Mince Pies 2021 : A New Hope

Edge of speakers, edge of cat, wanky rug, Christmas cards on top of speakers to anger people, mince pies from Lidl branded deluxe, listed as all butter; but butter is massively down the list of ingredients due to the low percentage, wanky top, mini not full size, described on the box as deep filled, maybe only filled half way up:

Was that the tiny one on the right hand side a bit further on from the butcher? They did some great work.

Yes, sadly, very old fashioned, but in a good way - they tried for 5 years to sell it as a going-concern (and it very-much was one - the main part of their business was supplying local shops, pubs and restos, and demand kept going up-and-up). The baker’s (vile, whorish, not even joking) wife scuppered it by insisting he sell-up so she could move to a more(!) rural location so she could have a horse… His (adult [s.l.]) kids didn’t help - unemployed but refused to work in the shop. Fuck knows what they’re supposed to live on, the poor cunt’s prolly driving a delivery van now, which is extra sad 'cos he was a baker by vocation, always said it was his dream job…

God, (some) people fucking suck…

Whatever happened to boils, seems like they were just a 70s fad.

I had some crackers in mi yoot - roots down to the bone, and enough pus to fill a ginster’s cheese’n’onion pasty…

Yes, used to love bursting them. Used to get them on my elbows and knees.
Remember having to put a poultice on them that was slightly hotter than the sun.Was giving a tonic from the doc as my eating was so bad. . Great days… Enjoy your tea everyone :+1:

Fuck if there is one thing that brings on the death glaze it’s thimble sized pies…This is not fun it’s fucking austerity by the back door.

Is it just me that thinks that fun size should by definition be bigger than normal?

Yes, A pie the size of sex pond would be ‘Fun.’ These little bastards do not amuse my bouche - They taunt and offend it profoundly.

Could have scooped the filling out and it would have fit on my thumb nail

Arson gets a bad rap. In truth, it’s a sort of honesty that could bring back a little critical appraisal to the world of confection outlets and factories.

I’d be tempted to send it to Gillian Mckeith for further analysis.

Here are the remains of the last three pallets-full of Tesco’s finest at a warehouse I was in last week

Maybe not quite the same (can’t remember the exact details of them) but they tasted pretty decent.

Too much claggy pastry.
Not enough filling.
Mercifully little sugar.
Weird curry undertones. Although that may have been the bowl it was in.

Overall: botulism/10

Same old thing.

Poncy mince pies are wank, always were, always will be.

Might get that put on my headstone.
