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.

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..

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
