As a Brit chiefly working with Americans I am obsessed with all the differences between our two languages. This post was a delightful read!

As someone surrounded by London accents, merging l and w into one letter makes perfect sense

M&S classic mince pies pt 2:

Unfortunately let down by the pastry: it's too thick, and it's crumbly to the point of being floury, which adds up to the overall mouthfeel of the pie being far too dry.

Verdict: you probably wouldn't eat a second one if they were being handed out at an event.

Review #1: M&S classic mince pies (the basic tier at M&S). £0.46 each. Pt. 1:

Filling all the way to the top, excellent quantity. Very traditional flavour for the filling, not too sweet. Very discernible taste of brandy, which feels generous, and really adds a Christmas-y feel.

Obviously the only sensible option remaining is for me to buy every mince pie I see and review them all.

So here it is: my mince pie review 2024! There's just one of me so I won't be scoring or ranking them as I can't taste them all in one day, but I'll keep posting more as time goes on.

It was great because they performed the reviews with all the diligence you'd expect from an outlet more au fait with reviewing barely-differentiable graphics cards.

The magazine shut down a couple of years ago, and I feel lost and adrift without their mince pie reviews to guide me.

Super-interesting dive into the security details! Some similarities to the old bittorrent / p2p scene, I wonder if any of these websites evolved out of that.
