To suggest you do this now - it might be your last chance until next year....

Eat warm mince pies with Stilton while there are still mince pies in the shops / cupboard / secret stash. So good.

Sounds gross

Oh god that nearly made me retch.

Stilton is lovely. Mince pies are hideous. The thought of the two together is heinous!

I hear you, but seriously, try it, it works (perhaps surprisingly).

Bleurgh.

The only way I can stand to force a mince pie down is if it has a tub of brandy cream on it.

Have you been eating any other strange combinations? Coal & pickled onion sandwiches?

I just can't understand mince pies.

Why?

I love mince pies. But sweet and savoury together is just wrong.

YABU - I'm on a diet

Seriously though, sounds rank - is this a craving?!?

I don't like either

This could work, blue cheese and chocolate work together - try it you will be surprised.

I'm actually disappointed I don't have any Stilton or I would have tried this!

Boak at the disgusting mouldy cheese infiltrating my mince pie!

I think that sounds amazing, why didn't I think of that! Surely lots of people have Stilton with sweet things like chutney or cranberry, mince pies are in a similar vein.

Are you pregnant OP? maybe a lump of coal on the top?

There are no more mince pies in my local Sainsburys ... they are all about hot cross buns now - for the last week.

Well Stilton and a sweet chutney or port, which is sweet, work. I have mince pies and Stilton and I might report back later.

Christmas cake and lancashire cheese do work. The sweet richness of the cake is good with the fresh salt of the cheese .

Might even try the mince pie with the stilton and a glass of port - any excuse .

Creme Egg and a lump of Cathedral City. I could rustle that up?

sparkling at Cathedral City and Creme Egg - no not pregnant! But maybe can blame the new(ish)baby for odd cravings not having yet disappeared??

Yanbu, sounds lovely!

Bakewell Tart with a Dairylea Triangle?

I haven't tries this, but think the OP might be on to something. Cheese and fruit = goooood. So, good Stilton and good mince pie should = excellent. I have no stilton left, though, and only one mince pie so I'm not seeing it happening. Remind me next year, OP?

For someone who can't bear ham and pineapple on a pizza or worse, pork and apple or raisins on a curry, this thread is a nightmare!
