Entire History of America Related Through A Pie

Interesting read.

Last year I had what was supposedly mince pie that was a traditional family recipe from some of my parents' waspy friends from Rhode Island. I thought it was pretty lousy. Super heavy, dry, and kinda bland in that it was loaded with spices yet nothing that would count as seasoning. I made sense of it at the time as the kind of dish you might enjoy as an 1880's British patriot who could appreciate the imperial spectacle of uniting all these exotic spices into a loosemeat pie.

I may have gotten a dud. Now I wanna make one.

Frankly the entire article, like US History, made more sense once I read how much Brandy or Rum they wanted in one of the recipes.

Makes me wonder if Wisconsin stopped making mince pies and just drank the brandy or was always just drinking the brandy.

As a podcast listener, I am compelled by the subliminal messages to share that if you want to make Rhode Island slightly more interesting, listen to the first season of the Crimetown podcast. Great story about corruption in Providence.
