    This meme does meat pies dirty (unless “mincemeat pie” is one of those horribly deceptive terms like “mince pie”)

      The more savory a pie gets, the more I like it. Pumpkin pie is okay. Mince meat is fine. Turkey is great!

        Pumpkin pie is the devil.

        But there is something amazing about chicken/turkey pot pies or other savory pies in that vein.

        Then I take it back. I have never been as disappointed as the first time I was offered a “mince” pie

          Mincemeat it is made from dried fruit and booze.

          S’far as I can tell it’s the filing in mince pie.

          But like. Ew. No way there’s enough booze in there to make that sound attractive.

            I guess, if you don’t like raisins and currants? It’s just a fruit pie, I don’t really see what’s so horrible about that. It’d be more understandable if we were talking about a fly cemetery, a similar pastry with a much more interesting name.

              It’s a texture thing, for me. and I’m particular about the booze I put in my food. it sometimes gives weird flavors.

        Mincemeat is not the same, at least where I’m from… Mincemeat is dried fruit and spices, no meat

          Where I’m from “mince pie” is dried fruit and spices, while “mince” is equivalent to the US ground beef (or less commonly other meats), and a “meat pie” is made from beef mince.

          It made for frustrating Christmasses as a child because mini meat pies (“party pies”) are delicious and available at every other celebration.

          Thankfully that’s not the case here in NZ. Otherwise the rather popular mince-n-cheese pie would be weird.

          Today, ‘mincemeat’ as a term by itself, is unusual. It’s usually either just ‘mince’ (meat) or ‘fruit-mince’ (not meat).

      (1/2)×θ×r^2

      is the area of a circle sector, like a slice of pie.

      (1/2)×sin(θ)×side1×side2

      is the side-angle-side formula for the area of a triangle.

      We know that the triangle encompassed by the sector has two sides that are equal to the radius, so we replace side1×side2 with r^2. Since the area of the arc segment is equal to the area of a sector minus the triangle, we can subtract triangle area from sector area to get

      (1/2)×(θ-sin(θ))×r^2

      which is the area of the arc segment, as shown with pie in the picture.
