to have started on the mince pies already?

[Tinykins]

Can't pass by the m and s mince pies. Have been steadily eating one or two a day with my coffee since start of November.

This really is isnt good, is it?

We have eaten one tin of Christmas chocolates so a few mince pies are ok

A few bottles of champers have gone too

I had my first one yesterday. There was a box in the kitchen at work and I tried to resist, but when the colleague sitting next to me succumbed I had to have one too. Yum.

YABU. Now you've made me crave one.

YANBU. I made a batch last Thursday to test my mincemeat because I love mince pies and today I had some lovely puff pastry ones from Tesco. Lush.

Had one yesterday, my first of the season.
It was yummy

YANBU - had two on Sunday with custard - mince pie season starts right here.

If there can be half a dozen christmas trees along a short High St in my town then YADNBU to be eating mince pies.

Well, apart from the fact that there is a box of them in my pantry that I had previously been able to ignore!!

"If there can be half a dozen christmas trees along a short High St in my town then YADNBU to be eating mince pies."

too bloody right SamJones, the scoffing starts when the advertising starts, that seems fair!!

Will prob regret it in Jan when I get on the scales though!

i adore them but try not to start till December

i have the best recipe (got from a MNer) for them with orange and almond pastry...mmmm! i also cheat and add brandy and cranberries to bought mincemeat for a homemade feel!

YANBU

I We have eaten so far-

1 large tin of Roses

half a bottle of slow gin

I love Christmas

YABVU - no mince pies until December!

YABU unless you give me one of them, warmed, with a cup of coffe or hot choc

Where's mine?
Tassisssss - recipe please, sound luvverly.

yanbu, i don't like mince pies but i've had stollen 4 times in the last week

Dh and I are actually tucking into mini mince pies at the moment. I had the oven on for dinner and needed to make use of the heat, so made a quick batch. (smile)

Yes please tassissss we MUST have the recipe!!! Pretty please??

Oh I love mincepies. I'm holding out for homemade ones (pastry snob) which I will not be making until a couple of weeks before Christmas for fear of gorging myself stupid on --them them going off.

Yes Tassissss the recipe sounds lovely, please divulge!!

Join us on the poncetastic Christmas thread in Christmas - it has to be read to be believed...

YANBU I had my first one late september, about 2 days after they first appeared on shelves. DH and I love them, eat them from about october to march! and miss them terribly over the summer months. Gosh, that makes me sound a bit odd doesn't it!

I can't stand mince pies but would fight to the death for the right of whoever wants them to eat them whenever they want them. As long as I can tuck into all the lush chocs on offer for Christmas whenever I please.

Mince pies are far too good to save just for Christmas. Lidl and Aldi have Stollen and Spekulatius (German ginger biscuits) which are just as gorgeous.

Havent read thread but I've eaten 2 mini Christmas puddings with cream already

I LOVE IT

Started a fb arguement with my sister today over my mince pies. Accused her of eating them all while babysitting for me last night.

Have Waitrose All Butter ones at the mo (on special ). They are gooooddddd (even 10m DD2 thinks so when she nabbed it out of my hand at tea break time this morning)

Hot Cross Buns will be on the shelves in January, need to get the mince pie craving in now
