"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Dad loved mince meat. Somewhere there is a recipe for the homemade version, but Mother usually used store bought canned mince meat. She preferred to bake cake over pie, so when Dad, a huge Mark Twain fan, found this recipe, it became a favorite for both of them.
