How do you eat yours, eat one whole, bite in half or nibble around the edges until you're left with the chocolate orangy bit in the middle, yum? x None of the above. Prefer to savour treats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrundallNavy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 These are not just mince pies, these are not even M and S mince pies but Sainsburys posh ones, I shall enjoy one with a cupper later this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I will make a dozen or two and some lemon curd tarts and a cake for Boxing Day, maybe a Guinness cake with white poring sauce. If you want a less bitter cake use Mackeson instead of Guinness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 so far I have not had any mince pies, I dont particularly like them, but will have one on Christmas day if my mum makes any as the pastry is always good on her pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I won’t be buying these again. The filling is quite chunky and hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
