Speaking of Mince Pies....
I heard that it is illegal to eat Mince Pies on Christmas in the UK. Something to do with gluttony?!!? Not sure I'm only British in distant heritage.
We in the US have mince pie, but it's a different filling. Ours is a mock mice (no meat or lard) and has diced apples, raisins, citrus pieces, spices, spirits/wine, shortening or butter, and sometimes nuts and other fruit
Traditional would be made with lard, beef suet, venison or other meats in addition to the fruits etc. mentioned above.
Back OT with BA....I wonder if it's "legal" to serve/eat on a BA flight to or from UK on Xmas day?
