oh my God, this looks amazing -- I never really knew what mincemeat was until this moment. It was served up by great aunts, but I just said 'no thanks' like Julia's fire brigade. Another brilliant offering Julia.
Christmas at your house sounds wonderful Julia, even with two fires! I love how you write these posts, starting with an anecdote and then ending with the recipe with some fascinating history thrown in along the way. This is a great newsletter.
And I am almost tempted to try and make my own mincemeat in spite of how not fond I am of mince pies...
Julia, Have you considered re-creating a recipe for savory mincemeat, containing minced meat? I wonder if we would like the taste nowadays.

This sounds as though it would be fun to make. I never had a recipe for mincemeat but I buy it in jars every year to make pie.

Wonderful as always.!
