Actually, they originated from the east end of London in the late 18th century.

Real meat was very hard to get hold of in those days so the market traders used to substitute the meat with eyes, hence the rhyming slang 'mince pies'. The taste of the eyes was so bad that they used to disguise the taste by heavily spicing the mixture and sweetening it with sugar.

Not a lot of people know that.

In Medieval England a large mince pie was always baked. However, they were filled with all sorts of shredded meat along with spices and fruit. This recipe only changed in Victorian times when the shredded meat was left out.

Nah mate, you've been sniffing too much linseed oil putty. Named after the eyes they used to use to make em with. Everybody used to be violently ill until they took out the eyes and added the mixed fruit. King Ethelred passed a decree that, from that point forward, the use of eyes in a mince pie would be punishable by death. Or, having your eyes pulled out.

Right, King Ethelred was 11th century so was he 700 years old when he banned eyes in mince pies

And linseed oil putty,which I presume is a reference to my job as a glazer.
I am a commercial glazer,and haven't used putty in 20 years

Well, he was certainly no spring chicken.  

And I agree, why don't people glaze properly these days? All this namby pamby gasket glazing and tape and silicone. I remember when glaziers has to knock the ice off the putty bucket at this time of year and still knock the stuff up before they could start work.

Just around the time that King Ethelred died.
