Starting things off simply, I put
forward the humble mince pie. Outside of the obvious Christmas
dinner, mince pies are the food that taste most like Christmas to me.
It's a Durrant house rule that we should hold off eating them until
December 1st, but we have been known on several occasions
to break that rule. (Except Louis, he remains stalwart).
I've found they are best enjoyed with a
tipple of advocatt on the side. (Never on top, tried that once and
never again) I've been enjoying them like this on December 1st
for many years, in fact, here's a picture I put on the blog of me
enjoying the very same combo exactly 4 years ago.
Pardon the picture
quality, looks like it was taken pre-internet. So I decided to remaster it and bring this touching post-dinner scene to 2017:
Same mug and all!
If you haven't already, treat yourself
to a pie – even you Louis! It's December 1st now so eat
as many as you like. Just as well I get my fill of them now before I
get bored of the flavour, but my fondness for them returns with a
vengeance every year.
