“Luxury” amaretto mince pie, according to Caffè Nero.

Ok, let’s get the obvious out of the way, it’s a tart.

Pastry is actually quite good if slightly anaemic, the mince is diabetes inducingly sweet with nice chunks of peel and an adequacy of raisins. The amaretto is a mere suggestion. Not claggy,

Actually not grim, but wouldn’t have another one.

Amaretto is lovely, it has nothing to do with mince pies.

Was gonna ask if someone’s yak had sneezed on that abomination…?

WHY must people do this?! They’ll do ANYTHING but make a good mince pie!

Made in store, M&S ones aren’t too bad.
They would be a lot better without the sugar crystals on top.

Apart from these.

Apple ones also taste great

At least these are relatively honest pies; the M-word doesn’t appear on the packaging :+1:

Says “exceedingly good cakes” on the label - well they’re pies for starters you cunts, never mind the fact they’re also exceedingly average…!

Fol2 beavering away…made these this morning using Ann’s Nan’s recipe mincemeat.
She didn’t make quite enough pasty to cover them all, so had to improvise.
Overfilled delishiousness…
