Mince Pie Count

[Deleted member 2014]

The ones that @becs baked and gifted to the rest of us were better.

I bet they were.
I suspect becs is a fine baker, and if you get into the Death Club, on Boxing Day, I know that becs will be taking Christmas cake, for her match day friends
I don't like Christmas cake, so I won't be there, so you can have mine.

I'm sure that @becs' Christmas cake is to die for but I'll give the grim reaper (take your pick) a miss this time.

One of the season's pleasures for me but none until Chistmas eve.

My uncle is a retired pastry chef and makes our house a hamper with cake, mince pies and shortbread every year.
Brings it round Christmas eve and I always have one (or two) with a glass of something while watching midnight mass on tv.

Had none yet but will prob end the month on about 50.

Aldi sloe gin mince tarts whilst not a pie are tremendous

Only been through about 3 boxes so far. Must try harder...

You paint a very festive picture Marrow. Enjoy.

At what stage in December will you start eating them? Sounds a lot to get through, so don't leave it too late!

Had some short crust ones from Waitrose but they were poor

Asda in store bakery ones were top of my list last year. Got 4 for £2 I think and they were bloody massive - struggle to eat more than one at a time

A month or two ago, I sampled a dozen, of Mozzas luxury mince pies, kindly recommended by @becs.
They were lovely with a cuppa.

I haven't bought any more since I told you about them. Every time I've looked longingly at them in Morrisons, the bairn has shoved me past them going "no Mam, you're supposed to be losing weight!" She is a cruel taskmaster

It's Morrisons Best Florentine mince pies in case anyone else wants to sample them. They are truly magnificent.

Bloody kids !
You'll thank her, when you eventually reach your goal.

0. One of the less desirable Xmas delicacies along with dates and the weird, fruity stuffings that my family keep trying to ruin Xmas dinner with.

Into double figures.
Had 2 packs of 4 from the supermarket 'bakery' and a couple more at the mother in laws

She's a good 'un really. I sometimes wonder who the mother is like. She got back up again to take some cough medicine just as I was going to bed last night, so she came and tucked me in

Put her in charge of picking your boyfriends - sounds like she could pick a good one for you.

Nah, she's dating a mag so I don't trust her choices
