My family of five has just scarfed down 36 mince pies and two tubs of clotted cream in one sitting

[sprigatito]

I'm slightly shell-shocked 😂 I spent the morning making them and suggested we all take a little mid-afternoon break to have a couple. Half an hour later...crumbs! I suppose I had better make some more.

How many mince pies do you reckon you and yours could get through in one go? I had three. I think ds2 had 8 😳

None. We don’t like them!

What the fuck that's mental 😂 I love one heated up in the microwave for 15 seconds then with scooshy cream. The other four would maybe have two each at once but never known them to have more than one at once. They are pretty sickening.

I don't think any of us would be able to look at a mince pie again if we ate that many at once, good effort from you all 😂

Well something has to kill you. Better pastries than cancer or getting hit by a bus.

Death by mince pies does sound awfully appealing

I don't have any difficulty putting away a box of six in an evening. Without cream, though.

Mine, who is 4, ate 4.5 normal
sized ones last Saturday….

Sounds like DS2 was hungry. Next time put cheese & crackers out too? They must have been nice though.

We've lost sight of what a healthy mince pie size is😉

My own homemade ones I could eat I reckon 6 without feeling ill. Supermarket ones aren't as nice and are bigger but I could still eat three.

😱 no cream

Ds2 doesn’t like clotted cream

you need to get him seen quick, how do you think that happened?

ive Never known mince pies without clotted cream? My grandparents taught me back in the 1960s and they’d be doing it earlier

Oh, they weren't that big then? Make bigger ones next time. I don't like mince pies, but Dh and ds1 can put away 3 easily.

They must be super yummy

Er. I'm a bingy cske eater and I think 2-3 would be easy, 4-6 extreme.
If you had 3 that's an average of 8.25 each, plus a large amount of cream. I do think that's pretty excessive, and of I had made them I would be bloody annoyed 🤣. But if you are happy to get back to work and make a heap more of you want any more yourself then more power to you!

Do you have a dog OP? One with a guilty face?

Easy done.....

Can you share your recipe op?

I'm with DS1 and the clotted cream btw 😋

I can sympathise..have to confess our homemade and decorated xmas cake went in 4 days and my ds had most of it !! My dh and me had a few slices!! Thinking i will make another and ask ds to help
