Thinking about it, it's not just apple pie or jam turnovers for that matter but pastry itself. My son Dewi is doing GCSE food tech (cookery!) and has to prepare a meal. He was sorting it out last night and asked what does "trim and pinch" mean. I was immediately able to tell him as I've watched my mother a thousand times place the rolled out pastry over the plate (she used to use a pyrex one), trim off the excess, then having added the apple (always very mushy - just like this series I guess) and the top layer of pastry, she would pinch around before putting those all important two leaves in the centre. Ah, nostalgia. It's just not what it used to be. |
