Mince pies for breakfast acceptable?

With brandy butter.

I think fine? Almost like toast. And the brandy butter must make it a low-gi start to the day perhaps.

Mince pies with brandy butter for breakfast every day of the year- very unhealthy. Don’t do it.

Mince pies for breakfast on a Sunday morning in Advent- yum.

Didn’t you know? In December anything goes!

Although I’m not sure I could stomach it first thing 😁

Well that's what I originally thought but Ive got Waitrose ones winking at me...saying "come on...eat us! We are much better than boring old toast!"

I know the temptation- I got myself some of the Waitrose brown butter mince pies the other day and of course some brandy butter! I’ve gone as far as hiding them at the back of my very high kitchen cupboard so I don’t get tempted. They’re just too good 🤤

Personally no but I’m not a mince pie fan and could quite happily live without them.

Not for me, thanks. If you’re talking 🎄Day, bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese will do nicely - with the added bonus of being quick and easy.

I’ve been saying “fuck it, it’s Christmas” since the end of November. So, yeah, it’s fine. It’s got fruit in it.

Mince pies, yes. Brandy butter, no. I really don’t like butter 🤮

My boxing day breakfast is always left over xmas pud warmed up with brandy butter, so no nothing wrong with a mince pie breakfast in December 😊

Its a great breakfast! My husband had chocolate for breakfast as its hanukkah so anything goes, once hanukkah ends he’ll continue eating crap until new year, surely its compulsory in december.
