Minced pie is made of minced dry food (raisins, nuts, etc) and they are really really sweet. Originally contained spices and dried fruit. Minced pie is the favourite fruit of Santa Claus; children would place a pie or two at the foot of the chimney as an appreciation for the presents. Honestly I'm not used to the taste, really really sweet. Bad for diabetic. But after a while you might like it. My sister taught me this trick to add double cream on minced pie; it kind of tone down the sweetness of the minced pie, and it taste better. You should try.
Mince pies!
The girls who attended the event
Though it was an enjoyable moment of catching up and meeting new people, Marjan was distracted with homeworks, used the opportunity of an international event and started catching people for interviews for our blog!
Marjan working during a fun time... tsk tsk Marjan...
... while Jackie and I enjoyed talking and phototaking...
Happy Jackie
Though the event was held between classes, it was a really fun. We felt the wonderful Christmas spirit as this would be the first English Christmas for most of us. Not all of us stayed back in Middlesbrough for Christmas, most of us left touring around UK or Europe, but the staffs were nice to invite those who stayed back to visit them and probably bring them around.
Cleaning up after the event
Thank you, our Dean, Professor Gerda Roper and staffs for organising such event. We felt welcome.
