"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
I am not sure if anyone but my Dad, Papa Pete, ever ate this pie, but Grandma would make it for him every Christmas. I tasted it once and it was a little too rich for me as a child, but I have had mincemeat cookies as an adult and I like the taste. I remember when the pie came out of the oven. The scent of it baking will always remain a Christmas memory for me. I remember how excited my Dad was for this special pie, and how his brothers-in-law would always tease Grandma and say that he was her favorite.
