Frank Spurgeon

Mothering Sunday saw us hossing out to Lyng a little later than usual to search for scratch dials, of which there were none, and to work up an appetite for the pork pie tasting. We saw the first new lambs of the year and visited the church with the widest column less nave in East Anglia, possibly the UK, at Elsing. Returning to the cars parked in the Lyng Leisure Centre’s car park for our ‘Rave’ – music from Keith Skues on the wireless and Tea, Canapés and Pork Pies from Frank Spurgeon were consumed before we could be evicted. The pies only have had one previous tasting, 8 months ago at Irstead. The pies had good appearance and a fine textured filling with a little jelly. A good pie scoring 8.1 with quite a high standard deviation of 0.73786, so again Frank Spurgeon scores a normalised 8. Previously when we tasted these pies on the 5th June they scored 8.14286 with a much lower standard deviation of 0.24398.
