The Mince Pie Thread

I’m switching to Ecclefechan tarts from this moment on.

Yes, Eccles cakes are lovely. There’s a bakery on neighbouring Yell that makes them and they’re about the best I’ve tasted

Never go a long run on the bike without them :+1:

I usually buy the M&S ones now as I can’t get the Real Lancashire ones as the Co-Op have stopped stocking them :rage:

I think you need to send some down purely for research purposes :grin:

Guy, I am in your garden, it is so cold. I’m struggling with the rain and the lock on your double glazing. Do you have a spade in your shed I could use to jemmy the window? Your Chicken just pecked me. I can smell solder and baking. The wind is howling. I have climbed your Acer, your paisley PJ’s suit you. A branch just whipped me in the eye. Why must I cry?

My satin pyjama clad neighbour called this morning & said that in the small hours he’d had to see off some itinerant vagabond, dislodging him from the tree with a javelin before the rogue was set upon by Kurt, his Newfoundland. Kurt became over excited during the ensuing melee & may have exchanged DNA.with the intruder, so if that was you, I can only apologise & hope that it washes out.

Kurt wasn’t one for foreplay. Quite forward isn’t he?

It’s the hormones. He’s a pedigree breeding dog. You caught him on a bad day. He was ready to inseminate some bitches today but that’s now been postponed.

Popped into a great local café, does wonderful coffee. No mince pies. Fuck them. Hard, in the cake hole.

I trust you’ll be returning outside of trading hours with a can of petrol and a zippo lighter?

Examples must be made :fire::skull::fire:

The best out of a box so far and by quite a long way. They are really good and smell delicious! Best mince out of any I have tried regardless of origin. A nicely balanced mix of fruit, peel and cinnamon with a satisfying touch of cognac. The pastry was quite different to any other thus far too. Was really buttery and quite cakey for want of a better term. We kind of feel the pastry from yesterday’s Gails offering was more to our liking but whether they would be so well balanced with a different case would be another question… Maybe these were a bit on the large side. Definitely getting the feeling that size is important… These are the best so far from a box though and at £10.95 for 6 they bloody should be!
