Kate, you need to clarify on your shock -- you discovered an ENGLISH someone who claims to have never had a mincemeat. I can almost guarantee 98% of the 6 people who read my blog have never had it either.
I can further say I happen to know your English someone is prone to attention-seeking lying. And he kicks puppies.
Mindy, you're right, I should have been more clear, and the attention-seeking lying hasn't escaped me. My initial reaction was suspicion; the shock was a secondary response in good faith. ;)
I am still of the opinion that it is impossible to live in this country and avoid mince pies. But proper ones, not those mcdonalds things!

Custard?!
They should be eaten hot with cream or brandy butter, like in a Marks & Spencers advert.
The other day I was flabberghasted to discover someone who claims never to have had a mincepie before.
*shakes head* The shame.
(For nice mince pies try the Tesco bakery flaky-pastry ones. WITHOUT custard.)

You better have gotten one of those.
