Sainsbury’s medium pork pies

Our fifth new pie in a row was the object of the appetite creating walk on Sunday 18th. Giada brought her boyfriend, Mickey, along – a trail hound with a voice & a half! The nine of us and two dogs set off from Mileham, and soon we were walking through fields of chest high oilseed rape. We initially thought this was yet another one of Ricky’s commando training exercises – advancing on heavy artillery, after last week’s encounter with small arms. The artillery turned out only to be bird scarers! The church at Tittleshall provided the lunch stop and two scratch dials for the collection.

We now only had two miles to walk to this week’s pies. The Sainsbury’s medium pork pies "with cured seasoned pork filling" had a low profile, slicing easily. This revealed a smooth pink filling with no jelly and no taste! The pastry was crisp though to rescue this pie, scoring 5.777 with a very high standard deviation of 1.20185. So a normalised 6 for Sainsbury’s medium pies. We washed the poor pie from our palate with a beer at the Brisley Bell on the way home.
