. So as it's Christmas and the next meeting is the last in the current season - Richard and I thought it would be a good idea to turn a wager we're having into something with a broader appeal - a mince pie tasting session.
We'll be bringing along a selection of supermarket brand mince pies to see which supermarket is the Christmas No. 1 for 2009! With this being the season of good will and in the spirit of Quick Silver, you're all invited to join us in our tasting session and help spread some festive cheer...hoorah!

Seems a long time ago on this thread that James promised this but here goes ......
I've got a couple of challengers for the title of QuickSilver Top Mince Pie 2009. This is the championship that everyone really wants to know the outcome of this weekend! Which mince pies are the ones to leave out for Santa to ensure he leaves the biggest presents under your tree this Christmas Eve.
First up for the title are Sainsbury's best offering - their imaginatively named Sainsbury's Deep Mince Pies. What treats lie inside the Christmas gift wrap effect box?
And secondly a challenger from the Co-op - well actually from Somerfield but the good old days of Somerfield produce are as distant a memory as the Hinckley Somerfield store ( it's a Tescos now
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
), Co-op own brand produce rules the Somerfield shelves now. But the Co-op have produced these rather delicious looking pies - so good they have a clear window in the box so they can be seen (but keeps the drool off the pies!) - will they taste as good as they look? Are they truely "Truely Irresistible"?
Obviously we're going to need some help deciding the best mince pie of 2009 so we'll see you Saturday for some festive racing!
Richard
