Wedding brawl started over pork pie

[perplexed]

I booked into an 'inexpensive' hotel the night before a charidee bike ride a few years ago. My heart sank:

A) When I saw the state of the dump
B) When I looked at the surrounding area
C) When on the 'events' board, I noted a wedding reception booked in a function room
D) When I saw there was an 18th birthday party in the other function room

Sure enough, I had no sleep at all after remonstrating with stupid adolescents a number of times in the early hours interspersed with watching the numerous riot vans/police cars/dog handlers quell the minor rioting in the car park...

Nope.

I have had a pie free February - a most unsatisfactory state of affairs that I intend to partially remedy this Thursday by attempting to make pasties for the first time.

Plan B is to go on a pie mission to Darlington via Thirsk on Saturday.

Plan C is to make pasties on Thursday and go on the pie mission on Saturday.

Pasties is a most unsatisfactory kind of pie. As is Pizza.

I see it as a spectrum broadening educational exercise for my muslim students who have had restricted exposure to all things encased in a crust.

You could try the Muslim Bean Pie (apparently created by the Nation of Islam, and sold to raise cash.)

I just don't understand why a good pork pie is wasted on the heathens at that wedding party. Forget the flooding, forget Syria, forget world pestilence - this is a real tragedy

I think that this bride to be looks appreciative of her wedding pork pie.

No, no, no, no, no, on many counts.....

A) It's a flan
B) There's no meat in it
C) It's sweet
D) It doesn't resemble anything that is English and pie shaped
E) It doesn't resemble anything that is Cornish and pasty shaped
F) It's American
G) It uses pre-made pie crusts

My muslim pie club want halal pies and pasties not namby pamby confectionary.

Love at first sight - it actually happens

Have you fallen in love with bride or the pies?

There was a bride?

 

[biggs682]

i like pork pies but wouldnt fight for one but then i wouldnt get married for one either

 

[Gravity Aided]

I take exception to the characterization of pasties as unsatisfactory. I see pork as preferable, as well as chicken, but pasties are excellent as well.

I was staying at a hotel in Coventry a few years ago when there was a Sikh Wedding on. Have to say it was the most entertaining wedding I've ever seen. I sat on the balcony on a warm summer's evening, watching captivated as the two sides of the family re-enacted West Side Story, Bollywood style. I don't know who the Jets were and who were the Sharks but it was all good stuff. When the police arrived, both families put on a show of solidarity and chased them out of the car park.

The girls from my halal pie club brought me a gift today...

It was a struggle getting through them all.....



But I succeeded.
