Before the mince pie was the mince pie, it was the 'chewette'. The chewette lived in medieval England, and contained the potent mix of chopped liver, boiled eggs, and ginger. This was a delicacy to medievalites, who were in the habit of sampling barley water and the occasional salted pigs’ ear.

At the Bourke Street Bakery, there is no chopped liver, but there are a lot of piggies gazing in the window at sugar-dusted pies. Once you’ve had one of the pastry covered parcels filled with a sweet mix of chopped fruit you will never go back to the supermarket six packs. Even though they are good value. And the credit card sure does take a beating around this time of year.
