Urgh, Mince Pies. :redcardcomplaining:
Had always wondered why they were called 'mince' pies.

Turns out they used to actually have meat in them!

The reason mincemeat is called meat is because that’s exactly what it used to be: most often mutton, but also beef, rabbit, pork or game. Mince pies were first served in the early middle ages, and the pies were quite sizeable, filled with a mixture of finely minced meat, chopped up fruit and a preserving liquid. Mincemeat originally came about as a good way of preserving meat, without salting, curing, smoking or drying it.

"Preserving liquid". Oooh Yum.

I thought they must have had meat in them at some point. Still a yuck from me though.

I had some kind of pies at the Highland Games a few times. They were decent but needed a bit of hot sauce in them to spice them up a bit.

Glad everything is OK with your family. We really don't get hurricanes here. When weather is bad I should think it could be worse.

Dublin is a dull 17 degrees every single day of the year. If it's ever 20, everyone legs it to the nearest beach and hopes for some sunny breakthroughs.
