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.
Where I’m from “mince pie” is dried fruit and spices, while “mince” is equivalent to the US ground beef (or less commonly other meats), and a “meat pie” is made from beef mince.
It made for frustrating Christmasses as a child because mini meat pies (“party pies”) are delicious and available at every other celebration.
This meme does meat pies dirty (unless “mincemeat pie” is one of those horribly deceptive terms like “mince pie”)
The more savory a pie gets, the more I like it. Pumpkin pie is okay. Mince meat is fine. Turkey is great!
Pumpkin pie is the devil.
But there is something amazing about chicken/turkey pot pies or other savory pies in that vein.
Hail satan!
A mincemeat pie is another name for a mince pie. So yeah.
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.

It’s a texture thing, for me. and I’m particular about the booze I put in my food. it sometimes gives weird flavors.
Mincemeat is not the same, at least where I’m from… Mincemeat is dried fruit and spices, no meat

I’m just going off of Wikipedia, idk.

Thankfully that’s not the case here in NZ. Otherwise the rather popular mince-n-cheese pie would be weird.
Today, ‘mincemeat’ as a term by itself, is unusual. It’s usually either just ‘mince’ (meat) or ‘fruit-mince’ (not meat).
French meat pie (Tourtiere) was always my favorite part of family Thanksgiving.
