This meme does meat pies dirty (unless "mincemeat pie" is one of those horribly deceptive terms like "mince pie")

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The more savory a pie gets, the more I like it. Pumpkin pie is okay. Mince meat is fine. Turkey is great!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Pumpkin pie is the devil.

But there is something amazing about chicken/turkey pot pies or other savory pies in that vein.

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

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.

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.
