Liverpudlians will scoff more mince pies than anyone else this Christmas, research finds
SCOUSERS scoff more mince pies than anyone else, a poll shows.
Liverpudlians will typically eat 20 of them during the festive season.
It is five more than the national average of 15 — and almost twice as many as people in Southampton or Glasgow, the cities where mince pies are least popular.
The findings are from a survey of 2,000 people by mince pie maker Konditor.
Brits will munch through nearly 800 million mince pies this Christmas.
One in eight people has been eating them since October — but one in four refuse to do so before today.
Konditor’s Gerhard Jenne said: "Tucking into a mince pie is truly a sign that Christmas is on the way.
"Everyone seems to have an opinion on mince pies and comment on when we are eating the first one of the year.
"Our survey found the nation as a whole loves a mince pie and our mission is to bring people together over our cakes and mince pies to help spread that joy."
