To have eaten 3 mince pies..

[FishesTit]

In one day...I don't care it's 'only October' they were screaming my name so loudly!

Phwoar get in there.

You're not alone, that's why there's a crimbo Aisle in Tescos from September onwards, who buys mince pies now and puts them away until December? I had a piece of stolen for lunch

stollen and it wasn't stolen

When I buy mince pies I eat the whole packet, as no one else likes them here.

Why not, they will be past there best before date < not that I take any notice of them>

Can I have one? I have a tea here and am missing a treat.

Three? That's going it some to be fair! One fills me up but I do find them a bit of a stodgy food.

ahh, I wish I had a mince pie....

But where is the parkin? :(

Parkin's for Bonfire Night (and other times of the year too).

I got hooked on it last year and they took it away. I want parkin before all the Christmas stuff grr!

To sound less greedy they were small(ish) squat ones. Not the huge ones which are all pastry and no filling. I'm definitely feeling a bit Christmas like.

Well, you can't keep them until Christmas. They'll have gone off before then.

In fact you've cheered me up, as I was thinking today maybe I'd bought my Pepparkakor too early, but as its OK to eat mince pies I must be in the clear

I also bought wrapping paper and wrapped the presents I've already bought...wish I had a tree! Tomorrow I might go nuts and play some Christmas tunes!

They're a December-only food. Late November at the very earliest - and i'd stretch to New Years Day.

Not October.

Tomorrow I might go nuts and play some Christmas tunes!

OK, you're not unreasonable. You're crazy!

Surely Vermillion if they're a December only food the shops wouldn't sell them in October knowing they wouldn't keep. Mince pies all year I say!

Why not Fishes - we already have hot cross buns throughout the year and little Easter eggs practically all year! Eat up, I say! (I may join you.)

YABU for making me crave mince pies when it's a rainy Sunday night and I'm in my most unsexy PJs.

I now crave mince pies as well. And maybe a nice slice of Christmas cake - mmm, marzipan and icing...

YABU they are disgusting!

Parkin on the other hand...

Yes, VU. They're vile!

In my younger days I easily put away mince pies by the dozen. You go carol singing, you've got to have a mince pie and some mulled wine at every house, well, maybe a couple in every house. Soon adds up.

I nearly bought a massive pack of about 15 in Costco earlier. I'd definitely have eaten more than 3 by now, so no, totally not unreasonable
