I think it was Tom & Jerry, but it may have been some other cartoon with a cat & mouse where the cat always told the mouse he was going to make mince meat out of him. Well, one Christmas my mom said she was going to make mince meat pie. I said "There's no way I'm going to eat a pie made out of mice!"
