Where to find decent mince pies?

Hi all! Does anyone know where I can buy some decent mince pies in Zurich? I wouldn't mind some Extra Thick Double Cream either - you know, the kind laced with brandy or cognac. Any suggestions?

Not sure how good the Jelmoli ones are but I have a few boxes of some excellent hand baked mince pies from a small bakery in Wiltshire left. I'll be selling them at the Rapperswil Xmas Market this weekend.

I also have brandy butter and clotted cream

Re: Decent mince pies! Help!

Thanks for all your suggestions. Very much appreciated. I was afraid someone would say 'make your own', or 'here's a recipe'. The thing is, I'd actually like to keep them down, so baking them myself is out of the question. I know my strengths. I know my weaknesses. I'll leave it that! Thanks again!
