that accent is so amazing😂 I kept on laughing because she narrates it a little bit weird than any of her other videos😂 keep up the good work Ann Readon😊

I actually did know pastry was called paste at one time because of UZtop lol I watch those Victoria way videos with Mrs. Crocombe lol

Eep!

Love mincemeat although today the meat is gone and just the fruit remains. Every year before Christmas I would help mum make jars of mincemeat to be made into large pies or tarts throughout the year. The amount of spirits added preserves the fruit while also adding flavour. This was in NZ.

This is older but thought I’d answer something - back in the day they’d store a mix of the minced meat and fruit/spices in a root cellar for 8 weeks to 6 months and due to the cold temps and the alcohol fermented from the fruit, plus the spices added, the mixture would actually keep and you could use it later for pie. Nowadays that wouldn’t be considered safe to eat though, and it probably wasn’t totally safe to eat back then either lmao, plus probably didn’t taste amazing.

Hey guys, where did Ann post the meat after the 4 months? I am extremely curious lmao.

When it said “put down” I thought “Do they mean ‘BURY IT’?”

They would have cooked or somehow preserved the meat, not just used it and stored it raw. And the raisins would give a higher sugar content than fresh fruit would, so it would keep better, maybe?

I wish you'd have fed this to poor Dave. He's been such a good sport eating the hack foods. He deserves something decent

A lot of old recipes that are really weird but strangely works. Like I was saw a tomato soup cake on TikTok and the guy who made it said it tasted like chocolate somehow. He was shocked too.

I thought it meant like a fruit pie that was 200 years old not a 200 year old recipe. Whoops 😂

Rachel kinda pie😆😂

this is like rachel greens recipe on thanksgiving :D

The pointless environment additionly queue because yacht ophthalmoscopically battle underneath a eight difference. bad, magenta bail

So was she supposed to put raisins in it, or was it supposed to be grapes. I would never want grapes that were cooked. Yuck.

Why do i find this appetizing

remember that is all they had back then and if you eat it then it would taste lovely and mince pies used to have meat until it was changed when factories made them. dave you are lucky to have a wife ready to make them

Could it possibly be that not meat is meant but instead, something that had another name back then.

Meat & fruit? Some empanadas and chile rellenos have that combination. No sugar of course but the sweetness of the raisins give that extra twist. Similar mix of spices. Interesting....

I’m loving the accent. Definitely the highlight

Once my aunt brought cookies and mini pies for Christmas.. There was a particular one she wanted us to try out.. The ingredients included meat, wine and certain fruits and nuts.. At first, I wasn't sure of trying it because of the meat- But it was good when I tried it 🤣🤣😂😂

Poor man who had to wait four months for a pie😏♥️

Doesn’t look too alien to me. In Mexico I’ve seen quite a lot of minced meat with fruit recipes, and the mis famous are the Chiles en Nogada. These pies look quite good actually.

The flavour combination feels like a winter dish. In germany, many of the oriental and indian spices are used in christmas pastries. Raisins, currants and nutmeg with meat fits pretty neatly into that niche. I'd imagine some aniseed in it as well. If you ever hear a german at an indian restaurant go "smells like christmas"... That's why 😄😉

OMG I never knew you played dress up time princess

I've heard of a meat pie and a fruit pie, but never a fruit *and* meat pie.

I really admire you for being you!

when Ann was reading all that stuff about heating the oven in the book, after all the complicated stuff in the book, she just said "in other words, heat your oven to 180 degrees" i just cracked up

Kind of seems more like a pot pie???

who reading that recipe? makes me so Angry !!!!!!

Now this is what we typically call in Bulgaria "манджа с грозде".

What happened to the fruit mince you saved for 4 months? I'm surprised they didn't have salt in their recipe since that helps meat last.

I keep busting up laughing at the sudden stopping and starting of the violin music behind the overly antique australian voice 🤣🤣

MEAT Beginning in Old English, meat meant solid food (as opposed to drink) or fodder for animals. In A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775), Samuel Johnson noted, “Our guides told us, that the horses could not travel all day without rest or meat.” Generally, the word’s meaning has narrowed to refer only to the flesh of mammals, and in some regions, only pork or beef, but some Scottish dialects retain the older meaning of any kind of food

I want to try the full meat version. I love meat and fruit. Definitely a pineapple on pizza girl.

That accent really goes together with cooking

Here in Italy we have a pie with raisins, onions and salty anchovy in it. It's amazing!

I love these archaic recipes!

Can you imagine how people from 200 years ago would react if they had the kitchen items we have today lol?

Name a more iconic duo i'll wait: Ann and Dave

Love the video yet I’d never make this, I just love watching the process of how it’s made🤣 I have a serious dislike for mince pies, every year I’m fascinated by the people that rush to buy them literally as soon as they hit the shops at Christmas time!

