BFTD Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Deviating from mince pies for a second, the king of Christmas treats is still the mini stollen bites that Lidl put out every year. I'm not even keen on stollen, but Lidl's ones are like crack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like hot fruit, I’m not a puff pastry fan, but OH MY SWEET LORD THESE ARE SUBLIME.

BFTD Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Also, what is stollen?Oh, we have such sights to show you!Some of it can be stinking, but pick up one of the baskets of mini stollen from Lidl. They're like wee fruity scone bricks with marzipan; presumably a traditional Christmas thing in Germany, the source of all things wholesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it’s fucking horrible. Straight in the bin after Xmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 A proper Christmas mince pie should be made of shortcrust pastry and have a subtle kick of booze to it (cognac or brandy): that is just a generic festive snack IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
