Waitrose have mince pies

[0pheliaBalls]

Individual ones, in the bakery. Bought some yesterday - was excellent, eating mince pies in this heat

Thought I'd mention it in case anyone's feeling especially festive. Well, it IS less than five months to Christmas now...

My husband would kill me!! haha!

Ooooohhh

I do like the Sainsburys Taste the Difference Mini Mince Pies (they have the correct pastry:mincemeat ratio IMO ) and I buy them in October a couple of weeks before Christmas

Haven't tried the Waitrose ones

Are the pies shortcrust or flakey?

Nowhere near Waitrose

70 they're shortcrust. Dusted with a snowy flurry of icing sugar. And they are heavenly warm with a dollop of yellow double cream. They're not massively deep but the mincemeat is divine and anyway, in July I'll take whatever mince pies I can get

What???? The fuckers. I hope they melt.

Oh shit. Just noticed the topic.

Sorry

Ahem. As you were.

OP I love you for posting this xx

Aylesbury you are SO welcome. I'm about to have one for pudding...
