I don’t have a lot of spare time but have been doing research, as I nobly do every year, in finding out which supermarket does the best mince pies.I don’t go in for any fancy schmancy ones with added this and that at exorbitant prices.
My findings this year after very many samplings is that Sainsbury are the best.😃I will carry on the good work tho as I haven’t tried Waitrose as yet.

None , it’s November , too early

Tenko, with a name like that you surely know that life can take you prisoner at any moment, and for some, tomorrow will never come.

Sooner or later, we all reach our very last Christmas.

Please don't risk missing your very last mincepie.

^Seriously mince pies are one of the most unhealthy foods you can eat- but I do love them.^

How do you work that one out, keepingquiet?

They're not exactly healthy, but 'one of the most unhealthy'? hmm

Not healthy????

Mincepies are a superfood. Dried fruit for vitamin C and some iron and other minerals. Animal fat, for supple skin and warmth, flour and sugar for calories and energy. Sometimes nuts (protein). Plenty of fibre for an active bowel.

I just don’t care about healthy.
They are worth it.
