burp

The Riverford ones are the best I have ever eaten. And they're delivered to your door.

Looks forward to next Thursday.

I can confirm that Greggs minceys are absolutely spot on

I'm tempted to order a bunch and pass them off as home made in christmas hampers I'm doing for the family.

I can confirm that Greggs mincers are absolutely spot on

ftfy,
we all love a nice mincer,
just bought a weekend full of heston schtick for variety

Had three Greggs ones so far today. They do two packs of six for £2. I'm going to be so fat and spotty by the end of the month it's not even funny.

They are good! Mine are a little under baked so I think I'll pop the rest in the oven for a bit before consumption...

anyone tried Morrison's? 'allegedly' their brandy rating is off le scale

Ummm cheap brandy.

So I thought I'd do a bit of baking for the London Lights ride...

They're characterful rather than professional (why will you never stay on pastry lid?) but hopefully it'll be too dark / cold for people to care.

had a Pret a Manager mince pie at Terminal 5 yesterday - wasn't all that - pastry tasted undercooked.

Took the foil case off and microwaved a couple, still a mistake even after safety protocols.

^^^ Bit late I know but Katy's mince pies were ace. Much nicer than any shop bought nonsense.

Lidl. Luxury?
Fuck that. They're awful. Truly.

We were served warm mince pies at the Haven Arms. I don't recall ever eating one of these heated and I have to save it was quite nice.

They get better warm. Lift the lid off. Blob of cream/creme fraiche/ice cream/blue cheese/cow extract.

M&S all butter classic recipe - lovely - gonna have another, don't mind if I do

Let the 2013 pie-battle commence.

bring em on.

I plan to do the Festive Piehundred this year.
