redbullmarky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yeah Merry Christmas!!!Dunno why, but I feel all Christmassy this year for once. But I wont be if Father Christmas nicks all my mince pies and Jack Daniels again.[b]edit[/b]: that reminds me, whilst i'm in the spirit - here's a random fact. In the UK, it is ILLEGAL to eat a mince pie on Christmas Day. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with Oliver Cromwell, I believe.a mince pie is like an apple pie, only stuffed with mincemeat instead.

Round Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I love wierd an wonderful facts like that.I did a tiny bit of research and the law is referring to the other kind of mince meat, eg. beef.the reason why we now reffer to the fruity kind of pies as mince pies is because apparently they were designed to get around the law.either way they certainly dont taste as good.
