"Supermarkets need to chill on the Christmas stuff in September" ... Nah. Normalise eating Stollen, mince pies and iced fruitcake year-round, I say.
@philpem it's weird, it's been years since Tesco went "y'know teacakes are kinda rubbish, lets just do hot cross buns permanently" and that seemed to go great for them.
@zxguesser I had no idea hot cross buns were seasonal. I did notice my local Sainsbury's had started selling Christmas cake year round though - as "iced fruitcake bars"
@philpem I'll take less "Merry Christmas" in September but mince pies all year round please.
@azakir That sounds like a delicious compromise! Though it does mean less stocking up on cheap mince pies on Boxing Day.
@philpem Mince pies are so good, there's no reason to limit them to one bit of the year!
