This site is dedicated to the appreciation of the Mince Pie.
We are on a quest to find the Ultimate Mince Pie....

This seasons's tasting has started
It's our mission to find the ultimate pie and we take our job seriously!
Though many others would quake at the task before us, we soldier on, unto the breach dear friends. Unstinting in our dedication to you, mince pie lovers, we risk wallet, teeth and waistline to bring you the very best (and worst) of this season's pies.
Last year proved to be a great year for Mince Pies with Morrisons managing to get 2 Pies in the Top 5! The Morrisons The Best 4 Instore Baked Deep Filled Mince Pies £1.59 were excellent pies and worthy winners. However the Waitrose All Butter Mince Pie came a very close second.
Is there a Mince Pie that you think is better?

 Dan Walker, writing in his Blog on the BBC web site confesses to being a Mince Pie Fan!
"Last Thursday, I was responsible for my own nourishment on the long
trip to Liverpool, so I armed myself with the travel essentials - tube
of fig rolls, six-pack of mince pies and two pints of semi-skinned -
and headed for the M6.
If you have never experienced the heady combination of mince pie and
milk, let me take this opportunity to heartily recommend it to you. My
own personal opinion is that limiting the mince pie to the festive
period is a shambolic way to treat such a culinary delight."
We agree with you Dan, Mince Pies should be avaliable all year round.

Harold, has sent us a few pictures of the Mince Pies he took with him to Israel!
He says
"I couldn't resist taking a few pies with me to Israel after seeing Tarit and Karin's pictures at Macchu Picchu. The aim was to take it to the top of Mt. Masada and get a similarly epic photo but despite planning it and taking three of them with me to the Holyland, I still managed to leave them in our room when we set off for Masada - big fail."
"Still, in order to make the best of it, I ran up to the roof of where we were staying and realised we had an excellent view of the Dome of the Rock... so I took these photos with the Dome in the back ground. It's a Sainsbury's own, iced-top mince pie - a fine pie."
Well done Harold, thanks so much for the pictures. Write Comment (1 comments) |

The Great Egg Race man, Heinz Wolff, is still alive! I didn’t follow any of his technical discussion on protons and what-not, but this is worth watching, just to see a grown up scientist playing with his food. Fab.
