Who Doesn’t Love a Mince Meat Tart?

It’s that time when we start thinking of mistletoe and holly and … mincemeat tarts! Take a look at the Mincemeat Tart Page, documenting Roy’s writing of this now classic Christmas tune. You can listen to several different incarnations, see the lyrics, read about how it came to be, and check out James Barber’s recipe.
