    :eek: i had a message this morning telling me a post i put on last night about being disapointed that portmerion pottery was made in England could come across as offencive, and anti english so if i offended anyone i am very sorry it was not against english just that you expect somthing to be made where it is named after not hundreds of miles away.
    i shall sit on the naughty step ( not to bad am sitting with HC, )

    oh please! some people are just too easily offended nowadays,

    Question peeps,

    I have become slightly addicted to mr kiplings mince pies so need a substitute.

    Is anywhere selling mincemeat ridiculously cheap?

    There must be loads out there unsold now it's January.

    I want to try that suet pastry idea out but with a mincemeat filling then roll it up n bake. Bet it would by nice with a brandy custard.


    Make your own as you have the suet :) I used to make mine even though I dont like it everyone else loved it

    Blimey. Found another corker (makes mental note to thumb through this tatty book more often...).
    Anyone ever made potato pastry?
    Ratio is basically 2 parts flour, 1 part fat, 1 part mashed potato! (add sugar for sweet pastry)

    Hmm. Interesting....

    Is mincemeat easy (and cheaper) to do yourself?

    I find dried fruit is sooooo expensive now. Even the value stuff. Would live to try it though.

    Thanks for the boot up the bum!
