Parrot of Doom - What's wrong with the Publisher/Works being changed from " independent.co.uk / bbc.co.uk to "The Independent" / "BBC"?,
Most works/publisher cites (not all but most) I've seen most go by the company name instead of websites which is why I changed it yesterday,

Because "The Independent" and www.independent.co.uk carry different content. Online articles change, while printed articles do not. I believe it's better to use the url format to indicate the publisher. I've used this format on dozens of FAs and GAs without complaint. May I also point you toward WP:CITEVAR.

That is true but I thought the publisher would be "The Independent" not "www.independent.co.uk" if you see what I'm saying ... What I'm trying to say is I thought everything (printed and online) went by for instance "The Independent" .... not "www.independent.co.uk" ?, Well to be fair I guess you know what the fuck you're talking about , Well until about 2 hours ago I wasn't even aware of CITEVAR, All these bloody policies –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 20:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

The publisher may well be The Independent but using independent.co.uk makes it more obvious that it's the website being cited, not the newspaper. For instance, I've seen some people cite BBC Worldwide to the BBC, when the two are separate organisations. So I prefer to keep things more accurate by using urls.

In comic book

• Scrooge McDuck loves eating mince pie -although it gives him nightmares {losing wealth} Disney Golden Key Digest # 21 April 1970

What are blood raisins?

The text mentions "In the north of England, goose was used in the pie's filling, but more generally neat's tongue was also used; a North American filling recipe published in 1854 includes chopped neat's tongue, beef suet, blood raisins, currants, mace, cloves, nutmeg, brown sugar, apples, lemons, brandy and orange peel." There is a link from blood raisins, but it links to raisins and there is no mention of this word. What does it mean? --Bernburgerin (talk) 19:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Crust?

There's no mention of what the crust/shell is. I was going to add a mention of it being shortcrust pastry, but wasn't sure if that's only a British thing or more universal — does anyone know? DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:08, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

The Druid and ...

" ... and yet it is often forbidden, the Druid of the family." -- What does this mean? Stephanie from Germany --Stephanie Do (talk) 16:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Stephanie Do, : I think the writer means that the mince pie is forbidden, in the same way that a druid would be in the family of a clergyman. MichaelMaggs (talk) 17:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
