Mince Pie Appreciation

Ben, is it dog friendly too?

10p all over the place.
Are you sick of them yet?

Down to the last 2 Greggs pies in the DHD larder. Off on hols tomorrow and I know when I get home, mince pie season will be over > sad

Incredibly, Ms DHD arrived home this evening with a cheeky little 6-pack of Greggs mince pies - manager's special: 75p.

Still trying to comprehend why she only bought one pack.

Thank heavens, when I went down the local Greggs today, they still had a stack of Manager's Special 6-packs for 75p, so I bought enough to see me through to the end of the year.

At a Greggs-fuelled 77.5kg, with a race weight of 72kg, I'm glad it's all over until next year......

5.5kg is a lot of mince pies, fair play.

Mince pie withdrawals?
I'm sure your local Greggs can find an alternative baked good to fill the hole in all our lives.

Any suggestions?

Cronuts! (They call them Gregg's nuts..) the unholy amalgamation of donut and croissant, about a million calories of tasty.

Cronuts - fusion food at its finest. can you get fudge cronuts anywhere?

Okay im sold..

Caramel and Pecan close enough?

That's the flavour I tried, so so good.

Co-op are knocking them out for 25p for 4, the nice circular filled puff pastry ones.

I must apologise publically on this thread, I have said in the past that mince pies are the devils snot. I was wrong. I had a mince pie from Fortnum and mason...(do they have a fresh bake area) and it was amazing the fruit was moist and tasted of nice whiskey and the pastry had a real crunch to it. Now I can never go back....

Greggs have started stocking their mince pies again.

On a totally unrelated note, does anyone have any clown-size trousers for sale?

^ NICE.

That gives us approx 9 weeks to get our fill

This thread should be looked until after bonfire night.

AWWWWW YEAHHHHH.....

This is dangerous. I'm going to try and hold out till December though.

Nnnggg.. Greggs mince pies are so very good!! Must resist.

I'm having a year off, 50 last year made me feel quite bad by January.

it's on!!

I had an M&S one 2 weeks ago, was a bit meh

I'm going to have to enforce a 1 mince pie per run/ride rule on myself.

Already eaten about 8 homemade mince pies last month...

I made a mince pie crumble the other week. Do recommend. Basically an enormous mince pie with crumble mix on top, with cream.

It took what felt like a fortnight for two of us to eat it.

Actually took one night to eat it?

The consumption of my delicious mince pie crumble was not a chore, you insensitive clod!
