  3. What are the best #MincePies this year? For my sins I’ve only tried the standard Tesco Finest so far, normally they’re a solid bet but they felt a bit bland. Recommend me your favourite #MincePie please!

  5. If the supermarkets are going to sell them, I’m going to buy them #MincePie

  8. #WritersCoffeeClub 23/12: What Christmas treat will you enjoy while writing over the holidays?
    Coffee and a mince pie. In fact there might be one on the horizon right now…

    @3goodthings

    * easy meals - porridge for breakfast, curry and rice from leftovers for lunch

    * Managed a short walk well wrapped up and back home before I got too cold (it's a wimdy day). Rewarded myself with tea & a mince pie

    * A friend called to update me on how they're doing (they may have COVID and are feeling pretty rough). I told them they're doing the right thing by resting up, drinking plenty fluids and taking their strepsil cough sweets

  12. This year's favourite so far. They're even better than the frangipane ones which I usually honour with this important award.

    Sweet but not too sugary, the right pastry:filling ratio, fruity, and... Cognac! 😁

  13. #MorningCoffeeAlbum with #mincePie

    Pilgrimage - Wishbone Ash

    Wishbone Ash's "difficult second album", not quite living up to the promise of their eponymous debut album, a position rectified by their seminal third LP, Argus.

  15. #MorningCoffeeAlbum plus #mincePie

    The Gift - The Jam

    A feature of this album, and of so much of The Jam's music, is Bruce Foxton's immaculate bass playing.

    Knnillssonn - Harry Nilsson
    Released in 1977, this was in my wife's collection. I'm not sure if I've listened to it before.

  19. First #MincePies of the year. As always, they turned out delicious.

    The pastry recipe calls for ground almonds. Since almonds are an environmental disaster, I replaced them with cashews, which I ground myself with a pestle and mortar. Result is really good.

  20. Just tucking into the #German equivalent of a #MincePie : #Spekulatius

    However, these are #GlutenFree (from a company called #Schär) and I don't know what to think yet.

  21. Here's a tip to help you through the festive period... Mince Pie Manhattans.

    Steep some mincemeat in Bourbon for a few days. Then filter it through something (being sure not to discard the mincemeat), then make the manhattan as usual:

    40ml steeped bourbon
    20ml sweet vermouth
    dash of angostura bitters
    twist of orange (maybe zest the rim of the glass too).

    Serve in a martini glass.

    Use the steeped mincemeat to make mince pies. Trust me. You will want to do this

  23. Just saw this in a branch of Sainsbury's, one of the big supermarket chains in the UK.

    Mince pies are traditionally scoffed at Christmas... expect these expire nearly two months before Christmas!

    Why??

  25. January has arrived and we are all looking for an alternative to the festive mince pie. In 1783, William Pitt’s government was nicknamed after the temporary mince pie. Find out if this nickname was deserved👇 @GeorgianLords ow.ly/LKGV50LV0gV
