Mince Pie Appreciation

Swirl it through some vanilla ice cream

Found a jar of mincemeat in the cupboard, gonna make me some summertime mincers

I have some from Aldi which was reduced to 9p 3-4 months back. I may do the same.

Season opener with some sainsburys units this afternoon....

No. NO!

Yeah booooi

Ooooooooh.
Interesting

No point trying to fight it!

Clocked them when doing my online shop yesterday. Almost went for it but they fucked up by waving the boggos under my nose rather than the good shit.

This is very upsetting, this thread should be locked until November

Wrong, just wrong

The purist in me says until Christmas Eve, but I'll compromise on December

The annual war of the genuine mince pie warriors and the “seasonal food” quislings is upon us once again

I'm all in - is it just the basic spec mincers or are there any varieties? Not that it matters one fuck, I'll be getting a box today regardless.

Sainsburys, South Ruislip, had a range of 4 varieties.

Just checked the website & it's showing a decent selection, this will not do my waistline any favours

Resolve to cycle 'the long way' to your local Sainsburys?

I'll tell myself I did that

Was excited to break the news but see I’m late to the chat

It's fucking September.

Well at least I have a goal now

Found myself in Sainos and was unable to resist the ttd free from minis. Might as well get it out of the way now before they become too expensive to bake.

Pastry still surprisingly good for GF, filling not as boozy as last year.

Meh. Fuck it. Mmmm, so good.

Served? Hot/cold? Alone? Plus anything?

You've set a standard with your previous reports.
[P.S. Ignore the seasonalists].

Any vegan ones on the shelves yet? I'm prepared to travel.

Cold and alone. Just as I’m feeling right now.

The first scent of mincemeat emanating from the opening box was sensational and the pie did not disappoint!
