Mince Pies

Should these be available all year round?

I think 'yes' because I love them. The nearest year-round equivalent available locally is the infamous flies graveyard (that's fruit squares to the uninitiated)

it's illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day so all year round means the hangman's gonna be busy :lol:

 

[PaulH]

I never do anything illegal

I prefer steak pies... in fact I prefer savoury to sweet most of the time with one notable exception... Proper hot sweet Belgian waffles with hot chocolate sauce and Chantilly on :hungrig

No, because I will be a ugly, fat bloke instead of just an a ugly bloke!

Mince Pies and custard ...mmmmmm

Almost every paper's featured chef has taken a fancy to morrisons £1.19 Mince pies and rated them as the best. For example, Observer food monthly, Times etc. Shame we haven't got one nearby.

small confession: I never ate them until 3-4 years ago when I found out they were infact not mince meat but just some sweet fruity stuff as the filling.

I too am a mince pie addict. Mince pies all year round , would be a bad idea , I'd have to join something like AA (but for Mince pie's )
Agreed, mince pies and custard are delicious. I'm having some this weekend

I dont mind the things.
My mum is buying the puff pastry mince pies at the moment though.
The other year i got through loads though, when i went for one id bang it in the microwave to warm it up. Lovely.
This year i cant stand the things though.


Remember to remove the foil from the mince pie before you put it in the microwave.
Also, dont put a cereal bar in its wrapper in the microwave. It sparks. But it will unwrap itself (my excuse is i was half asleep. As for the mince pie one, i wasnt paying attention ) :lol:

I like mince pies but usually make the mistake of bingeing out on them early in December then getting bored of the things. Come Christmas Day I can't stand the sight of them. This year I haven't had any yet and we're making some on Monday, so I should be OK!

Merkur/Derby blades should do the job quite nicely.

I think I have some lying around somewhere (behind the bin, I think).

Whilst helping the other half make mince pies this year, I noticed the BBE date on jars of mince-meat is rather long... if you picked up enough now it's on sale, and could convince respective partners to bake regularly it could easily be done!
