Oh, and Devonshire clotted cream is gorgeous too....it's just there has been one of 'those wars' going on for hundreds of years about which is better ;) They also have an ongoing battle about the Devonshire Cream Tea v the Cornish Cream Tea....in Devon they put the cream onto the splits BEFORE the jam, in Cornwall the jam goes on first....hardly worth fighting over is it?!!? :eek: :D x |

And 'over here' - Shepherds Pie is made with lamb (hence the shepherds :p) and Cottage Pie is beef....but the meat's touching the mashed potato - how come you don't mind that? :confused: x |

My grandmother and her friend would get together every Oct and start making fruit cakes inside Maxwell House coffee cans to give as gifts and all, they would also make candies and cookies... At no point did they have to worry about me messing with anything because I also hate anything with nuts in it lol But even after my grandmother passed we still had frozen coffee can fruit cakes.. Yuck!! :p |
Oh and DO NOT leave me and a loaf of Soda Bread with some apple butter along in the same room :p you will come back to an empty plate lol |

ha ha... I see Lisa beat me to it! She is right, beef or mutton fat. I think it is hard fat and there is something different about the melting point which I can't remember right now. I think lard is pig fat? ugh gross... (sorry) We have several very knowledgable cooks on this site.... I think that is great! I learn something new all the time. |

Still, it used to be nothing but meat and fruits etc., in the "old" days, but slowly as people had fresher cuts of meat and not so much of it tasted "off", they had no need to put it in pies loaded with spices and things to disguise the poor taste. When I was a child, we had real mincemeat pies with meat and then later, mother got tired of cooking that extra beef at holiday time so she stopped adding the meat. I love mincemeat pie with pulled beef and all those sweet and sharply spiced flavors with it in a lovely buttery crust. So good with a cup of coffee and dollop of whipped cream on top! My dad would put an actual pat of butter atop his warm mincemeat pie with or without meat for some reason! |

Sally, you haven't lived! The true mincemeat pie is excellent and so satisfying if you like very different flavors all mixed into one pie. The sharply spiced, very sweet fruit is enriched by the presence of the pieces of beef. And all in that wonderful crust. It is a meal in itself to me so when I made it, we usually just ate it as the entree with a nice salad. But you can make it with only tiny bits of been, too, so that it is more of a true dessert. You've got to have yourself a slice of true mincemeat pie soon. It's quite tasty. We're getting pumped for Season 3 of Downton Abbey starting this Sunday I think it is! Getting all set to see what happens this year. Is it true there will be no more Upstairs Downstairs because of that "Rose" character's stroke/heart problems? It was no DA but the new version of UD was still good to me, even without Rose. |
:eek: You all are making this Southern girl's brain hurt! :eek: half the time I have to text Lisa to find out what this stuff is! Meat and potatoes, that is what we have in the South! :p |
Sally, I was watching an old movie about wartime in Britain when obviously rationing was rife. The story starts with a large, fancy cake being the Hitchcockian MacGuffin and it and its weight are featured so prominently one begins to crave cake, which is beside the point. haha. But more than one character talks about how light the cake is and that it was obviously made with eggs or real eggs. What does that mean? Do you know what was used in place of eggs to make cake back in wartime Britain that coincidentally made cakes actually heavy in actual weight? |
OMG! I love fruitcake, the dark variety, and have been searching for a great one for years! I eat the whole cake (throughout the holidays... no one else eats it here) and I do extend the 'season' to include January! I love the all fruit mincemeat pies too! (never had one with meat, but willing to try!) And I thought I was alone and a closet fruitcake consumer at that, lol! Sally... what's roasties?:confused: |
