Will be making some tablet and shortbread for my church‘s stall in town Christmas Fair this Sunday…thinking now that I might also make some mince pies…made a load last year and they went down a treat with the family.

Lord T is the expert on mince pies? What he says is factual. Please take note.

We had some, Tesco finest, today on the 9th tee along with some brandy!
I didn't take the brandy but munched the mince pie, it was yummy ?.

I got the Tesco Finest crumble-top ones. They're alright but I feel like I should have just got the regular ones. They had quite a few different versions. Got a pack of 12 mini-ones also, literally just one bite and they're gone.

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/279513185 - not great reviews but I like the fact that they're bite-sized since a normal mince pie is like 250 calories or something daft.

Limited market here so I have a choice of one brand and one type, so that'll the best tasting/best value pies then.. but at least they're available for a few weeks

Don't bother with that nonsense when it comes to fun food. Just have a proper sized pie and enjoy it. (don't go regular, they are poor. Always go all butter or their special ones. Much, much better)
just made my first batch of the year using Asda's ruby port and brandy filling - my god it's good.
gave my parents 6 and i had 10 left at 8.30am but the dog must've got on the counter as there are only 3 left now

We got the Harrods ones last week! Very nice to be fair, as you'd expect. ?
I saw something online that rated Aldi the best ones, so we'll go for them next.

A mere 4 for £10 in Harvey Nics in Bristol, unsurprisingly I can't tell you what they taste like.

I can recommend Aldi‘s Specially Selected All Butter Mince Tarts with Jamaican Rum, very tasty and only £1.49 for 6.

One year when we spent Christmas in Barbados, my wife took some homemade ones out to the eighth tee outside the house. They were viewed with great suspicion by the locals but considered fabulous once tasted.

My tablet and shortbread went down a treat at last Sundays Christmas Market. Though I was giving the individual little bite size pieces away from our church stall, some folks offered to buy it asking how much for a bag or box. Now my Mrs is moaning that we could do with a little bit more income…?
I’d like to think my largesse encouraged some to come to our church Carols by Candlelight later that afternoon as we were packed out…standing room only ?
Anyway…mince pie making today.

Just bought a load from the local Christmas market. I have sampled a couple. Fantastic! Almost wafer thin pastry, not like the ones I tried yesterday, and full of filling. Went down great with a glass of brandy.
