Yeah, researching the topic I see that it can also include beef suet, this is aparrently not included in this pie...I remember mince pies from reading Dickens and other Victorian authors...

Like you, I'm okay with cheap grocery store punkin' pies (got one at Target yesterday for four bux), but it is worth buying a pecan or mince pie I think at a higher price from a good bakery...these pies will be very rich and toothsome, only a small slice needed, I can freeze much of the remainder...

I got two of their fruitcakes last year, and in fact just finished the remainder this past week, they spent much of their lives in the freezer, was nice to have a bit 'o cold fruitcake in the hot summer...'twas worth the money!
