Default Bargain Mince Pies!!!

Today in Carrefour in La Linea we saw a pack of 6 Walkers mince pies for 9.50 Euros

Don't all rush at once.

I would never pay that much for mince pies, it is daylight robbery. Will make my own using the mincemeat that my OH made for me.

Well I like to think (though I'm out of touch) that for six mince pies that could be as low as 95c in the right supermarket-war economic climate.

In the UK!!!!

If they were giving them away free I would refuse them, mince pies are horrible!

Noooooo, tooth-rottingly sweet. If I'm going to eat that many calories I want something that at least tastes good!

It is strange how when living in Spain you really enjoy stuff and then when in the UK never eat them. We used to eat a pork pie coming back from Gibraltar, look forward to British sausages, pork with herbs/apple etc. Steak n' ale pies. Never bother now I am back in the UK

You are right! In our case it is a still-warm sausage roll or maybe a scotch egg scoffed while negotiating the La Linea roundabouts with one hand on the wheel. Hardly ever eat either in the UK.
