Mince Pies & Other Metaphysical Musings -> 2019

The pie is a window to all mankind. Through the sweet lens men can be measured. The truth will cut the clagg.

Bread Ahead:

Fuck Brexit! A cost no object pie with proper ingredients and no expense spared. These are big and heavy! One is almost too much, oh wait…
The mince is firm, nutty and obviously made months ago, possibly needing a bit more spice and or alcohol but very nicely balanced with itself and the pastry. The pastry was properly cooked and with a bit of bite. It was short with no dusting, just a bit of a sugary glaze. No clag. Didn’t need any cream, or any other shit. Very good.

A very satisfying pie, with a home made quality and at £2.50 each they should be!
I actually dont feel ripped off at that price. They were twice normal size.

Fantastic - These bastards look lovely. So nice in fact I am only mildly miffed by the twig tea. Venom however erupts as these cunts don’t do mail order… How very narrow

They were very good. Bloody massive though! Two split three ways is difficult, although these could probably have been sliced accurately with a suitable knife, without falling to pieces. Maybe they are too big…

I have just been looking through last year’s thread and I couldn’t find Bread Ahead pies, so these were the first time we have had them here. They are very good and the antithesis of the gammon affected boxed shit on the supermarket shelves. I have decided that I am not going to eat any of that box of disappointment crap this year. If looks like it needs warming and some sort of cream to make it bearable it’s not for me. :triumph:

Not bad but needs more of the accoutrements of tailoring in the background. Scissors, thimble, tape measure, chalk. You know the drill. Try harder.

That looks more like a mincemeat muffin to me! :joy: No wonder it was expensive. Needs ice cream :+1:

Ice cream. FFS. Ban please.

hmmm mince pie souffle

Had another tonight as the tastebuds are now working. I think you’re doing these a bit of a disservice. I don’t think I’ve had a better supermarket pie than these.

Some men gather in the woods to primally scream. Others beat drums on starlit nights. Meat men eat pies and let it all out - Therapeutic non?

Had another today. My palette must be returning or they are extremely variable.
The over riding flavour is citrus. Too much citrus.
However, it does retain their 2/5 rating.

Taste is a strange thing. You clearly have none :roll_eyes:

‘Tis quite likely they vary to such an extent that you found some which we decent :unamused:

What devilry is this?
