As these new fangled searching "engines" are rather complex, here is my contribution.

 

Of course being a pie, it's my bag. Even though not my favourite kind of pie.

 

Here is a mince pie.

A mince pie (sometimes also minced, minced meat, or mincemeat pie) is a British festive sweet pastry, traditionally consumed during the Christmas and New Year period. Mince pies normally have a pastry top, but versions may also be found without the top in which case they are known as mince tarts. Mince pies are filled with mincemeat – a preserve typically containing apple, dried fruits such as raisins and sultanas, spices, and either suet or vegetable shortening.

Ohh i read the details but for some reason fruity meat just doest seem right. but i guess its probably one of those things you have to try to find the glory in, so i dunno. Either way. after a long bus ride. getting dropped off on the side of the road at 5 am in some random place.. and the use of my little Japanese in order to figure out how to get to my hostel. i have made it. waiting to check in and heading to happo hopefully with in the hour. I AM SO READY!!!!

yes it is, which is why we call them Fruit Mince pies in Australia thumbsup

 

We call ground beef, minced beef - so by that definition of the word mince - translate that to a similar process/look but with dried fruits/apple and spices, whack the mixture inside a nice shortcrust pastry and there you have it.

 

Some love them, some hate them. REAL homemade ones are great, but store bought are gross - I can taste the chemicals in them, and one particular brand must have ridiculously high sulphate levels because it sets off an asthma attack in me every time I so much a taste one.

 

One of the Christmas Faire treats that I can leave.

Happo was great today!!! well it was dumping pretty much most of the day so visibility wasn't the best. and once i fell knocking my goggles off, i pretty much had to hurt more poor eyes, by going goggle less. but i cant get over how fast the snow is here. back home the snow is much much more wet and sticky, and there is no way i could go as fast as i could today. Either way it was a great day. back country guides eh? ill have to ask around about that one.

 

And check. will try fresh home made mince pies the 1st time i get a chance.....

Hopefully it actually gets cold this coming week and you get to enjoy some real Japow. The stuff you had today would probably be considered a little wet and sticky for Japan.

Good to hear you're enjoying it though cheers
