I placed a lot of faith in the recipe to deliver the goods and my faith was repaid with interest. The owner of the shop, Guru, hosting the pie muncher's flash mob event rated the pie best of the bunch and considering it was up against pies scoring 8s, 9s and 10s on the Vernon pie-ometer - that's some accolade. Immodestly I also awarded it a 10.
My pie supplying activities were acknowledged by Guru's owner by giving me a generous discount on a hat and giving me a free imitation dog turd, a whoopee cushion, a set of devil horns and a satan wand.
I'm particularly fond of the hat:
Oh and for those who doubt the health giving benefits of pie, this is Beryl Guru's owner. She's the only woman I know that will eat pie for breakfast. She is seventy.
