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.

If you live in Bristol, you might be chuffed to know that you’re topping the list – at least of Asda pies. Asda have produced an entertaining little press release indicating which areas sell most mince pies. According to them, sales are booming, having gone up 300% compared with last year’s figures. Well, finally the world is catching on – what else can we say? Check it out for yourself: http://www.asda-press.co.uk/pressrelease/142
