Is the cheese they use cream cheese rather than a Cheddar or Stilton type? That makes a huge difference. Pastry made with cream cheese is lovelyYoungBlueEyes said:Mince pies with cheesy pastry sounds vile. And I love mince pies, and eat them with cheese. How have they managed to ruin that?!

I don't know how they make them, first I heard of them was this thread.
I've not had cream cheese pastry, well not knowingly anyway, so I can't comment :shrug:"One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate change policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world's wealth." - Ottmar Edenhofer, IPCC economist, interviewed at COP160 -
No - I agree that would be much nicer. They use a combination of Cheddar, Emmental and "Italian hard cheese". Ick!Murphybear said:Is the cheese they use cream cheese rather than a Cheddar or Stilton type? That makes a huge difference. Pastry made with cream cheese is lovely1 -
Not a Christmas flavour as such, but this weekend I came across Sainsbury's sticky toffee pudding granola...Official MSE Forum Team member.Please report all problem posts to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com1

Cream cheese is quite often used in chocolate truffle recipes so presumably the cheese flavour doesn't prevail.Murphybear said:

Just seen turkey & stuffing scented candles in Aldi... reduced now
They also had Christmas pudding & brandy butter scented candles which just smell like mulled spice. Fine for the shoeboxes @ 79 pence. (Half price) actually smell rather goodBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Actually the turkey & stuffing candles smell of nothing in particular , so bought the last 2 for my shoeboxes.
The pigs in blankets scented candles were... a bit gross. Who needs a bacon scent wafting through the air??!! Left on shelf.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
