Lament of the mince pie!

[Ally]

Ok..we go to Mijas Costa.

Me that detests with a passion food shopping..was actually quite excited to get to Iceland.

NO MINCE PIES!!!! SOLD OUT!!!

It has been decided, that for me to get over the shock Don will be most generous with the vodka buying tonight.

[JoM]

I think copious amounts of vodka is the only answer Ally...

Can't imagine Christmas without mince pies...

Well.....I only found out 2 years ago I actually liked mince pies!

Had some for Christmas last year as I brought them back from the UK.

Vodka will help numb the pain...

If I'd known I'd have nabbed you a few last night from the meal we were at...very nice they were, and several people at our table didn't eat theirs.
They didn't go to waste...

There's a business opportunity then! Import mince pies and set up your stall as they'd sell like Hot Cakes! The 'fresh' all butter mince pies from Sainsbury's in my larder have a Use By Date of the 4th Match 2013 so no need for a freezer or fridges! If the Spanish can sell us all that Chorizo to eat then we can sell Spain mince pies?

Nobody makes a sausage like our British Bangers so even better! Back of a white van selling British Bangers, mince pies and your Christmas is paid for.

Slightly off-topic but this trend for Bad Taste Christmas Jumpers has been happening for a while now. I wish I'd bought a warehouse full of them, set up a market stall and flogged them cheap; be a sell-out.

Bring some back on your next trip to the UK and fill your freezer

God Fuji..that hotel we stayed at must have been having a bad jumper convention as there was hundreds of them!
All mentalists drinking rum and cokes at £8 a throw...

This year is the Christmas of the Onesies and Dodgy Jumpers

[tonicha]

I have never liked mince pies - there is an Iceland over here somwhere, near Almancil, I think. If my friend wasn't going to England for Christmas, she usually buys some for her English husband. I could have asked her and sent you some

Have another vodka

[Kaz]

Ally what a PITA!!! Vodka is the only answer - chuck in some cranberry juice to be seasonal and I'll join you, I love a Cosmopolitan

Fugi we bought the same mincey spies

[Fugitive]

Impeccable good taste then Kaz! I bought Mincemeat Ice-Cream too. What a combination! Such a shame for Ally that she hasn't got anything vaguely resembling mincemeat
