I have friends staying next week. i thought it would be nice to make some sort of festive speciality for them when they get here, and mince pies are fine (shortcrust of course), but does anyone have alternative fillings for similar small pies which would remain festive? I want some imagination to go into this, not just plain old apple or fruit pies.


Thanks any help appreciated.


Louisa.

Thanks for the recommendations. I found a recipe using Cadbury's fudge chocolate bars, broken up and placed inside shortcrust pastry casing then baked the normal way. Serving with creme fresh or clotted cream. Good shout on the cranberry Jeremy and also the chocolate orange tarts (in fact may use some Terry's chocolate orange in a few of the pastry cases).


I won't be going down the savoury route by thanks foxy and sea bag for your suggestions. And quids if only we still had an Iceland within kicking distance! And anyway, it's Christmas I want to do something different.

Oh go on Lou, let's hear it.

Thanks uncleglen and Azalea. Some good suggestions there. I have a special festive marmalade I bought recently which contains cranberries thinking about it, that could work?


Right I'll set up a new thread for it numbers as its unrelated to festive cuisine.

If you go to work.. then you are working class...


I once said that to a member of the 'Young Conservatives Lewisham'

His reply.. "I'm not working class. I'm unemployed."


You cannot be more Working Class than being unemployed... Ironically..



Foxy. Redundant..

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
