Mince Pie Appreciation

It's certainly not helping

Heston Blumenthal will never be accepted in the mincer scene - and here's why
Heston has put lemon curd in a mince pie - and the internet has gone into meltdown
I put crumble on top of a mince pie - and that's OK
WATCH NOW: Heston Blumental DESTROYS liberal mincer heterodoxy

Waistrose one 6 packs (lunch snack size pack) are half price for a few weeks. Heated up on top of stove (flip over onto top after 2 mins) they are pretty damn good.
Waiting for return of greggs iced jobs, I fucking hate greggs at every level but I will betray myself for those delicious iced bastards

Confession, auto(in)correct, or inevitable belt-tautening of the Season?

All of above lol

Bought some Waitrose "Christmas" mincers for my team meeting yesterday (£1.80/6). Markedly inferior to the M&S items - not recommended. But still got eaten!

I've gone in with a Kipling 6 deck as a sharpener.

poor choice

this is a thread about mince pie appreciation.

it's called the MINCER scene, not the MOANcer scene. So please get behind pie fans of all styles and boroughs to share positive pie experiences.

sorry.

off to the hhsmp thread...

Sainos bestest mini butter with brandy, banging. Also, this might be heresy but I prefer my minces cold and without any accoutrements.

The best accompaniment is a smile, a yuletide carol in my heart, and access to some semi-legal videos featuring mince pies and naked people filmed in Crewe between 2004 and 2007.

^this.

Although I am also partial to custard.

Had M&S pies the other day, the ones in the gold box. ok, but inferior to Gregg's and coop puff pastry pies that I've had so far this year.

M&S red box are banging.

First 6 deck of Gregg's mincers today. Seal is well and truly broken. Limited vegan choices out there but Gregg's are a strong entry.

Is the custard on the mincers,
or,
in the video?
Asking for a friend.

well... my original idea was custard on mincers.

coop red box last night, pretty good, pretty cheap.

Crumbled.
M&S red box in town yesterday.

Had my first Heston lemon mince pie of the year. Was good to be reunited.

Wait. Can I clarify are we using year or season to denote the eating of our pies in a time period?

Morrisons 'the Best' all-butter deep-fill; £2 for a six-deck. Good pastry, nicely spiced filling, and comes approved by the head-bangers at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Only a miser could call these deep-fill, mind; definitely merely acceptable rather than generous, so I've docked points for that. Still a solid 7.5/10.

First mince pie of the season, Greggs are still great

I had one pie from yesterday left.
I warmed it
I popped the top
I blobbed and squirted
I thought
"This will be interesting"

And it was.
A tickle of heat. A bizarre interaction of fruits and garlic and stuff.

Might not bang again. But might just to see the look of confusion if I do it in public.
