Mince Pie Appreciation

Ew.

My other half makes it with the leftover mincemeat every year, it's one of the highlights of Christmas (and I love Christmas food).

Turners pies in Bognor can't be beaten

Had my first Greggs mince pie of the season last night, cheers for the heads up!

first Greggs MP of the season - seem to be sweeter than I remember?! Like enamel stripping sweet!

I've had a fair few this yuletide. I rate Sainsbury's TTD top, because of the wet, slightly stodgy pastry - yum!

And we're back. Locked in! Shout out the mince pie crews north south east and west. Ok.

Ya feel me? Don't get shook.

Let's go.

Sainsbury's deep fill. 6 for a quid. What a way to start the season. Buttery pastry and a generous, well flavoured filling. Did I taste whiskey in there as well? I'll enjoy this box and be back for more.

Safe.

Are Greggs stocking yet?

^Yule see what I did there?

They should be... might grab some today.

Also, Sainsbury’s have got banging stollen now.

I need to get off the shop-bought soft mush in tin foil shite this year.

What I want is a jar of delicious mincemeat and a roll of rich pastry, so that I can easily cook them up myself.

Not usually one for the 'fancier' versions, butSainsbury's TtD all butter ones were good. I snuck in a pack a couple of weeks ago while the missus wasn't around - though forgot to eat the last one before she got back. Got grief for having mincers in October, but that's just how I roll.

Make sure you pimp that mincemeat up - extra dried fruit soaked in booze of choice and you're golden.

I've already started. First one was a Pat Val giant, they are v.good.

I have also eaten too many Mr Kipling Icing-topped pies, very very sweet but strangely moreish.

Aldi are doing ones with sloe gin in apparently. Not tried yet (too early for me) but soon....

Mincers! Represent. Not buckling until Dec though

You guys need to wiki up and create a mince pie site for the masses.

We could set up a voting page...

Suet's time for mince pies again huh! Love this thread.

Yeah, it always gets dusted down about this time of year. Butter get ready for lots of recommendations...

DIY. Just soaking the ingredients now.

Mate you maybe should have peeled the apples but I'm not gonna judge. Selector!

I just put the sainos order away. So much dried fruit. A bottle of rum. And a bottle of maderia.
Even if it's not making the fruit for Christmas this weekend, I'm happy.

No probs FB. I've taken your name off the 'free sample', delivered-to-your door gift-wrapped list. 😀

Glad I found this.

I've advocated that if we're making new mincemeat etc, then last years remaining jar should be used today.
