Mince Pies, yay or nay Options

[Hobbes]

Christmas is just around the corner, so it gives me a valid excuse to enjoy my most favourite treat of the season: the mince pie! Of all the countless goodies that Christmas brings to our mouths, I find the mince pie irresistible.

However, I have discovered that my love of them is not shared by everyone! I cannot quite comprehend why anyone would dislike them, and my only conclusion is that these people are just doing it in order to fight against the conformity of Christmas commercialism, but they secretly devour hundreds of them when nobody is looking.

Naturally, I decided a poll of Matazonians was in order.

So... like them, or hate them? Or maybe you haven't had one, or don't even know what one is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mince_pie).

This poll refers to the sweet mince pie, of Christmas tradition:

Mince pies normally have a pastry top, but versions may also be found without the top in which case they are known as mince tarts. Mince pies are filled with mincemeat – a preserve typically containing apple, dried fruits such as raisins and sultanas, spices, and either suet or vegetable shortening.

My step-niece, each Christmas, devours several hundred mince pies... but only of the iced-topped variety (probably fondant). In fact, there's usually a text message sent to everyone she knows declaring:

"Ive [sic] brought [sic] the first minced [sic] pies of the year!!!!!!!".

Ahem.

Glad to see that the "Yes" people outnumber the "No" people, on the poll
