Mince pie !

[RedLoredAmazon]

I just got home from a weekend in London.
We flew hand luggage only.
On the way out my case weighed 5.7kgs.
On the way back it weighed 7.8kgs.

The only things I bought were 2 pairs of socks, and rather a lot of hot cross buns and mince pies - eat them when you can get them is what I say!

That's nothing! Our friend's mother would bring a whole ham, potatoes, olive oil, and various other foods in her suitcase when she flew to visit. She kept all of her clothes and personal items in a small bag.

Quick question: Are mince pies made of mincemeat? If so, no thank you! My mom would make it with green tomatoes (no alcohol too) and then turn it into cookies. I can't stand the taste of mincemeat.
