Seems my Mom's generation used to eat it quite a bit. Oh I love my veggie mincemeat....no fat of any type except the crust. I can it and used to make it special for my dad when he was alive. My grandma used to make mincemeat pies when I was little, no clue what was in that. She was Finnish, & I imagine there was suet in it.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 What a great post you sent in. I was thinking about that too this morning. I couldn't imagine Linda McCartney using mincemeat in many recipes. I've only seen it in pies and filled cookies during the holiday season and I don't know m,any fans of it. Seems my Mom's generation used to eat it quite a bit. Donna --- h_detmers <h_detmers wrote: > It helps tonconsider what language an author writes > in.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Actually Linda McCartney was from New York. She was born and raised in America. She seems to have developed a british accent living there so long. Alia, - " Donnalilacflower " <thelilacflower > What a great post you sent in. I was thinking about > that too this morning.
