New Year’s Eve tutti quanti: a retrospective of unexpected cosiness (Mince Pie in a liquid form: En)

“Of meats, I fancy I rather prefer beef for all-around consumption, but like most others pretty well. Fond of sausage—especially the old fashioned baked or fried sort. Like fowl—but white meat only. Can’t bear dark meat. My really favourite meal is the regular old New England turkey dinner, with highly seasoned dressing, cranberry sauce, onions, etc., and mince pie for dessert.”

–HPL in a letter to Robert E Howard, November 7, 1932
It was also a time to try mince pies in liquid form; it was good—moderately spicy and warm, with layers of delicate chocolate smoothness. So, we did greet the Solstice as sincerely as we could.
