It did, but surviving the walk back from the shops lulled it into a false sense of security! Unbeknown to the choccy bar, a couple of big mugs of Yorkshire tea had its name on them ...

Can someone tell me if mince pies are supposed to be eaten only during Christmas then?
It turned out that my friend was more moderate than me but I double-checked with her before wolfing down the rest of her share ...A 135g bar of chocolate shared? Now that' what I call "moderation"!!! I'm in awe!!

Cuba is very much on the short list as I would like to see it before it all changes, and that can't be very far away. I have a lot of Caribbean work coming up so hopefully I can fill in that tick on my wish list. Yes there certainly is a bit of rivalry there as regards rum, and long memories too. When I was in Panama City I was told I could not get Captain Morgan rum (not that I wanted any) because that wasn't a very popular name there, and hadn't been for some time since the pirate trashed the place back in the 1670s!Mmm.. Cuba is a bit urgent now though, isn't? You really need to go before El Caballo is gone!! But make no mistake: I'm not a rum expert by any means.. I just listen to the "experts" and drink whatever they suggest!It looks like there's some sort of rivalry between LA countries regarding their rum, each and every one of them claiming to be the best! (same sort of thing with their salsa.. the music genre not the food!)
Do you smoke btw?
Nah, you can eat them all winter. And summer if you can get them.
No really, a spiced fruit pie is the sort of thing to be eaten over winter when fresh fruit is not available (originally they actually contained meat too, as a way of preserving that). I'm just starting to wonder when we'll get our first 'tip' box of mince pies this year.
Although I'm not convinced about the original recipe.. 
Not now, he can't.@ianrauk
..ermmm do you think you could possibly add the missing "r" in my thread title?
Perhaps just as well. What could be more gloriously irreverent than an irreverent thread with an 'r' casually missing - one we all know belongs there but couldn't care less about its absence?Not now, he can't.
But if its Galaxy then it will have that awful sickly sweet chemically taste to it, so quite frankly, it doesn't surprise me it had to be finished by more than one person.A 135g bar of chocolate shared? Now that' what I call "moderation"!!! I'm in awe!!
I quite like mince pies. They went on sale ages ago. I've already been eating them for several months. Probably got through about 10 or more boxes since summer.
This has been going on since they hit the shelves back in October. On Christmas eve I make my own, normally 36 and they don't last much longer than Boxing day.
