If I ever become the Great Pumpkin, I'll make all onions vanish off the planet for ever.

The German connection might be why I had it in the past. On my mother's side.

No, no, send the onions all my way. Along with all the Garlic. I go through a head of Garlic very day or every other day as well as 2 or 3 onions. And it is just the wife and I. I think Thanksgiving (turkey for 2) dinner had about 25 cloves of garlic in it. :fan::fan::fan:

Not all that surprising really. My Grandfather was born in Iowa, his brother was born in Germany. When their parents immigrated to the U.S. they decided to assimilate in to the new culture and forego their own customs and such. I never had authentic German foods because of that. I fear that I have missed a whole culture and their food. Thankfully, the wife's side of the family is German/Ukrainian and know the dishes.

My Uncle came home from WW2 with a German "war bride". Not only German but from Ea Germany. Created quite a stir in our little home town. Anyhow - she made some fantastic food. Real mince meat pie being just one item.
My mothers side NEVER heard of mince meat pie. Being pure bred Norwegian - Lute Fisk & Leftsa.

I think the world wars had something to do with trying to assimilate and hide their culture. Even so, there is/was such a large number of Germans in the area, you could hear German spoken from time to time, when i was a child. Went back to the area, to bury a relative and a local woman put me up at her house. She was a very interesting person, very sharp at 100 years old. She ask me my mother's name, and being such a small town, she remembered her and asked me if my mom still had German, meaning spoke German. I told her she had passed a number of years ago, but yes she did. She was so sweet, told me all the history and people that used to live there. Sang me a "good bye" song in German, when i left.

Sweet story. I never heard my Grandpa or his brother speak German and never even knew I had German roots until I was grown.

I like mincemeat in smaller doses like tarts. I make them by the dozen as soon as the "mincemeat" becomes available. However, the only "mincemeat" I have access to is either Nonesuch or Crosse & Blackwell and neither one have meat. So, if anyone has or comes across a recipie for real mincemeat that they're willing to share, please let me know.
