Mince pies are actually rotten and have no business being a Christmas dessert

No more, we say.

CHRISTMAS DINNER is one of the best meals of the year. Lovely turkey, gravy, stuffing… perfect. But you know where it all falls down? The desserts.

Christmas pudding and Christmas cake are horrible, but you can avoid them easily enough. The real villain is the mince pie. Mince pies are bad, and they should feel bad.

Before you ask, we know that they don’t contain actual mince meat

It’s absolutely mental that they call the mixture inside ‘mincemeat’ though. That shouldn’t be allowed.

But what they do contain is worse

Raisins and assorted brown goo, in a stodgy pastry casing? Yeah, good luck to you.

Like, what is this

A big bowl of nope, is what it is.

Yet somehow, mince pies have become the Offical Christmas Treat

Who approved this? We were never consulted on it. We demand a recount.

And we have had it with being offered something nice, then discovering it is a treacherous mince pie

“Would you like some dessert? I have mince pies!” *flips table*

So ‘mince pies’, get in the bin where you belong

In with the rest of the rubbish. You’ve ruled over Christmas desserts for far too long.
