nothing counts down the days until christmas better than
regular ingestion of mince pies.
i am horror-struck to discover my traditional supplier of such festive fare has sought to 'improve' their offering.
this year 'mince pies' are off the menu, and have been
replaced by 'deluxe mince pies'.
the prefix of 'deluxe' is explained by the fact that these pies now also have cream on the inside and custard on the outside.
which means they are not mince pies any more.
i didn't buy any.
why can't people just leave things alone?
these days i increasingly find that
'luxury' is rarely a good thing.
regular, and eagle-eyed, readers of my posts will have spotted something in the image above that will have brought at least some joy to my heart. click here for a timely reminder.
