this!
