  I really shouldn't like mince pies, as I don't like dried fruit, but funnily enough, I do. I can't stand christmas cake or pudding though, I don't even like the smell

  i used to hate them, because i thought they had real mince in them, and i actually said to my friend one year (not that long ago either :razz: ) 'eww mince pies, why would anyone eat sweet pastry and cold meat? how can that be nice?'
  
  so erm. now that i know they've not got real meat in them, iv tried them and i still dont like them. haha.

  You do know that they were traditionally made with real meat? They were a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices.

  I like mince pies. Warm with cream/ice cream . I also like Christmas pudding (again, warm with cream/ice cream). But I HATE Christmas cake, because I don't really like fruit cake. I don't like marzipan either, so it's like...ew.
