Mince Pie For Christmas !

Seems like I may be the only one here that is evolved enough to enjoy mince pie!

I appreciate the "great unwashed" holding back on their commentary

I found it utterly disgusting. I'll never try mince meat pie again.

I wouldn't eat that shit, but my dogs might like it..

First I thought this thread was started by a Brit...

My dad used to make mince meat pies for the holidays, and I hought they were way too over spiced. He used the pre-made filling from a jar. Then I tried a home made pie, one of the small ones. Yummy!!
I would love to try some of the original types. The ones where they used real meat. Those now a days only use beef tallow for some flavor. I really should google a recipe using venison. We love venison pot roast using cranberries and various spices, so this shouldn't be too different???

I knew there must be one out there

THANK YOU JESUS, I AM NOT ALONE!!!

I love them, but the prepared filling is now almost $9.00 a jar. WAY over my budget. I also really like the "Prize Cookies" on the dried filling box...but it's almost $4.00 a box now. I don't remember what I paid last Christmas, but I know it wasn't near $4.00. The ingredients for homemade filling are just as outrageous. I expect "mincemeat" to disappear from store shelves within a couple of years...too expensive. I'm old enough to have seen it happen before.
