    Mince pie (traditional English Christmas cake)

    Mince pie

    Here’s an idea for your Christmas table – Mince pie. For the first time I heard about it from the best English teacher – my daughter’s teacher – Miss Maria Angelova. Ever since I was told this thing exists and how delicious it was, it has been on my recipes waiting list. But I knew I would make it for Christmas, because then it is its time. Because of the meaning of “mince”, my first surprise was that it’s a sweet pie. Probably the stuffing of a variety of fruits and nuts is so reminiscent of minced meat that I guess that’s where the name tag comes from. Thanks also…
