No church on this walk, so we had lunch at the kiddies playground in Briston, then afterwards, some played on equipment provided. A short walk round the corner to the Green Man for a pint of IPA and the last few laps of the Grand Prix. Returning to the cars, pie grazing had to be put on hold while the Pie Master had to ferry walkers up the road to a hut selling local produce. After this diversion, King Canape produced a Ricotta & Pancetta flan and Thai spiced chicken in a thinly sliced mooli with a sweet soy dip! Next, the pies kindly supplied by Paul, from M & M Rutland, these were made in-house and without the onion marmalade as sampled at Geldeston on the 29th of April last year. The pies were very fresh being still hot when collected on Saturday. The piecrust was very crumbly when cut and tasted good. The filling too was good, spoilt by being a little over salted. These scored a very respectable 7.68182 with a high standard deviation of 0.92932. Then the biscuit course of Finest Shortbread and a Belgian selection. Then finally to complete this healthy hike in the countryside Liqueur chocolate cherries from Manola. So a normalized 7.5 for M & M Rutland this time.
