    Then I take it back. I have never been as disappointed as the first time I was offered a “mince” pie

      Mincemeat it is made from dried fruit and booze.

      S’far as I can tell it’s the filing in mince pie.

      But like. Ew. No way there’s enough booze in there to make that sound attractive.

        I guess, if you don’t like raisins and currants? It’s just a fruit pie, I don’t really see what’s so horrible about that. It’d be more understandable if we were talking about a fly cemetery, a similar pastry with a much more interesting name.
