So... What are the best mince pies?

[DaddyCoolNippingAtYourNose]

.. and i don't mean the crappy standard ones. i mean the finest ones ever. i was always partial to tesco 'finest' and sainsbury 'taste the diff' but someone last year recommended the next step up on the posh scale to 'Duchy Originals' which i've bought but haven't tucked into yet.

which are the very very best in your opinions?

lol DC

arse

see, I can swear

Sorry got way-laid (chance'd be a fine thing) in the real world momentarily there...

I haven't had any...promise...but I have thought about mince pies a lot...in a lustful way..forgive me DaddyCool for I have sinned...

we are well known for our feistyness up north!!!
We are very friendly too!

rainbow - it's ok child. it's ok .

say a few hale marys and some other doo das and you should be ok (i'm not catholic can you tell?)

i know auntymandy, you're very friend (lol, maybe a bit too friendly!)

just kidding, just kidding

is it hale or hail marys? (not catholic either!)

... that was bad. i can't effectively take the p out of mandy anymore. i'm crushed.

True story - I was watching tv last night and smiling thinking of this thread when, during the lacoste advert (B&W, man's bare botty in it, you must have seen it?) my dh said stop having smutty thoughts... and I said I was just thinking about mince pies actually!

Yeah right! says he...

Honesty I thought was the best policy, but now he thinks I'm completely nuts when I tried to explain about it being a Mumsnet thread he just didn't seem to understand... am I alone in this??

no. i've tried to explain mn threads to dw but she just gives a weird look and says 'i don't want to hear anything about that stupid site'

lusty thoughts of mince pies? lol.

you could try to combine the two thoughts.... but if your anything like me, i'm not terribly into the whole food erotism rubbish.

Isn't it amazing that a thread on mince pies can go longer than 160!?!!? Cool achievement Daddy-oh...

i'm full of genuine pride

only problem is, i'm shadowing this discussion with my colleagues at work and unlike MN'ers, they can't escape from my constant, mundane rambling about mince pies so i'm starting to really p**s them off royally. tough i say.

I however am getting increasingly worried about your work and your clients DC, how can you add up properly and have intense conversations about mince pies all day???

i'm not really that kind of accountant but yes, my work is starting to suffer. i'm going through a bad phase right now (the wave of boredom that hits me just before christmas).

just think DC its the year end soon, or so my dh keeps reminding me!

ha ha DC!!!!
God it feels good that you made a mistake!!!
How is one too friendly prey?

did'nt mean to make you just take plenty of mince pies in to see you through

isnt the year end in April?

mince pies and brandy butter!!

Auntymandy some companies have it as end of December, dh's does so he is very busy right now

took you awhile to respond auntymandy... did it take you all that time to read the post?

back to mince pies, what about that really thick cream you get laced with booze from m&s double yummy

it's bleugh. brandy butter all the way here.

Generally it is in April though, GAM. The start of the new tax year is my birthday !
