My septic tank has just emitted a deep sigh.

Evolve.
You keep using that word. And yet it is you, ironically, who wishes to degrade the perfected archetype that is the mince pie into primordial ooze!
Shame on you sir! Boo! BOO!

Knives, Forks, chewing. How barbarically gauche. The final finishing of any food is mastication. Prior to this, the product is unfinished - it is destined for PâtÊ one way or another - resistance to this fact is simple denial.
The gob wanks food into submission so inefficiently! Consider Coffee. Would you deploy a mangled decrepit grinder and expect perfection? No Sir! it must be ground expertly by devices not requiring filings or leading to leaky gut syndrome.
Dâysee? Chewing is old hat. Man needs it about as much as nipples. Everything must PâtĂŠ .
Eaten straight from the jar. All of your dietary needs met in one delicious package. Say goodbye to old fashioned fads like cooking.
We did evolve but threw it away.

Humanity is having a nap. I will try again next year.
Technically correct for sure, after chewing it does and up with everything mushed, but ignores the fundamental that textural variation makes a massive difference to how much people enjoy most food.

On the plate you wil note x2 avec almonds and x2 without. Below (From upthread) you will note my response to John suggesting a variation will be available at âThe meeting of the mindsââŚ
If you are secretly yearning for tasting notes of the almond or cream infused pies you should speak to kitchen knife John or AAâs least esteemed Druid.
Braving the blade Mr. MWS remained Ital.
And now you are saying it was a Wednesday?!
I get it. You werenât invited to the meeting of the minds, now you struggle with a sore bot bot.
I wonder where your tasting notes are for this year? Why not focus a little on that?
Soured by his perceived rejection he can no longer hold an objective view. Any opinions must be taken with a hefty pinch of salt.

Iâm focusing on the hypocrisy of six years of puritanical mince pie posts followed by a weekend orgy of nuts and internal cream.
âIt wasnât me it was MWSâ 
âWe were forced into it at knife point.â 
Weâve done tasting notes, thatâs now boring. But watching you writhe like a maggot impaled on a hook over your pie pecadillos is infinitely interesting! Just look at the stuff youâre coming up with as a defence!

Great film
Yeah, it was a fantastic poke in the eye for the restaurant critics and their pretentious wankery.
She delivered that line beautifully.

For clarity, no pies were turned to pate at Johnâs exclusive gathering last weekend. But experimentation with clotted cream placed under a surgically removed lid did take place. I witnessed it and didnât step in so could possibly be accused of aiding & abetting. I prefer to think of it as enabling scientific research for the greater good. By such exploration we improve as a species.
