Traditionally eaten at Christmas in the UK, Mince Pies contain no meat. While the spicy dried fruit filling is called mincemeat, commercially produced pies have 0% meat content. However, as the name implies, originally chunks or minced cuts of lamb, or other meats, and the ingredients were based on Arab foods and spices brought back to Britain by 13th Century Crusaders.

During the English Civil War, to the Puritan authorities, the mince pie was seen as being associated the Catholic Idolatry, and subsequently it was illegal to eat them.
