TRO Todd and alligator dodger Dec 2018 11:19am, 5 Dec 2018 17,847 posts	0 TRO Todd and alligator dodger Agree on the 'air pockets' thing. Disgraceful - they don't even list 'air' amongst the ingredients, always call them 'deep filled' and by God the pictures on the box don't show all the bloody air you actually get. Home made folks, you know it makes sense. Mrs TRO has demanded another batch of home made, with a slight tweak to my recipe: add about half the lemon zest, but double the finely diced apple compared to batch 1 to the base mincemeat. 2 243

TRO Todd and alligator dodger Dec 2018 3:19pm, 5 Dec 2018 17,851 posts	0 TRO Todd and alligator dodger I think we need a biggest air pocket in a mince pie comp - photos preferred :-). I've seen a few where the mincement is a think layer of brown sludge at the bottom. 0 244 - only because they're at home and I'm at work

Oranj Dec 2018 8:17pm, 5 Dec 2018 1,210 posts	0 Oranj I saw that M&S are also selling mince pies with added frangipane (I am tempted, I like that flavour - almonds are another Christmas cake marzipan feature!), so maybe the standard ones have a gap for the extra filling >:-)
Angus Clydesdale Dec 2018 8:38pm, 5 Dec 2018 14,396 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale I just bought a pack of frangipani topped pies from Lidl. Haven’t had chance to try one yet though. Still 246
