    The mince pies are small sweet pastries filled with a bitter sweet paste called mincemeat, This mince contains no meat. Mincemeat is essentially an ancient mixture of dried fruits, ground almonds and spices, sugar and fat, almost certainly brought back to England from the Middle East by Crusaders.
