mincemeat
Fruited pie stuffing
Mincemeat is a mixture of chopped dried fruits, spices, sugar, and suet, traditionally used as pie filling—especially in British Christmas mince pies.
Despite the name, modern mincemeat rarely contains actual meat, though historical versions did.
To make mincemeat of someone is to defeat or destroy them utterly: The defense attorney made mincemeat of the witness's testimony.
