The Independent: The Ten Best Mince pies
How can I make a really large mince pie?
Large mince pie, exactly how big if we are talking dinner plate size or bigger!
If it is dinner plate size we would suggest that you bake the pasty case ‘blind’ for a few minutes maybe 5-10 maximum before putting in the filling & top pastry because you may get a soggy pastry bottom.
Can you tell me whether Greggs mince pies are vegetarian?
We contacted Greggs and this is what they said.
“Thank you for your enquiry regarding Greggs products that are suitable for vegetarians.
Our Mince Pies are all manufactured using vegetarian ingredients.
I hope that this information is of use to you.”
So good news for vegetarians!
Unboxing Bettys By Post
Like all good review web sites we wanted to give you the complete picture of what it’s like to try the Bettys By Post Mince Pie. So we thought you would like an ‘Unboxing’ article just to show what happens when you order from Bettys. It is important to know that the Pies you ordered turn up in a state ready to eat.
Time for a Tipple
What’s your favourite tipple to go with our celebrated pie? Sherry? Port? Tea?
Here at the Mince Pie Club, we believe pies are fab for every event and occasion. Nice with a cuppa for elevenses, great with a heady red after supper. But the ultimate drink and pie combination? We think it’s a glass of aged tawny port; with the sweet crumbling pastry and rich moist filling of a deluxe quality pie it leaves us smacking our lips for more.
Of course, if you’re going down the route of pies flavoured with booze in the first place, then that’s another question entirely.
F off the menu?
We hate to disappoint you, but despite our accolades and encouragement to bring them back again, the Gordon Ramsey Luxury Deep Filled Mince Pies won’t be returning to our tables this Christmas. Our helpful source at Gordon Ramsey Holdings Ltd stated that:
“Unfortunately we won’t be stocking these this year as the BHS range is no longer available”.
They did offer apologies for all you F-Pie fans out there and when queried further whether we might see them next year, they were “unable to tell at this point” but promised to keep us updated.
So not all hope lost then?
