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

A mincemeat pie is another name for a mince pie. So yeah.
Mincemeat is not the same, at least where I'm from... Mincemeat is dried fruit and spices, no meat
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).
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.
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.
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!
French meat pie (Tourtiere) was always my favorite part of family Thanksgiving.
They've never had a good mincemeat pie then.
missed opportunity to mention to volume of a pizza pie with radius z and depth a
How can a probability be the null set?
What's going on here? Mincemeat pies are delicious.
Theta minus sin theta? What does that give you
Kepler's Equation
(1/2)×θ×r^2
is the area of a circle sector, like a slice of pie.
(1/2)×sin(θ)×side1×side2
is the side-angle-side formula for the area of a triangle.
We know that the triangle encompassed by the sector has two sides that are equal to the radius, so we replace side1×side2 with r^2. Since the area of the arc segment is equal to the area of a sector minus the triangle, we can subtract triangle area from sector area to get
(1/2)×(θ-sin(θ))×r^2
which is the area of the arc segment, as shown with pie in the picture.
Is theta in radians? That's the only way I see this working
Yeah, it's in radians. The degree version has a less clean format.
That makes way more sense, I was so confused, cheers
