Aldi Classic MPs today.
Good flavour to the mincemeat. Good spice and balanced sweetness. Best filling I’ve tasted for a while.
OTOH, the pastry was rubbish. Top was firm and crumbly with good colour, but completely tasteless. Base was under cooked and soggy. One might say claggy.
2/5.

Get to the hospital quick!

Looks like it. Skinningrove side, I reckon.
Lovely on a summer day!

Like listening to music, eating a mince pie is rather about the mind set. I have been contemplating this for some time but I feel a meditative state is required to truly judge the merit and pleasure of a pie. Over on the R2R thread Guy posted a clip - I was pleased to sense the conductor at 3:20 projects precisely the right mindset for pie tasting
Ha! You beat me to it.

Not sure Dave, we have been sidetracked by clag, heated or not and peripherals like ice cream and the like. Maybe we have forgotten what is important?
