Pies

I was watching England play football one night in Estonia, and saw a "Pukka Pies" ad up round the ground. Which country eats pies except the UK? Which country's got an obesity problem? So, we're in the wrong part of the hemisphere to grow mediterranean vegetables - so we're not like the Italians or the French, we haven't (historically) grown the veg and the olives (for oil) that will benefit us. So what do we do? Stick everything in fucking pastry. And do you know what a commercial pie manufacturer is doing? Mediterranean PIES!!! Oxymoron!! Or just moronic! Cornflake pie, anyone? And do you know what I saw on " The Great British Menu"? Fucking rabbit and crayfish pie. Together. Hello, anyone, want a stodgy pastry kill-your-heart stuffed with a cuddly, fluffy animal and something that thinks it's a lobster?? Bleurgh. Ok. Historically it was peasant's food. But why do we have to put pastry around everthing, and why is that innately British? I haven't eaten anything vaguely pie-y for years. Wouldn't cross my mind. But then when I drive round daily, I see "workmen", pies in hand, at lunchtime. WHY??????????????????????????? What the fuck do pies offer? Perhaps it's a girl thing. I just don't see the point. And I'm gutted that it's our nation's food.Sums us up. Stodgy. Slow. Difficult to digest. A danger to your health
