Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Mincemeat Pie!

Take a backpack and gallon ziplock bags into golden corral

Go up to the salad bar and put a hurt on them ham dices, get olives, cheese cubes, sunflower seeds, gummie bears
Bunch of yeast rolls

Eat your fill of everthing else, next day you make a bunch of mini calzone pies

Yeah, it did. Originally came out of medieval England I think. Nowadays it still calls for beef suet even if it has no meat. My beef (pun intended) with it is that I'm not a fan of cloves or allspice.

The only real mincemeat pie, with meat in it, that I have ever eaten was at a B&B outside Bath, England and it was very good though I thought she had put a little too much of those bitter spanish oranges in it. The mincemeat fruit filling that you can buy at the grocery store is one of my favorite pies. I like the Crosse & Blackwell Rum & Brandy Mincemeat Filling the best though. Hot with ice cream is wonderful too!

Well, if you don't like those spice, you certainly won't like mincemeat pie...........with or without some animal flesh in it.

I think mom used the None-Such brand. I may look into Crosse and Blackwell if I can't find a ready made one and have to bake one myself.

I was watching this one episode of Little House on Prairie

They was gonna put this posse together, they all met up. The one dude give everyone the run down on how badass the villains were they was gonna go chase

One guy says “no way, my wife is fixin a kidney pie, I’m outta here”


Anyway

I just remember terrabytes of obscure useless tidbits

Exactly.

I don't even like pumpkin pie if the cook is heavy-handed with the ground cloves.

No doubt that's a result of all that smoking you did before the roofing jobs!

Love it, once a year I get to eat a whole pie. None of my family like it but the wife makes one special for me at Christmas.

You apparently married well.

Like it. In small amounts.

Oh Hell yes. The real deal with currants, meat, etc. Love it! Served warm with vanilla ice cream

My aunt used to make a venison mincemeat pie. Haven't had anything that compares to it.

Generaial turning. Some of us grew up eating mincemeat and fruitcake , some of you grew up eating Twinkies

Grew up eating apple, cherry, blueberry, peach, and pecan pie. Twinkies are above mincemeat on my Nope List.

Mincemeat pie ,my wife makes one for me at this time of year every year. Eating a strawberry ruhbarb pie right now.

Love mincemeat pie. Our family has done a mincemeat recipe with green tomatoes as the the base. They are blanched and seeds removed then used as a filler pulp. Add raisins apples and spices. Wonderful stuff. I’ve done real venison mincemeat and like it but our family recipe is better.

The history on green tomato mincemeat is from depression days when there would be lots of green tomatoes at the end of the season. Venison was scarce and meat a premium. So the recipe came about to have a pie filling that could be easily canned and kept through the winter and a way to use up plentiful green tomatoes at the end of the season.

Mincemeat and rhubarb pies are my two favorites.

So your point is ?

Maybe you are from a different part of the country

I've gotten two black currant plants from a lady at the farmer's market that will go in/near the berry patch next spring. I can' wait for them to start producing.

Perhaps I'll look up a recipe for REAL mincemeat pie then.
