that's Mincemeat NOT Minced Meat! bottles of mincemeat in Tesco's TODAY at 20p per bottle....yes I did say 20P a bottle! great for flavouring stews and stewed fruit..keeps for ever!

A glass bottle of Mincemeat? Really?

I imagine it's pretty nutritious as well. Fruit, sugar, carbs (from the suet) - what's not to like?

the mixed peel, god that's nasty stuff ,nearly as bad as beet root

Mmmm Mincemeat. Christmas Pudding. Not sure whether our US cousins would understand. It's like trying to explain marmite.

Mince meat is mince meat all over the world, wherever Englishmen went they carried their ancient comfort foods.

My grandmother used to make it and can it in glass jars.

It had more real meat in it than the commercial varieties and we used it for sandwiches as well as for pies.

Grandma used to make the sandwich and pinch the edges of the bread together and them fry it up in butter like a modern "Poptart".

Nooooooo

Mincemeat is NOT mince meat. In fact it has no meat in it at all.

It is sweet and not savory and goes into making mince pies for christmas.

Can't have too much Salt. After reading how much salt is involved in prepping meat I'm now looking at solar stills so I can convert sea water. Only problem is the crap in sea water stays in the salt. So make sure you have enough salt to keep you going a long time. 150Kg and adding more.
