Mince Pies...yes Or No

[pastafreak]

Now that it's all over...mostly...
I'm wondering...do you love or loath them?
I ask because we get bucket-loads of them donated...and everyone seems to hate the damn things! I don't think we could pay anyone to eat them.

Can they be fed to the birds??

I could eat them all year round....along with Christmas cake and pudding, Yule log...and hot-cross buns!

You wouldn't need to pay me to eat them, I love them. However, I'm not keen on shop bought ones because the pastry is usually too thick and the mincemeat too sweet. Although I buy mincemeat, but I make my own pastry and bake mince pies. So far I've made five dozen and we have about a dozen of them left. I should say that most of them have been given to visitors ha ha - even I don't like them enough to eat 48 all on my own!

Love them pasta. What a shame .. can't you freeze them till the glut is gone? ... sure they would you know. Do you make suggestions as to the kind of things your short of?

[Elina]

'You're'

[ummmm]

I don't eat them.

We like them, homemade mincemeat and pastry too! I'll freeze leftovers for New Year's Eve when we have a crowd round.

Horses love them

I do like them but to be honest, I'm getting a bit tired of them now.

An excellent winter food for birds, full of fruit and nuts etc.

Our freezers at stuffed with excess turkeys...and there's also the numerous Christmas puddings which will get served up over the coming months. At least into the summer. Because we've been getting a lot of publicity this year,people have been exceptionally generous.
Great to know birds love them...I'll spread the word. Thank for that :-)

I think mincemeat is one of the vilest foodstuffs ever created. I don't like Christmas pudding either. Or Christmas cake. Or turkey. Damn, this is a bad time of year for my tastebuds!

[marval]

OH likes them, I can't stand them or Christmas pudding.

Yum yum!
