Just made a mince pie today. I LOVE them, as does my sister. Most people have strong opinions, IMO, mostly against, more so than other pies. So I'm taking a scientific poll.
When I first moved to the little city I'm in now none of my co-workers had any idea what a mince pie was or what it tasted like. I thought that was pretty unusual.

My grandmother used to make them and we were all from West Tennessee/North Mississippi. I don’t think it’s a regional thing. Maybe it’s more of a generational thing
I was made to eat mincemeat pie as a child. Nobody can make me eat it now!
I have some stores that will make them and they are very very good..
in fact we had one old store that shipped mincemeat pies all over the world...the owner was invited on the david lettermen show... years ago .. but he refused to go on..
Fruit cake and mince pies are horrible memories from the past. Now being a native Floridian, I'll take a key lime pie or key lime cheese pie any time, with pecan running a close second. You can't make a key lime pie with out key limes!
Growing up the only pies we ever had on Thanksgiving and Christmas were pumpkin and mince meat. I thought mince meat was weird so stuck to pumpkin. Once, as an adult, I made a real mince meat pie from scratch. Spoiled brat was in 7th heaven, so was his mom. I don't think anyone else liked it. If I remember right I thought of giving the left overs to the dog but was afraid he might give it right back to me
Mince pie is something I always make for Christmas. Our family is English, so I guess that’s why. Kind of the same flavor as plum pudding, so i wouldn’t serve both.
