    Okay, so it may seem silly, but I've only just found out that Mince Pies are not actually made with Mince Meat! I always just assumed they had meat in them, no one told me otherwise! So I'd never tried one (thinking they didn't sound very appealing)

    Until Friday when I learnt there's no meat in them at all! and it's just all fruity things!

    I tried one today and they're goooood!

    Just thought I'd share this info incase I wasn't the only one who didn't know.

    Anyone ever had any mis-conceptions regarding food before??

    Wham Bam Thank You Mam.

    A very long time ago they had mincemeat in them. Now they just contain loads of fruit etc.. nearest thing to meat is suet in some of them.

    All i know about them is that they're disgusting.

    Pick a star on the horizon

    And follow the light

    You'll come back when it's over

    No need to say goodbye.

    Rest in Peace Victoria & Will, always loved and missed, never forgotten xxx

    I thought exactly the same! Didn't find out until last night when my mum was sat eating one and asked me if i wanted one so i said "no thanks i don't like mince meat" and she just laughed and told me its not mince meat! I still don't get why there called Mince pies though lol

    In my head I don't like them, but I really do. It's weird.

    I used to think they contained mince meat too. Like mini pukka pies. Yum. I wish they did.

    whats in them is called mince meat though but it doesn't have meat in, minced beef & other meat is called minced meat. mince is a funny word!


    So happy christmas
    I love you baby
    I can see a better time
