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..

    • Great idea! Yes, I think the SE22 curry club died a death. The restaurants were all much of a muchness at the time anyway, apart from Ganapati. Nyge and I were also recently  discussing whether people would be interested if we restarted  the Forum Drinks. They used to be fun, but I think the main organiser moved out of the area, as did some others,  and nobody else was very keen on taking it on.  Unless they are still happening covertly 🤣 If memory serves they were monthly, and in a different pub each time. It was good to be able to meet people in real life who post on the forum. I might start a separate thread at some point to see if anyone would be interested.
    • Really?! No wonder they still had so many left when we passed! What were they? How much did they want for them?! That seems an extremely strange way of enticing people into a new shop! 
    • I saw my GP at The Gardens on Wednesday, had blood tests yesterday at Tessa Jowell (not the surgery, the blood testing place)  and had a text from my GP surgery this afternoon with the results. Your experience sounds appalling.
    • Yes, The Gardens is excellent and often recommended on here!
