yes and no.....
1) there used to be but isn't any more
2) the term meat was used to refer to food in general, not just that gained from animals -e.g. the meat from nuts. mincemeat just meant minced food when the term was coined.
I will try to find the link to the research I did about this, but basically these days it's just dried fruit (raisind, golden raisins, currants), dried mixed citrus peal, citrus juice and fresh peel, spices, flour, egg, suet, sugar brandy.
