Mince Pies

For more than 100 years in England, mince pies were the center of theological discussion and Puritanical

clergymen preached to their flocks to abstain from this unholy fare. We are happy to say that by the time the

English arrived in Nova Scotia, the mince pie had been cleansed of all sin and was able to take a place of

honour on the pie shelf.
