Mince Pies, YAY or GAY? The DEFINITIVE NSC poll.

[Zukey Seagull]

I hate them.

 

[OzMike]

Christmas here means very hot weather, which is bad news, but also the prospect of eating Baker's Delight mince pies.
These are the best I have ever tasted anywhere, here or there.
$8.50 a pack of 6 but yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

 

[Bognor Bystander]

De-lish ...

 

[Bold Seagull]

Oh friggin' yes please!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Every september I pop across to North Cyprus to get my jars of mincemeat so wifey can bake her fantastic mince pies for Chrimbo. She may be Turkish but she makes gorgeous mince pies. Our English friends keep wanting to make orders!

 

[The Large One]

Home-made.

Every time.

 

[Razzoo]

Yes they're great and I'm partial to Ecclefechan tarts which appear at this time of year in Sainsburys.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Have had three already today.

Can take or leave them. Quite nice with a cup of tea I suppose. Not too keen on the stale ones my Stepdad tries to palm off onto me for months after Christmas. I've given up trying to explain to him that just because Aldi flog them off at 8 packs for £3, he doesn't have to buy an hundred weight of them. The stuff that man buys. He went out to get some basic groceries a few years back, was gone for hours and came back early evening with miniature church organ from the Missionary Mart he said he was going to renovate having forgotten about the groceries entirely.

Luv `em, warm with custard or even brandy butter. Quite rich though, shouldn`t eat more than 3 or 4 in one go.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Phenoemenal cuisine.

Going to make my own this year though as at least I can try and make them a BIT healthier....

Not much, I imagine...but it's better than shop bought.

Bl00dy love em. oooooooooooooooooh mince!

 

[beorhthelm]

i like them, but happily pass on them. often seem to find eating them out of hospitality, because someone offered them. surprised so many "yums" and evangelising, i wonder how many of you eat them Jan-October??

 

[footychick]

I feel sick
Sorry

I never understood why it is called mincedmeat, does anyone know the raison for this?

"Ooooh mince"- Camp David.

Because traditionally it always contained meat, whether beef suet, beef or venison etc. along with fruit and spices.*

[Brighton Breezy]

Do people prefer them with or without icing on top?
