Send them to me, I'll take them to work and they will be eaten in about 5 mins flat, by the outside staff, who need food to keep warm, or so they tell me!!

I saw the Fanny Craddock Christmas shows on the Food Network - rather entertaining, although I agree the mincemeat omelette looked vile!
I can't think of any other ways to suggest to jazz up a mince pie that what has already been suggested. I do find that warming them up makes the world of difference, and some cream, custard or brandy butter/sauce helps them go down a treat.
I enjoyed some Asda's Extra Special ones (50p) with some Rodda's Clotted Cream (11p) last night. Lovely.
Freeze them if you want them to last, or donate to the birds or work colleagues if you don't enjoy them."Does it spark joy?" - Marie Kondo

We mashed some up, baked them and served with custard so you had a kind of crumble effect. Kids ate it all bit wouldn't eat a pie!Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T
