how many mince pies have we eaten yet?

[orangecake]

I have just finished off my third this week

not bad either considering they are fom ASDA!

None, because they are foul (yes, I know I'm weird - don't like Christmas cake or pudding either)

third pie? or third packet? I cant STAND them... but DH had some about 2 weeks ago

I think they are 'orrible as well! Christmas pudding awful, and Christmas cake not much better.

I think serenity and I are in the minority though.

I am one of the few who likes brussel sprouts (just to add to my weirdness)

Ive not had any yet but thats because once i start eating them i want them everyday.I will make my own soon.
Just made christmas shape biscuits with DD's while listening to christmas songs!

and me! I dont like mince pies, christmas cake, or pudding (I do peal off the icing and marzipan though )

my third pie quootie! (not packet)

I love christmas pudding but not so keen on the cake.

brussel sprouts are also a favourite, we eat them whenever they are in season (they are lovely roasted btw)

I bought some brussel sprouts this morning from the market. I like them par-boiled then pan fried in butter with chestnuts. Mmmm. Have even converted my dp to them.

I find Brussel Sprouts too bitter, but it might have been the cack way my family cooked them. I'd be willing to give them a go if someone can suggest a tastier cooking method than boiling. can you eat them raw? Cabbage is vile cooked, but nice raw.

My Mam made a batch last week so had to have a few(read6 ) and there was tasters in M&S yesterday as well.I don't like Xmas cake or pud though.

have made bout 60so far and have consumed bout 3 maybe 4. i enjoy making them but dont really eat them.

bought a pack in costco yesterday - they are huge and absolutely gorgeous. we were going to freeze them but demolished them quite quickly

My parents are conductinga MASSIVE experiment and tasting every brand they can find in an attempt to find the perfect ones for Christmas. Bizarre, but I think they're enjoying it LOL! Not sure why not making their own- they make all their own bread funnily wenough- but no, it has to tbe the annual taste experiment.

But my aprents adore Christmas; Dad has sprouts as his all time favourite food, and they take it very seriously, in a novelty ear rings and singing Christmas tree sort of way.

2 free samples of mince pies in BHS and Asda But ds very happy to be given free cake when out shopping!

aw peachyclaire i think that's nice - your parents sound fun

you must report back their findings

One, today, home made by sister's MIL.

I love the puff pastry ones but am staying off them until December as I'm meant to be losing weight.

none yet - I love them so much - usually make my own and oncce I start I can't stop so the later teh start the fewer I consume - I hope!!!!

YUK...absolultey none.

Disgusting things.

Serenity, I'm with you on the christmas cake and pudding thing too...YUK YUK YUK. If you're weird then I am too

I have had one from Asda's range that someone bought in to work - I wonr in a dept where everyone is at least 15 years older than me and where as I am happy with a doughnut and can of pepsi they like mince pies and cups of tea.

Not really a mince pie fan but it was quite nice - not a jam doughnut - but nice all the same!
