Having an evening watching the cricket, drinking red wine and sampling some New Zealand mincers. Or Christmas Fruit Mince Tarts as they are often called, as a mince pie is a very different beast here. Nothing to write home about; the most traditional looking was awful, pastry tasting of margarine and an overly sweet filling. A lattice-top from a large supermarket, think Sainsburys, was better but still bland. The best was a mini from a local bakery, buttery pastry but not all-butter, tasty mince with sherry but too mushy and a poor pastry to filling ratio as all minis are. Not a good start, will get some more supermarket ones tomorrow (Sunday) and will visit some proper bakeries during the week.
