Taste Test the two MM Recipes

Well, here it is, where the rubber meets the road; at the top, being a wee bit blond, is the new comer; though an older recipe, by probably 30-40 years, it is a plain Jane, unpretentious, not out to impress; the older recipe that has been used for the past 10 years or more, is a standard modern day MM that gets it's beginning at the turn of the century, 19th to 20th that is; it is loaded with spices and fruit, and is not ashamed to be known as a Traditional English MM Recipe; so, which is best,
    the Traditional Recipe, Dark Colour, the spices are most noticeable in the taste, and the amount of fruit gives it a chewy texture; whereas, the Light Coloured, Older Recipe, has a tangy flavour, imparted by the two main ingredients, Lemon, and Black Currant, it is less chewy, but more of a savory; either should do well at the dinner, for those that like Mince Meat, but I am thinking that for those that don't, if they try either, the Blond will make new friends ;-)
     my own opinion: I am looking forward to having the blond bomb next year as a 1 year old; she may just unseat the other one as a favourite;
