What have you done?

Debasement! a flouting of decency. Perversion!

Last years thread was fortuitously titled. It included the side note “And other metaphysical musings”

Here in this humble thread we can observe the corrosion of society, the strides man is taking away from truth, purity and fucking pastry. Here we see how tangled arrogance misleads and confuses, baffles and bemoans. Here, is where civilization is heading. All of this viewed through the lens of the humble mince pie. I can not stand another moment and choose to flounce from this thread before is whittles itself into a spike upon which taste itself is impaled
(And anyway Aldi Stollen is fucking ace, anyone recommend some other premium examples ?)

I bet the mince pies traditionalists only eat vanilla ice cream as well.

Whoa, none of that flavoured muck for them…

Same for the bakewell nazis.
