Mince Pie Appreciation

Last christmas pud post but important.

Leftovers wrapped in foil and in the jersey pocket. BAM. You'll do the festive 500 piece of piss

I ate a mince pie today. Amazing that I've managed to last this long.

It was a 'deep fill' Sainsbo's one. I will give it a 6.5/10 - acceptable but nothing to write home about. To be honest I pretty much inhaled it, so tasting notes are a bit thin.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned leftover Christmas pud with cheese, preferably some wenlesydale type.

That sounds disgusting but also intriguing.

Waitrose all butter mince pies. I don't remember what these were like last year but I've just eaten two of them and there is an aniseedy thing going on in there, though I can't see any aniseedy ingredients in the ingredient list. WEIRD.

I hate aniseed but I would be happy to eat an entire box of these as they are delicious. Also, the sugar has made my teeth hurt.

Fruitcake + cheese. Classic combo. Very Northern though, like putting the hot poker from the fire in your pint to warm it up.

Euph?

lift the lid on a mince pie, pop a slice of stilton then replace lid, heat, and enjoy with port / porter

My mum's this year. Frangipani top, and damsons in the mincemeat were soaked in booze.

Are they better than Gregg's?

Mate.

Got the last 2 packets of mince pies from Greggs in Bromley yesterday, they said they're not making any more - stock up if you see any.

^also, just realised, that's the guy from Whiplash, right?

nah, is it?!

I tend to think of him as the guy from OZ.

Spotted today. Too early?

Sort of, but no.

Are you some sort of double yoker?

If that's Waitrose. Would

Last year the Greggs pies battered the posh pies

They were ok but not insane.

It's time.
