Mincemeat pie A traditional pie from a mixture of chopped dried fruit,<br/> distilled spirits and spices, and originally also meat. Starting with M.
The answer is: Mincemeat pie
The "mince" in mincemeat comes from the Middle English mincen, and the Old French mincier both traceable to the Vulgar Latin minutiare and Latin minutia meaning smallness. The word mincemeat is an adaptation of an earlier term minced meat, meaning finely chopped meat. Meat was also a term for food in general, not only animal flesh.

Mincemeat is also used idiomatically, meaning to destroy completely, as in "she made mincemeat of her opponent's argument during the debate."
Many modern Mincemeat recipes contain beef suet, though vegetable shortening is sometimes used in its place.
