WA Dec 2018 10:38pm, 23 Dec 2018 5,770 posts	0 WA Mince pie pastie?? I don't like all the fruit cake stuff either, but I'm in the minority. I had to advise a patient last week- no mince pies, no Christmas pud, no Christmas cake. All because of the pesky dried fruit. I thought at the time I wouldn't mind that directive! Sponge cake and chocolate mousse is fine for me!

BaronessBL Dec 2018 10:43pm, 23 Dec 2018 7,425 posts	0 BaronessBL No cake here either. It's not as if we are going to starve if we don't have it They'll eat what they get given and like it!! I am expecting raised eyebrows at the very least that I'm not serving the sort of Christmas Dinner (Lunch) that my mother has always served.... but..... nobody will go hungry.

DavieO. Dec 2018 12:14am, 24 Dec 2018 133 posts	0 DavieO. Lard based pies. Nothing like it. And those fruitcake things with 100 per cent sugar icing on top. That and a cup of tea after a 10k is heaven.
