Mince Pie Appreciation

Fucking wow. Dibs a slice if you decide to post.

.

I've just necked my last two mincers from K&C.
For the first time since I was a ten year old, I'm looking forward to Christmas.

Guess who just bought 12 coop mince pies for <£1?
This fattie right here.

Post-mince here.
Consoling myself with 'Try me for 50p' full size Soreen Chocolate malt loaves in Morrisons.
(New Year penitential confession; the only Morrisons I know is 9 miles away).

9 pies left. The luxe ones are better than the deep.

My local supermarkets seem to have got their stock levels right this Christmas, alas; not many reduced mincers about. Still have a fruitcake in the cupboard, though.

Time to kick start the hot cross bun thread...

I've no real love for hot cross buns.

As for mincers, DIY are game-changers: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/mar/13/spiced-stout-buns-dan-lepard

Yep...gonna make those....thanks

Spotted in Tesco Hertford today. For hardcore mincers only.

Can you....drink that?

'Reduced to clear' by chance? Would make a good secret santa for next year.

IV maybe.

hi

I'd savage a mince pie right now, damn you.

Morrisons 3rd September, yep, the f***ing 3rd of September!

(Apologies for Google Drive link some combination of W10 & Firefox just never seems to upload photos anymore).

I find it hard to imagine most people have completed an adequate late-summer training block to accommodate those. An early-season injury is the last thing anyone needs. AVOID until "the shit one who miraculously survives a few weeks" is voted off Strictly!

Yes - you will see a lot of folks tanning the mincers right now. But the kids in blazers with sticky crumbs round their mouths will have put themselves about 8-10 weeks back if they jump the gun.

tanning the mincers right now

😄😆😅

Sainsbury’s aren’t fucking around.

I also thought this when I was in Sainos earlier this week.

I resisted.

I had two Eccles cakes

18 month matured puddings.
Leftovers from 2016/17 rewrapped 🤔

Meanwhile this year's early offerings are probably best before mid December 18

Any vegan mince pie fans out there? This will be my first year vegan in mince pie season, what are my options?
