Rules should be: 1) Pastry topped (full or partial) 2) Can have additives flavours (brandy for example which is kind of a mincemeat variant) but if it's not a mincemeat ingredient - like chocolate for example - then adding it makes it something different to mincemeat and thus not a mince pie at the end. So not on the total.
