Well blow me down, something we can agree on!

But I love them.

Christmas isn't Christmas without one, even if I have to make it myself (most "mincemeat" hear doesn't contain any meat products). I use a shortbread crust to make them double dangerous.

Gorgeous high quality Glennfiddich laced all butter pastry ones that are second only to home-made ones. Yum.

Ah, well if it isn't a 12 year old pure malt ... (Smith's Glenlivet is one of the few available here)

Enjoy

Re: Mincemeat and old meat

Hi Granny Magda

They are reminiscent of the kind of cooking that was popular in Tudor times, when mixing meat with sweet and smothering everything in spices was the order of the day.

Especially when the meat got a little long in the tooth ... curious how many countries mix spice and sweet with meat (curry anyone? kung pao?) as a means to hid the age of the meat.

Enjoy.
