They always have to spoil things with their lies. These aren’t luxury mince pies. They’re wee, stunted, incredibly crumbly, and poorly baked. Very tasty filling though. 2019 Pie Score: 3 Edited January 8, 2020 by mathematics 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 A good mince pie should be laden with sherry and be made with puff pastry not shortcrust. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 All Mince pies are fucking shite. This is because "mincemeat" filling is an utter abomination. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I do enjoy a Christmas Mince Pie. Nicely warmed through and maybe even a dollop of double cream. However, Mrs SL has just shown me a recipe which adds coarsely grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan to cider & apple mincemeat. That is truly an abomination. Cheese in a mince pie? I think not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
