Mince Pies...Jamie Oliver style

At this time of year in the UK you can hardly turn around without someone shoving a plate of mince pies at you. Contrary to what the name suggests, these are actually vegetarian confections, a little sweet tart filled with 'mincemeat' (a bizarre mix of dried fruits, raisins, miscellaneous spices, etc.)

By mid-December, everyone in the country is thoroughly sick of the sight of them, and yet they still buy them and serve them at Xmas parties -- a weird form of obsessive sadism/masochism.

Anyway, I cam across this video online, and thought I would share it with you all. It is truly a remarkable achievement, coming dangerously close to making me actually want to make a batch of mince pies.

See what you think.
