Not a single one. I dont even know what 'mince' is: a kind of small rodents (like mice)?, a way of mixing ingredients?, The name of whoever was first to make one?
I’ve no idea. Children leave a mince pie for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. They’re made from dried fruit and pastry and lots of sugar. They taste good. That’s all I know.
have had it but didn't like it so much. What is Minced Pie anyway?
Yikes...I just looked it up. minced meat, suet, a range of fruits, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

A mince pie is a sweet pie of British origin, filled with a mixture of dried fruits and spices called "mincemeat", that is traditionally served during the Christmas season in the English-speaking world. Its ingredients are traceable to the 13th century, when returning European crusaders brought with them Middle Eastern recipes containing meats, fruits and spices.

Typically its ingredients were a mixture of minced meat, suet, a range of fruits, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Served around Christmas, the savoury Christmas pie (as it became known) was associated with supposed Catholic "idolatry" and during the English Civil War was frowned on by the Puritan authorities. Nevertheless, the tradition of eating Christmas pie in December continued through to the Victorian era, although by then its recipe had become sweeter and its size markedly reduced from the large oblong shape once observed. Today the mince pie remains a popular seasonal treat enjoyed by many across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
