You know that bit in The L-Shaped Room when they paint Jane’s flat, and John says it ‘Looks good, smells bad’, and then Jane thinks the opposite could be applied to his cooking – but that it also tastes delicious? Well, the same could be said about my mince pies.
They look alright here, don’t they? But in the oven …
Poor misshapen little pies!
There is only one remedy I can think of …
… plentiful icing sugar and just-mulled wine. Cheers!

Oh no, they look lovely! One of the many things I hate about shop-bought mince pies is the dreadful uniformity. Bet they taste great too.
