Mince Pies

[Foxholer]

Best eaten cold or warmed up?

The MPs? Or the Eater?!
FWIW... M&S were seriously better than others I'd tried years ago. But 'provider' works for Waitrose/John Lewis so their excellent ones are the standard these days.

I still prefer the traditional Christmas Pudding though - apart from the memories of the departed participants.

Turkey a poor mans chicken.. You are aware buying a turkey is bloody expensive usually about twice the price of a chicken the same size right... However I'd agree its an awful meat that can be so dry that id rather eat a sand covered flip flop.

As for slating mince pie's that just makes you a heathen ?

Off topic... but that makes you just as much a heathen.... Turkey is a fabulous meat if it is cooked properly. Have had M&S Turkey sarnies for lunch 3 days a week for the last two weeks, and will again this week

Some years we’ll find them while others there’s nowt to be had. So ‘best’ doesn’t come into it. If I can find any at all then I’ll be a happy bunny (none so far)

Just bought 4 of them mince pies from Sainsburys, most of my filling was in the plastic wrapper, burnt, as was Missis Ts. 4/10.
Aldi Extra specials for me.

You can see through the packaging why would you buy burnt ones.
Is that shopper error?

I guess thats why opinions are such a fabulous thing in that we all have but imo you're wrong about Turkey ?

Did you have your eye closed when you bought them Tashy, considering they come in a completely clear plastic box you'd have seen they were burnt and spilled their guts so why buy them in the first place, dunno about going Sainsburys mate but maybe you have gone specsavers first.

I just thought there was excess of mince. Most of the packs were like that. Bit into mine and it was nigh on empty. As was missis Ts.

The thing that annoys me about turkey is that you could always improve whatever turkey dish you're eating by just replacing it with chicken. Chicken is always better. In a world where chicken exists, turkey is completely redundant.
