[TRADITIONAL FOOD] Mince Pies

In the UK, mince pies are available for practically the entire month of December, so they get in the mood early!

You'll understand why as soon as you taste the luscious mincemeat filling and crisp pastry.

While making your own mincemeat is perfectly acceptable, most people just buy a jar from the supermarket.

And there isn't any meat there, so don't worry! Rather, it consists of a mixture of fruits, spices, orange zest, and fat—possibly lard.
