These are the best -

Is Rob right? is there a better mince pie out there? If there is I would like to know about it please!

It seems like no one on here rates mince pies of any sort, Pete! Ignoramuses!

I'm sure there may be a few new members since 2014 that like the occasional mince pie Rob!

I must try your co-op recommendation. Iv'e been trying the ones from co-op mentioned earlier in the thread,four for around £1
Jolly nice they are too!

According to that label, they are 4 shillings!!

Rob.
I like mince pies and and enjoy having some at Christmas. Then I usually buy some to freeze so we can have them later, when they seem to have disappeared from the shops.

Mince pies : NO!

Christmas cake: YES! Any thoughts on this?

I do love Christmas cake - although the homemade ones are the best. I've never tasted a shop one that's as good!

I'm not a lovely of currently things, so Christmas cake is something I just don't buy. Chocolate log, yes.

Christmas pudding!

And mince pies!

Although my niece and nephew, both American, refuse to eat Christmas pudding.

They look delicious!

Do you eat all of these only on Christmas or any other day other than Christmas?

Christmas pudding vs Christmas cake vs Stollen vs Mince Pie. Which one is the most delicious?

They can be eaten any time, but most often around Christmas. There's a superstition that you should eat one mince pie on each of the twelve days of Christmas - starting Christmas Day, to bring luck during the following year!

I like all of them - Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, mince pies and stollen - but I'm just greedy!

Lebkuchen! A German friend introduced me to it a few Christmases ago — it's delicious.

Thanks for the delicious link, Courtenay. Lebkuchen looks mouthwatering.

You recommend one Eddie and I will insist my wife buys it for 'research' asap!

Chick sometimes makes one. Otherwise we buy one from our local Marks and Spencer store. Their Christmas cakes are very good, Pete.
