Where can I buy mincemeat?

The new expensive market at the Park Van Ness had some jars yesterday.

It's a 1.5 hour drive from D.C. up Rt. 270 and west on Rt. 70, as if you were going to Whitetail Ski resort. believe there's a meat market that sells fresh made mincemeat, but not sure of the name. Google may help. The Amish market in Hagerstown, which is open Thursday-Saturday, was selling mincemeat pies a couple of weeks ago. You might be able to call the bakery over there to double check and maybe reserve a pie or two or get them to sell you a quantity of the mincemeat. They make the pies on the premises. There's an Amish Market in Gaithersburg or Germantown, too. You could check there with a phone call. My brother-in-law makes his own mincemeat. I am no mincemeat fan, but his is delicious. His is beefy, also with the dried fruit. He poaches the beef in whiskey. Of course it's delicious.

Um. They bring it down from Lancaster. It's not a "Hagerstown" tradition.

The Safeway in Georgetown has a whole aisle, Giant Cathedral Park has a whole section as well. First stop should be Rodmans.

Because it isn't 1840.

Haven't bought for a long time and don't remember the brand (a lot of old familiar brands are disappearing) but the one I used to use did have meat. The ingredient list also includes (scattered through the ingredient list) brandy, bourbon, AND alcohol.

Brought back a memory from a very long time ago.
