Where do mince pies get their name from?

There is a difference between what you call a mince pie. For the sake of this answer, we will look at the Christmas mince pie which is consumed around the holiday period. The Christmas mince pie does not contain mince although it does contain meat in the form of suet which is beef fat. Christmas mince pies contain, dried fruit and spices and originate from the coronation of King Henry V in 1413.They were banned by Oliver Cromwell and when they returned they were reduced in size to what you eat today, usually 6 - 7.5cm's. Out of interest... The government of Pitt the younger formed on 18 December 1783 was satirically dubbed the mince-pie administration as it was widely believed that it would not last until Christmas.
