Ah, the holiday season approaches. The time of long nights and short days, 'year's best' lists, cheesy holiday songs, and Christmas specials on the telly (including the return of our beloved Doctor Who!). It's also marked by the return of those dangerous little confections known as mince tarts. Growing up in America, I was blissfully unaware of these things until last year. (I may have heard the name, but I had no real idea as to it's significance).
The basic idea seems to be to take a good 10 or 12 inch fruit pie, and train your Acme Shrinking Ray on it until it's about 2 inches across. Thus, by the geometry involved, you've increased the taste density by a factor of about 30 or so. They may look harmless, but those things sure pack a punch. They are the pie equivalent of blipverts, and may indeed make your head explode.
