Comments on: None Such Mince Meat http://naturewoman.wordpress.com/2007/12/08/none-such-mincemeat/ My Observations of the World around me.

The other half went to my husband's aunt who is 102 years old. Well, the old folks just raved on and on about how wonderful it was (I used the jar of NoneSuch and Pillsbury pie crusts - how easy was that!) Long story short: I live in Austin, Texas and have tried every store in town to buy some more mincemeat, but to no avail. It's definitely a seasonal thing down here. I am originally from Nova Scotia and maybe the British tastes are still prevalent in that part of Canada, thus I like it too. I am trying to order some of the condensed (box) kind on-line - I think Borden has a website.

And your recipe sounds good, if I were to like mincemeat in any form. I can't believe how expensive it is now! Ruth - That's too bad you haven't had mincemeat in a while! I don't care for the meatless mincemeat either, because I don't like raisins either. Sandy - That’s good! And your recipe sounds good, if I were to like mincemeat in any form.

The family I married into seems to have a genetic aversion to raisins, so I haven't had this pie for years. It is so rich, I cannot eat a pie by myself. There are lots of meatless mincemeats around too. I love mincemeat pie and we always had it at home at Christmas.

Not with meat though. Thanks for reminding me that I usually make one at Christmas. I use a green tomato mincemeat recipe and subsitute a pear for the tomato. Works fine, and both my husband and I like it. Glad to hear the beginnings of None Such. Do you know that little ten cent box is four or five dollars now! Well, I like it! Not with meat though.

You and Mary would probably like Mince Meat, but I'm with you, I prefer to eat another type of pie first! Jayne - Thank you!

I have always wondered exactly what "mincemeat" was, and now I know. Like Mary, I think I'd prefer less meat in my pie...lol. :c) What a fun and interesting post Pam.

I do too! I tasted a piece of mince pie once and it was yucky, but I don't like raisins, currants, or citrus peels anyway. There was always a mince pie at Thanksgiving and other times of year because my Dad liked it. However, the prize cookies I remember liking. I wouldn't eat them now, but when I was a kid they were good! Mary - I’m glad you liked the history. I do too!

I'll have a lemon pie first.
