Debate going on in the office...
Some people do, some people just eat them because its custom but they taste awful, Some are like me who think they're the shittest things ever but like the pastry so scrape out the inside, and the rest just avoid like the plague...
Evil little shits- thank god they're only here once a year...christmas cake too (its just wedding cake with all the booze you'd drink at the reception thrown onto it).
Horrible, but what about u?

mince pies > Cake tho
*sigh*
i can handle warm mince pies with cream if there isnt much fruit in them. i quite like the pastry you see
Not all shops have nice pastry, but i recommend the asda ones, and the mini ones are just right, cos a whole big one can be a bit sickly imo
I'm not a pastry fan to start with though, so along with disliking the filling...
Me too.
Take Christmas dinner over the pies, cakes and puddings anyday!
:thumb:
Me 3...
But I dont have a sweet tooth at all.. i very rarely eat deserts or cakes or anything like that...
I'm more of a savory person.
Now that's a lot of hassle for just a little pie isn't it? :eek2:
I would much prefer a chocolate pudding out of a tin, heat it in the microwave along with a bit of custard and wham bam you've got a good dessert. No need for tiddlyfooting around with grinding bloody nutmeg and cinamon or dusting icing sugar. Flippin 'eck
nor do i plan to.
ever.
putting some thick cream and orange zest on top makes them perfect.
I love Christmas cake (again, only without peel) but I hate Christmas Pudding - it's got such a strong bitter taste... yuck.
Same as me mate.
having chocolate cake when i get married.
Errr.. because it's cheap and there is not enough (any) brandy in it. I hate all cheap food and mostly pre-made food. You don't have a clue what shite has been put into it and the tossers who are employed in the factories where these shite meals are made are the dreggs of society who simply cannot get a normal job somewhere half decent. Disgusting!!!!!!
This couple who got married at my work a while ago had 2 cakes, 1 traditional fruit cake and 1 white chocolate cake. As the staff, we got the left overs that fell off when the cake was being cut, and the white chocolate cake was fucking gorgeous! It was like coated in slabs of white chocolate! I'm definately having something like that for my wedding.
I usually have my mince pies warm with a dollop of thick cream or brandy butter.
I've gotta agree with people that you have to go for the more expensive ones, cheap ones are nasty.
i used to hate them, because i thought they had real mince in them, and i actually said to my friend one year (not that long ago either :razz: ) 'eww mince pies, why would anyone eat sweet pastry and cold meat? how can that be nice?'
so erm. now that i know they've not got real meat in them, iv tried them and i still dont like them. haha.
I love Christmas pudding swimming in double cream. Lucky for me, no one else in my family really likes it, so I get 3/4 of it!!
