FezMonkey Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I've been eating rather a lot of them over the festive season, but have realised that although they're not bad, I don't like them THAT much.A quick review of my friends revealed that they too ate many mince pies over Christmas but not a single one REALLY liked them and it was more a force of habit.So if there's anyone out there who does, please speak up, as this issue is bothering me more than it should!-x- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MerryChristmas Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I tend to treat em like any other pie, chuck away the pastry and gobble the innards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pop-notmyface Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 i occasionaly eat them at work, but only when they are hot. mostly because mince pies is all that is left en masse because the guest don't like them.but no, mince pies aren't my favourites.but Mr. Kipplings' Bramley Apple Pie are the best!!!!!

Jeid Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 they don't even contain any mince, how misleading!I agree with pop... Mr Kipling does make exceedingly good Apple Pies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 taste like shite but i usually eat them anyway. you don't get clinically obese looking at them. /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippinoneastereggs Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 because of the seasonal nature of said dish I can never remember if i actually like them or not. I lived most my life under the assumption that I did not. However I ate one last year and my flatmate assured me I actually quite enjoyed it. So at the same exhibition this year (being an annual event) I helped myself to a mince pie.And I fucking hate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you just being polite, or am I mistaken and you just had a Cadbury's Mini Yule Log (which are AMAZING by the way)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My politeness has gone to extreme lengths in the past but it no longer extends to mince pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Temple Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Little bit of advice needed here: I am alone with one mince pie and one carton of single cream. Should I whip the cream up (I've never used a whip before) or just pour it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv tanned Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 what's even better is when you have a father who used to be a baker, and makes fresh baked puff pastry mince pies for Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
