Home made mincemeat!

But maybe I'll need another batch of it, actually. That doesn't look as though it'll make an appropriately ridiculous number of mince pies.

*nods* Pie is important. When it comes to big celebratory dinners, I operate on a one-person one-pie principle: if you don't have an entire pie per person, you do not have enough food.

Brilliant! Of course these are very small pies, so there'll be far more than one per person. (I should not, in theory, go overboard. There will be many other sorts of food! So, so many! We are responsible for at least three or four other kinds of sweet cakey and biscuity things alone! But what is Christmas the much-needed midwinter food-and-light binge for if not going overboard, I ask you.)

Excellent. I hereby name you Honorary North-Norwegian wif Oak Leaves. :D Your principle goes hand in hand with the dread 'if there aren't plenty of leftovers from every single dish that was put on the table, someone left the table still hungry!!!' Which is something of a disaster. :)
