Mince

Sainsburys had loads of mince pies on display today. Sigh. Christmas is
still more than two months off. Are we back here again already? Which
brings up the question, mince pies, are they a delightful seasonal treat
or are they a sticky vile disgusting food at any time of year? Not
being British, I'll probably have to pick the latter.

what exactly is a mince pie?

Nasty, that's what they are.

But I guess they are mostly like ground up raisins (and other dried fruit) and I think lard (suet) and treacle or something sweet. Every Christmas, I notice that the British are loving them while every non-British person politely declines them.
