Mince Pie Revisionist. Hypocrisy, Cognitive Dissonance and Flaked Almonds

So Rong. Fear is the enemy.

Wrestling with a split personality can be a burden. Fortunately I leave the business end of things up to
Mr .MWS this allows me to attend to more important spiritual matters like Mince pies napping and Schumannating. The arrangement works rather well.

My fear is for your soul

Has somebody dropped a jet engine on your head recently? You are suddenly struggling with the basics thinking correctly about simple stuff like mince pies.

Really? I always took him for a progger or possibly as jazzista, but never soul…

That was exchanged a long time ago for some Goto drivers.

Anyway, embrace progress.

Progress is the process of gradually improving. That is not what’s happening. Tastes more like stinking thinking and entropy to me

:rofl: Some of the stuff you come out with is great.

You do realise he’s mostly in some kind of glue induced trance when he posts in the afternoon. It’s the makers of Evo Stik you should be thanking.

I 'm done with mince pies, all the shop ones are awful, mince is a ball ache to make and they never improve on a jam tart. With the pending National catastrophe looming I’m gonna get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames (as JM would say). Florentines for us this Christmas.

Call me a fool,call me a conformist but im prepping tonight for a batch of regular mince pies to take to some meaty friends on saturday.

They sell them in the shops you know.

That they do, (have you missed the point of the thread? )

But like most things edible, fresh ingredients, method and a bit of tlc go along way.
Saturdays batch will go some way in proving that. If not, so be it.
Supermarket mince pies are mostly a pale imitation.
Keep licking your lips claggy

Wait, what? The point of the thread is to piss and moan about life’s injustices through the lens of a humble seasonal treat. So take your ā€˜better than shop bought pies’ and ram 'em where the sun don’t shine. Not that it fucking shines anywhere else. :rage:

Bullseye !

Marks and Sparks Extra Thick Brandy Cream is now available so I no longer give a shit about how good mince pies are. All they need to do is exhibit sufficient structural integrity not to collapse under the weight of said brandy cream that I ladle onto them.

That said, Lidl’s poncy ones are quite nice…