Does it matter, it has fruit in it and fruit goes well wirh meat, so it's fruit pie 🙄 shoukd've stuck with the recipe & not swap out things but cool cool

Y i m remembering Rachel from F. R. I. E. N. D. S

I think it might have taste better if you stuck to regular raisins instead of grapes. Raisins can actually taste great with meat!

Accept the fact We all are here bcoz of Dave's face in the videos image with title......or is it only me

Rachel likes this.

0:56 I’m a simple guy. I see Ann telling me to preheat my oven to 180°, I do it.

I wonder if they would have known that to place something in a jar would automatically mean to cover with brine or some some sort of alcohol. Fruit type deserts traditionally do soak them in wine or rum etc.

no

I think I would like that first pie but I am a really gross eater. I like milk at room temp and that's been in the sun. XD

What about the pie in the jar??????

Have you seen victorian farm? They make chutney and store it in a jar covered in a pigs bladder. It keeps fine. My grandmother does something similar with modern canning jars. Also using real raisins makes a difference. Its so hard to interpret these old texts without all the information of the time. Keep it up. Its Its interesting to see these from the eyes of a modern cook.

Does Ann do an accent when she reads he recipes?

Mmmmmmmmm the accent is sooooo wonderrrrrrrrrrfil

My first thought after the 4 month preservation and seeing it was under fruit pies was could it possibly mean the meat from nuts? Here often times the flesh of walnuts and such is referred to as meat. 🤔 200 years ago the common methods for preserving was salt, smoking, or even in some cases a primitive version of canning using butter. Just a thought. 🤷‍♀️

Where is the science with the 4 months supply? Im super curious.

Could it be they had meat in it to get rid of meat they had to consume before it got bad? I mean meat was a luxury at some point, having it spoil was terrible

Why add fresh grapes?

I saw someone else but I too would love to see it done with lamb and the fruits in the Order there supposed to be. Just for comparison.

Hi Ann, so enjoy this one. Actually, my mom-in-law makes Minced Meat pie every year. When the first I heard ( I'm from Indonesia now in US)...my reaction is what on earth ???

Know I am very late on this - but you can't sub fresh grapes for raisons - that is a completely different taste profile.

Probably misstranslated. Likely they mean "Met Beer" or at very least "dried ham" You cant store Meat without Salt for long

You're great at rolling R's!

it’s the old violin music and the accent for me 😭😂💀

They likely wouldve kept it in a cellar, which are slightly cold.

i love the way ann says cook especially in her 'olden day accent' but also generally it's just so satisfying

3:00 haha

When she was like “(old timey accent) Or it will be soddened” (loses old timey accent) “in other words preheat ur oven to 180 degrees”

why is she adding whole ass grapes to it - sincerely a Brit

SOoooo... Almost 4 years later, whatever happened to the room temperature jar of mince? The world may never know!!!

Your voice is so comforting. I love this channel!

I love your channel so much! I tell people about it all the time. Ive been watching you all morning, in one you talked about my cupcake addiction and that shes not creating anymore. I miss Elise, my daughter and I have been watching both of you.

The extra posh reading voice has me in stitches! Also, the editing in this video is great!

This reminds me of that Friends episode when Rachel puts beef in the trifle

majority: OOH FRUIT PIE me: OOH ACCENT

Seeing them two is so cute

needed more lard

I don't think they kept it at room temperature? There was a basement in most houses and instead of fridge they put stuff to keep there. I don't think fresh grapes will serve well because raisins are dehydrated.

that moment of hesitation 🤣

Fruit mince actually does really have the peel not just the zest.

Dave's face when Ann mentioned he didn't like one of her mom's pie's. The look of panic, like "Ann, stop it. I'm scared of her."🤣

Anyone reminded of the “Friends” episode with the trifle? What’s not to like?!?

The inside of nuts I think is called the meat of it, could it have meant nuts? I am probably way off but it has me so surprised haha

Dave is an optimist!

I’ve always wondered about the origins of “mince-meat pie,” a favorite of my grandmother’s, dreaded by us.

i love how Dave is just feasting on it lol

It tastes like feet!

you shuold make more clever or nevers. they are sooooooooooooo funny

Id like to know whatever happend to that set aside mince filling?

What happened to the jar of mince and fruit you put aside? Nvrmd I read comments to find out

Sounds disgusting

You're so dedicated ❤️

Fruit and meat in one receipe😨. That's an abomination 😎😀

Fake accent sounds like reading a witchcraft book 😀😀😀

I wouldn't eat that after 3 or 4 days. As someone who cans I assure you it will make you very sick

The mincemeat wasn't made with raw meat. It was cooked meat. Had you made it correctly, with cooked meat and raisens it would have come out correctly.

This fake accent is very annoying

From where did u get that book

Meat with fruits.... Must be weird taste for my mind...

So Rachel indeed was right meat in sweety dish ,Any F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans here.
