Mince Pie Appreciation

I'm just jealous.

a colleague got a box of mince pies out in our team meeting last week - refused to have one, on account that it was still fucking October!!!

fuck me not already......

Any time, sugarplum, you're worth waiting for. :)

@Ethel This thread is the reason for my Greggs mince pie addiction!

You all need to try these, oh my god! Mince pie flavour!

First pack of Greggs mincies DONE. Still the best, NEVER4GET.

WTF user50084?????

I ate about a million of those last year. So good.

Also: last night I had mince pie ice cream from Sainsburys. A++ would eat again.

Got Simon to go and get some Greggs mince pies, they are huge! He also grabbed some Morrisons ones which are ok. I bought some Lidl ones at the weekend and they are far too sugary.

I have home-made jarred mincemeat left over from 2 years ago. Will make mince pie shortbread this weekend. Dead soon?

Delia Smith says it lasts for at least three years so you will probably survive. Unless you explode from eating all the shortbread at once, like Mr Creosote.

I'm making some this weekend, i will appreciate them so hard

See the article about the world's biggest mince pie? Metro today I think it was.

This thread has restored my faith in humanity.

Why does everyone I know despise mince pies?

Konditor and cook claim to have the best in Britain. Anyone tried?

Just found out Waitrose Essentials mince pies are vegan - so happy I could cry. This will be the best xmas in years...

I noticed that the ones in Nero are also vegan. At £1.85 each you're laughing.

need my annual mince pie fix, what's hot in 2014?

Mincemeat shortbread. Imagine a mince pie where they've not bothered rolling out the pastry and just shoved mincemeat between two blocks of it. Yeah, that.

Greggs have started stocking their mince pies again.

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

For some reason this is the funniest post I've read in 2014.

I just incapacitated myself laughing.

I made some last night, they were fucking awesome.
Totally appreciated the shit out of them.

pro tip - substitute orange juice for water in your recipe, makes the pastry shorter and festively fruity
