Bloody typical.

The guy lives in Evesham and it's headlines in the Evesham Journal today a week after it appears in the Daily Wail.

I assumed this must be a second occurence.

No wonder local papers are going under.

Unfortunately these things happen from time to time. Best/worst one I have seen was a complete mouse in a sliced loaf. Hasn't stopped me eating bread.

Best one I heard was the guy who ate most of a pie until he saw the mouse's tail in the remaining portion.....

I assume the Evesham Journal is still a weekly newspaper (it was when I was brought up in the Vale)

My first thoughts exactly. To hazard a FB pie for yourself at sea is one thing; to serve it up as dinner to your family land-side is a dreadful shame. I'd have done anything to keep an incident like that out of the papers.

Quite! And the publicity + retention of the evidence smacks of compo claim.

Yes it is so I'm being a bit unfair. It came out today and I spotted it in Tescos.

Where were you brought up? We live on the old Abbey Manor Park Estate. Evesham people often know it because of the weddings they used to hold at the Manor House and the Leicester Tower folly which is in our "garden".

I think he only went to the press because he was fobbed off.

On the other hand, wikipedia suggests the name derives from "Friar Benedict".

Need to get the story straight -

"When he looked more closely at the dish he was shocked to discover three maggots crawling out of the filling. "

"The three maggots found in the pie were dead. The best before date on the tin was January 2017."

Ah! Zombi maggots. Only in a F-B pie

Dash it, beaten to it.

What's worse than finding a maggot/slug in your lettuce?

Half of one!
