Gifted? Do you perhaps mean, "given"?
KILL! KILL! KILL!
(crosses flashheart off Xmas list)
Edit: transitive verb, apparently
Can I have his mince pie, then?
Squidlord, help yourself old chap. Vile things.
🙂
Never too early for MINS PIYS!!!!
I order to be fully appreciated, i brought the first office seasonal set of mince pies back in October! (by the time it gets to dec, everyone is sick to death of them........ 😉
Had some "homemade" brought into work last week, didn't last a day, nom nom nom 🙄

So many reasons to kill......
Never too early for mince pies
I eat them all year round.
Ate my first box weeks ago 😉
That reminds me time to make some and a charistmas pudding - I'm not confident of the Oz options.....
Though strangely enough they seem to be importing the Hesten Blumenthal Waitrose Christmas range (will check it's not last years)
I've been testing this years batch of xmas puds and mince pies for about the past 6 weeks.
All in the name of research you understand.
Waitrose are my fav at the moment.
Two at lunch today. We have a spreadsheet at work rating different brands on taste, texture, size, moistness, aroma etc. to find the best. I took in Sainsbury's fresh baked today and they are currently winning.
If anyone is in North/East Yorkshire and has a Cooplands nearby, try the brandy butter ones with a star shape on top. I live further south now so can't get them. Whilst you're at it, you could post me some 🙂
It's mid-November! Nowhere near Christmas!!!!
My neighbour has put up a Christmas tree FFS!
I would really like to kill him. 🙂
(I actually mean that)
Just had #16 & 17
FFS !
twenty-odd posts in and nobody has pointed out the lack of proper reference to extra-thick cream 🙄
Not to early to start taste testing - you need to do some research to find the best ones before stocking up for Christmas
grrr - whole month before I'll get my 1st mince pie.
been avoiding the Stollen though since September!
Not had any yet. Too early.
My neighbour put their lights up at the weekend!!
Top tip. Avoid the Heston pies. Especially with the sugar that smells of disinfectant.
The highlight of the season. Only had one so far. Must pie harder.
Mince pies are too good to be kept just for the festive season, deserve to be enjoyed all year round IMHO.
Having said that, I can't remember when I last had one, as I haven't done Christmas for a couple of years now being abroad 🙁
Cheers, Rich
Currently torpedoing my healthy eating intentions with Costa's finest. Luvvverly!
A couple of months ago, Mrs Feet spread a whole jar of mincemeat on some filo pastry and whacked it in the oven. It was quite nice, but as a type 1 diabetic, the after effects were, well, lets just say 'best hidden' from the doctor!
Just had #16 & 17
250 calories a pie! Bah Humbug!
Quite fancy a pack now though...
We tried them there Hestons Pine Sugar Jobbies from Waitrose the other week, I didn't find them to be anything special at all, in fact a bit meh.... and it took me the 4th delve into the box to find the Pine Sugar that you should sprinkle on top before eating.. didn't taste that much better after being sprinkled TBH.
But I do love them, but need a single malt to fully appreciate them.
Just finished my first box of six.....I knew I should have bought the twelve instead...
Always looking to try something new.
Which brand/pies do you guys eat?
Get some Heston ones from Waitrose! incredible.
gits.. im off to buy some now.
and a scotchegg.
and zum zoider.
bugger.
