I’ve bought mince pies today; it’s only October but what the hell. Now personally I like them naked but it has come to my attention some folk put custard on them  . What do you put on yours or do you eat them naked?  |

It's too bloody early!
Especially when the scoff by date is November something.
Anyway, they're the best! I once had three of them in a gastro pub near mine, it was snowing and they had come straight from the oven, served with clotted cream, not bad for £1.50, I thought.

"I've hear of putting cream in them but never custard. Usually eat them on their own here, might try ice cream though now i've thought about it.
Yes warm with Ice cream "
I'm looking forward to them now.  |

Tesco and other shops sell them all year round. You only really notice them now because they will display them better and have the more luxury brands in.  |

Mince pies... damn, I thought this was a thread aimed at cockneys..
As for the sweet meat filled pastry variety, I take mine as they come, straight outta the box, just as nature (or Mr Kipling) intended..
Although a dollop of extra thick brandy cream on a hot mince pie certainly does something for me..
Ooh, I can feel my arteries clogging at the thought of it..  |

"Bought some other day. Only trouble is I'm only one in house eats them so end up eating 2 or 3 at a time. Love the ones with icing on top"
Now I’ve never tried that variety where might I find those? |

I just have a bit of double cream on mine.
Look, I don't mean to brag right but I make my own. They are the only ones I like and I've managed to turn people who swore they didn't like them into lovers!! Last year I made about 250 for friends, family and school events
But it's too early!!! |

I like a flaky pastry mince pie warmed, with a blob of clotted cream.
But my absolutes favourite is my Mom’s mince pies, with shortcrust pastry and home made mincemeat. They just can’t be beaten! |

warm with ice cream, custard or just on their own- its the only decent thing about xmas and they should be available all year (although its a good thing for my waistline they aren't- could easily eat a 12 box most weeks without any effort  |

Same here!!. I don't like the mincemeat that comes in jars it's far too sweet and sickly. |

"A Greggs naked mince pie is the absolute best 
Omg I remember you buying them before the ‘threesome’
A pack of four
That day was so funny "
It was like something from a comedy sketch! Good job one of us took charge |

I eat them plain, by the box. I like the ones that have the nice flakey soft pastry the best.
