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.

What about the Pineapple Stasi or the Seafood Gestapo???

Vanilla’s a flavour. Chocolate’s a different flavour, ditto strawberrry, coffee, pistachio etc etc. Sometimes two flavours work well together (honey and ginger). Off the top of my head I can’t think of any ice cream that would be improved by adding marmite and cheese. But I can think of someone who would eat it anyway …

vanilla ice cream

A good vanilla ice cream is wonderful.

Here is your new car sir…
But it’s only got two wheels and they are made of Margarine…
Yes its a car with a slick twist, we call it the six wheel dream mobile…
But, but

Note the issue?

Yes, that’s exactly the same scenario.

So because you can’t comprehend it it’s wrong?

I bet you don’t like cheese scones either.

[Valvebloke]

I love cheese scones. But I don’t put jam and cream on them.

VB

[Ruprecht]

Quite so

[FatCuntTroller]

All you need.

Close the thread.

Have you tried? Or are you just assuming the result will be awful?

Mince pies are frankly fucking boring, so anything that possibly makes them more interesting has to be welcome.

@Ruprecht

Claggy and overtly sweet

Yes, proper mince pies. Amazing.

[Ruprecht]

The golden pie, warmed through to allow its exotic aromatics to perfume the room. Succulent yet not overtly sweet you place the pie in a bowel. You consider the pie, memories of childhood swirl across the mirror of the mind. A gentleman’s measure of cream rests coyly to hand. You pour the cream and salivate at the promise of pleasure. At lightening speed you take a fork and mash that little bastard to smithereens to make a glorious pate and repeat.

I haven’t tried it. But I’ve tried the tastes separately and have enough experience of tasting (I do it every day) to know what the outcome would be. I like trifle with jam sponge in it. I like kippers. I’ve never tried kipper trifle with jam sponge in it but I’ve been around long enough to know it would be nauseating.

Dude, it’s a bit early for that kind of post. This is a family forum, you know.

I definitely think you should. Please report back.

Be careful, someone may have replaced your airbags with mince pies. That would be unfortunate.
