Pimp That Snack

Why no mini pimps?

    Most/all of the pimps entered have been making day to day snacks in gigantic beasts, my question is should this be a standard occurance or should people be attempting really mini pimps? I know our saviours Mr Cadbury and Sir Kipling have given us some exceedingly good mini cakes such as the mini roll, mini battenburg and mini victoria sponge but I'm sure there could be some pimpage in making mini pimps?

    I'm still amazed that no one has yet pretended to put a celebrations Bounty bar next to a normal sized one and say that they pimped a bounty? Is there a bounty on here....I'm off to check!

    yes siree. A bountyful bounty can be found - pimped by pimpdaddy himself. This was the early days though, so perhaps you could give him a run for his money?

    the trouble with mini pimps is that there are already fun size versions of most chocolate bars.

    i did float an idea of making mini versions of meals that you can eat as snacks, which went down like a lead balloon. no one seemed to want a miniature shepherd's pie funnily enough [Wink]

    I thought about doing a mini pimp but, as you say, its been done by the likes of Kipling. Exceedingly good idea tho.

    The other thought I wanted to express in this forum was that "mini treats" remind me of Bridget Jones' mother in the Edge of Reason.

    really??? okay, i might give it a go then next time i make a shepherd's pie. it probably wouldn't qualify as a project, but just for you, JJ, seeing as you're the only person to ever think it was a good idea [Wink]

    I think it is pure genius.

    especially seeing as i just ate shepherds pie for dinner!

    Bridget Jones mother in the Edge Of Reason has a party involving miniture versions of foods. Bridget is very embarrased by it. Not seen the film?

    oh right, i see, i've read the book but not seen the film. that bit isn't in the book - i've heard quite a lot of it isn't, so i didn't bother watching

    thanks for clearing it up, i was worried i was missing something then!

    Damn you. I created an account just to be able to post this. I love shepherd's pie. My grandmother made the best shepherd's pie anywhere. Anywhere, I say!

    Now I'm going to have to pick up some 2 oz ramekins and make mini sheps.

    I want to see mini sheps.
