Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeLONDON, Dec 23 — Every Christmas , Brits devour about 800 million mince pie s, but moves to jazz up the festive sweet treats made of dried fruit and pastry are stirring anger among purists.
In recent years, however, home cooks and big supermarket chains have begun to experiment, putting their own twist on the pies by adding less traditional ingredients to try to tempt more adventurous palates. It seems palates have become “so jaded these days that we need to ring the changes and have whatever fashionable flavour is currently dominating TikTok in the pies,” she said.
Cloake concedes, however, that some innovations can be tasty such as the mince pies produced by London bakery Pophams. “We have great respect for the classic shortcrust mince pie, but we believe in the power of innovation — especially when it creates something so delicious,” said creative director Lucy McWhirter.North London florist Marti Warren, 56, said additions such as chocolate or salted caramel were “my nightmare”.
Having developed a love of mince pies over 40 years living in Britain, she said her key criteria was that there should be a thin crust and a traditional and plentiful filling.
