I do love a fruity and heavily alcoholic tart at Christmas. They often come in stockings too!
We didn’t go through the great lid wars of 2018 and 2019 to have that sort of thing foisted off upon us.

A missed opportunity in butter content. A dry hump of festive food stuff
Exhibit A: The Devolved pie, the partial pie, the nearly pie. Why must I cry ?

Blame the other half, I’m partial to a puff pastry mince pie myself, preferably with a full size lid!
Guypies and a few other honourable exceptions aside, this thread is proof that god hates us and wants us to be unhappy…

F*cking hell. It even appears that those particular artisanal bakers really made an effort. Only by raging against this sort of thing can we change the world for the better. But it’ll be a long and arduous struggle.

Made mince pies yesterday, under orders. No photos because I’m too embarrassed after the other chef also covered them in icing sugar.

You know that groupie that took plaster casts of rock stars dicks? The baker here seems to have been inspired to do much the same with pasty and prolapsed anuses.

Pastry made with righteously salty butter I hope.
