Glacé fruit and raisins soaking in amber rum . . .

Store bought mincemeat . . .

Chopped apple combined with mincemeat, the plumped raisins, and a couple of pours of Canadian whiskey . . .

For use this weekend :slightly_smiling_face:

Just noticed these in the kitchen.

I have no recollection of buying them, but there’s a very small pool of suspects from last Saturday’s shopping trip.

Pre-micturated with branded cognac it would seem :face_with_monocle:

I watched Courvoisier VS Cognac last season in Ligue 1. Terrible game. 0-0

Well, what are they like then?!

Given the schedules involved they won’t be opened until well after Christmas.

And even then if I had one I suspect that my review would be along the lines of “umm, it’s a mince pie”. I’m afraid I can’t get worked up about most food, sorry.

Good to see that someone at Waitrose is fighting back against the tide of deviancy that Heston brings with him.

True. But still traces of dusting/sprinkling, no ?

Simmons - pastry quite short, no clag here. I’ve brushed off the sugar dusting so it isn’t overly sweet on the exterior. Looks pale, but crumbles nicely in the mouth.

Inside, a bit jam like and sweet, I’d prefer more fruit.

Overall not a bad effort no Heston fuckabouts.

I think dusting with something savoury would help things along - maybe some twiglet dust?

That reminds of 2 things.
A pic of the pringle bloke from above his head, and unknown pleasures album cover.

Need to get some of those, they’re normally pretty good.

You need to smear them with marmite to achieve full cuntery…
