And with nary a drop of brandy. Surely, brandy would've improved it considerably. Heck, with enough brandy, she could've left the canned stuff out altogether. It was quite disgusting. Maybe the cannery folks stirred it in the wrong direction. And I'm quite sure we didn't eat it (or anything else... EVER) in silence, either.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-80660776355808922992012-11-28T19:00:54.779+00:002012-11-28T19:00:54.779+00:00I'd never heard of making a wish or eating the...I'd never heard of making a wish or eating the first mince pie in silence or that it needed to be stirred in only a clockwise direction.<br /><br />I've never tried making it, either, but in case i do, it's good to know the 'proper' way.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90050335529338091612012-11-28T17:29:17.978+00:002012-11-28T17:29:17.978+00:00I am half embarrassed to say I have never had minc...I am half embarrassed to say I have never had mince meat......I wish you the best, stirring the mince meat the right way will help, I am sure!!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435370349554811512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-35088868966043349352012-11-28T16:24:38.369+00:002012-11-28T16:24:38.369+00:00Love Mincemeat……or is it the Brandy?Love Mincemeat……or is it the Brandy?Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-14667116980954865432012-11-28T15:30:53.204+00:002012-11-28T15:30:53.204+00:00Just the Christmas Cake to go, but that's Lady...Just the Christmas Cake to go, but that's Lady Magnon's dep't again!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-44495464081776003652012-11-28T14:31:28.215+00:002012-11-28T14:31:28.215+00:00Home made is best, and the more brandy the better....Home made is best, and the more brandy the better.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-49401131816473939012012-11-28T14:23:00.303+00:002012-11-28T14:23:00.303+00:00just made pies from mince meat made last year...so...just made pies from mince meat made last year...so much brandy it nearly walked in to the tins.....yum!!Gerry Snapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269492251928362799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-12572363827953333982012-11-28T14:16:46.560+00:002012-11-28T14:16:46.560+00:00your house is putting out goodies 24/7...looks del...your house is putting out goodies 24/7...looks delicious.Taradharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665801586196931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-57750417259033502172012-11-28T14:00:02.755+00:002012-11-28T14:00:02.755+00:00I have never made mincemeat, nor christmas pud, no...I have never made mincemeat, nor christmas pud, nor christmas cake - but that doesn't mean I am a bad person.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-76037278878603153952012-11-28T12:51:48.150+00:002012-11-28T12:51:48.150+00:00That's probably why you went to Tobago, and no...That's probably why you went to Tobago, and not Trinidad.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69638938319294353022012-11-28T12:36:15.485+00:002012-11-28T12:36:15.485+00:00Mmm, love mincemeat!
