Yesterday I had my first mince pie of the year which was an absolute beauty with lush pastry and brandy butter inside.

This got me thinking, do our community members love them as much as me?  Let me know by answering the poll  :) 

Also, tell me in the comments:  if you've had your first mince pie yet?  If you bake them? and lastly, what's your favourite mince pie accompaniment is.

    Hi @Cher_Scope,

    I have never liked them and I won’t eat them?

     :o This was not the reaction I expected.  Where are my mince pie eaters at?!  

    @janer1967 @RAwarrior What sweet treat do you prefer in the run up to Christmas then?  Panettone? Chocolate log?

    I used to make my own mincemeat, then make pastry from scratch too, tho I have also bought mincemeat. Now I'm on my own, I don't bother, nor do I any longer make a Christmas cake (have never liked Christmas pudding so never attempted that).
    I don't eat sweet food now, so altho I do like mince pies, I won't be buying any, sorry.  :/

    Mince pies in November!?  Might as well start draping tinsel over the pumpkins...  :p

    I don't mind them, but certainly can't say I love them lol.  I don't buy any until at least December though!  I also tend to buy some fondant fancies, saw an Irish Cream (Baileys) version last year which were quite nice.

    I don't enjoy them, but it does feel like a Christmas tradition to force myself to have at least one.

    Irish Cream fondant fancies @OverlyAnxious :o Now that's what I'm talking about!

    There was never any question of mince pies not winning. The people have spoken ?

    Eeew, no thank you. This includes Christmas cake and pudding. I can't stand dried fruit. I remember a time many years ago when i went to visit a relative near Christmas. They asked me if i would like a piece of cake, without asking what cake it was i just replied "yes please." Then i realised it was Christmas cake but because i didn't want to hurt their feelings i just sat and ate it....slowly. -shivers- yuck disgusting.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
