Mince Pies

Have you had your 1st yet.
I one with a coffee after coming in from shopping, just delicious.
[plus I made a wish , as I always do when I eat the first thing of any season].

Re: Mince Pies

I have made a few gallons of mincemeat (with organic fruit steeped in rum, maybe not quite that much but it felt like it when I was chopping fruit ) and am about to make my first batch on Thursday so when my son comes to lunch he can take a tin full for my three small grandchildren who love them .

Re: Mince Pies

Oh yes, had one earlier with a cuppa and very nice, too. I could eat them all year round

Re: Mince Pies

No, we don't like them, don't like xmas pudding either.

Re: Mince Pies

I don't make my mince pies until December but I have been buying Sainsburys own make. They are delicious, usually I find shop bought Mince pies far too sweet as they put too much filling in them but these are just how I like them.

My daughter and granddaughter are visiting tomorrow morning and I was reminded not to forget the mince pies

Re: Mince Pies

I'm no good at making pastry so buy mine every year.
I see that Iceland were voted number 1 this year in the blind eating test by Good Housekeeping so have ordered 4 boxes of their 6 Luxury Mince Pies to be delivered with my Party Buffet foodstuffs during the Christmas week.

Who would have thought it! Iceland beating such as Harrods, Waitrose and other leading supermarkets.

Re: Mince Pies

My dirty little secret is that I make and eat mince pies year round, so not only have I had my first this xmas, I still haven't yet had my last one from last xmas....

Re: Mince Pies

Ive had several already lol
I buy mine from Morrisons and find theyre the best ive had..theyre flat with icing sugar on them but very tasty with a glass of baileys ....it always feels like xmas when I start eating mince pies

Re: Mince Pies

I love the ones you can get in Sainsbury's cafe for 50p with a cup of coffee. The pastry's really buttery.

Re: Mince Pies

Same here susie, don't like mince pies, I prefer a sausage roll. I will eat a tiny bit of Christmas pudding purely for tradition really, I suppose.
