He was waxing lyrical about the mince pies one of the team had brought in - mentioning that the pastry had orange in it and there was a small dollop of sweetened cream cheese on top of the mincemeat, under the pastry lid. I recognised that description - the recipe is from a 40-year-old cookbook, Cooking for Christmas by Josceline Dimbleby that Sainsbury's published. My edition is from 1981, cost 75p and is much be-splattered I can confirm that the mince pies are second to none and I'll be making a batch this weekend. I'm not going to bother with commercial ones this year. Made my first batch of these this morning. I confess that in recent years I've used Jusrol pastry but today I went back to the original recipe and made my own pastry with butter and lard. OMG I'd forgotten how good homemade pastry made with a bit of lard can be. +2, so 465
