Will he notice?

[NoMercy]

I've got a bit of a dilemma. My aunt has asked me to cook a steak pie for my uncle, and being the parsimonious person she is, she didn't give me enough ingredients to make a decent sized pie. So I've been rifling around my Nan's cupboards and I've come across a tin of Winalot Meaty Duos. Nan doesn't have a dog, so she must have had it in for when she's dogsitting or something. Anyway, I've opened the can and I must say I am mightily impressed. The contents of said can are almost indistinguishable from those of a Fray Bentos pie, and since Uncle Barry is only one chromosome away from Ramapithicus, he doesn't have the most discerning palate in the world. Suffice it to say, he wouldn't even notice if I put a can of tesco's value dog meat in there. But I wouldn't sink so low as to put that slop in his pie. Nope, if Barry's going to eat dog food, then only the very best dog food shall he eat. I don't do economy ! So.. should I use the Winalot and just pray to God Almighty that nobody else fancies a slice? Or just stick a couple of extra chopped parsnips in there?

Give him the dog food for sure... And tell him it's a 'novelty' pie.

[NoMercy]

Aye up, NoKnow...

[NoMercy]

I'm liking your idea, China. Should I make a few pastry shapes to decorate the top of the pie?

He's a mad Motorhead fan, and a big time trainspotter. He also plays with himself occasionally.

Are you sure your nan was dog sitting or does she regularly bake pies for you ??? Is you coat looking very shiny recently ?

[NoMercy]

Peri... I thought it was the Pantene !!

Right... I'm going to have words with that old trout...

[sara3]

which old trout?

[NoMercy]

My Nan... looks like she should have gone to specsavers...

[pericat]

I wouldnt bother NoM - not if its benefiting your hair !

[China Doll]

Absolutely! You could put a little doggie head on the top.... My nan used to put my initals on my pasty and a leaf (randomly).

[sara3]

oh sorry, I thought you meant... no, forget it ;o)

Have you had urges to cock your leg up against a lamp post?

[ummmm]

Are you drunk again Poodi?

[NoMercy]

I think Nan still has Thomas the tank engine pastry cutters. That ought to get him excited....

[snags]

I fed my Mum's dog the other day. Opened the tin: there were peas, carrots, beans and cubes of what looked like 'real' meat in there, all nestling in a sumptuous gravy... for a split second I was tempted...

[NoMercy]

Jan... I did get down on all fours and sniff around a lamp post this morning. Do you think I should get some help?

[Jan1957]

Definitely or it will be bums next!

[NoMercy]

Crikey Jan.... you've got a good point there. Woof.
