Waitrose Lattice pork pie

We opened the batting on Sunday the 5th with a Waitrose Lattice pork pie after a shaded walk round West Runton, on a very hot day. This pie was tasted “naked” – I forgot to bring the mustard! The pie’s appearance was good, having a pleasing pink meaty filling. The proof is in the eating though… a very lardy pastry let this pie down and I’m sure the addition of mustard would have levitated its score… however this pie scored 6.857142857 and with “normalisation” scored a 7 on the pie board – I don’t think the mustard would have pushed it up above a 7.5. For the statisticians the score had a standard deviation of 0.748013242.
