Custard, ffs.

Had our first from Calnan Bros Butchers this week. 75p each. Better than last year. More suet in the mincemeat, so less sweet. Well filled and quite deep.
A proper shortcrust pastry which was firm and resistant but crumbly too. Not over dusted (which has been a problem in the past.
A great Pie and one which we will happily buy many times over.

The bellwether of the mince pie, in my eyes, is the Greggs.

It’s not artisinal like some of the highly dusted wank available in emporiums in London tahn.

The Greggs pie is not delivered in a brown paper bag.

The Greggs pie is not a dishonest pie. It is an honest delicacy. Often shunned and overlooked by the working man in favour of a yum-yum, or worse, yesterday’s unsold jammy-donuts repackaged (5 for £2).

It may be only October in an un-enlightened eye, but I would posit a mince pie is not only for Christmas.
