for those of who who are confused by the Minced Meat (cow flesh) vs Mincemeat (fruity pies) issue...
the origin of the fruity mincemeat pie dates back several hundred years. In ye olde englishe "meat" did not specifically refer to flesh, but was a generic term for "food", "sustenance" or "fodder"... the expression "sweet meats" means simply "sweet food"
it is only in modern times that "meat" came to mean specifically animal flesh |

Not only water but salted water to bind it better to the meat.
Also salt is used in other meat produces to give it a redish appeticing look, otherwise it'd be grey, only problem is this salt in excessive doses cause cancer. What possible problem, other than the blatant scam comes from sal****ering down our meat I don't know.

Was several years ago now but did a job (not as a butcher, was fixing some meatcutter for them) behind the counter at a butcher, one employed there come in with lots of pre-packed minced meat from the store.
He unpacked it all, dumped it into the grinder and 're-grinded' the meat to remove the bad looking colours and get a new date on the package.
And this was at a butcher that has a very good reputation...

Its all true... Its the same with Bacon and Ham. Most meat in Europe these days is injected with salty water. The excuse is the salt in the water is use to help preserve the meat...
