Tesco now!

Oh! Pie! Golden Pie there is none so fair
Puts hairs on your chest and curls in your hair
Care not for those who would cast a doubt
Tescos and Lidls are both completely sold out

And who has made off with this wonderous haul?
Probably the French, I shouldn't wonder at all
They're tired of the Moules, the Snails and even the wine
They buy FB's by the dozen and go home to dine.

The ferries are full and the tunnel is packed
with scurrying Frenchies with FB's neatly stacked
While we poor Brits, what do we eat, the question it begs
and you know what you can do with your bloody Frogs Legs.

;) ;)
 
Makes pot noodles seem like the ambrosia of the gods - I regard FB pies as something to sentence particularly nasty criminals with, or in survival conditions to use as bait for something edible, or at least whack an actual animal over the head with it.
 
Excellent ditty. Vivre la difference!

A little of what ya fancy does you no harm, FB incl. just ' dilute' it with lots of veggies, east, quick, cold wet night instant fix ...for a change.

Mind you , that ' galloping gourmet' bloke, maybe he knew more...? Think it was the booze not the pies that killed 'im...
 
I won £10 off a fellow angler in Alderney last year. I said I was sure that the tiny supermarket just up from quay sold FBs, he said there was no way that any self respecting super would sell them. A tenner was waged, we opened the door of the super to find two whole racks of FBs in about six different flavours. So fellow yotties, it's off to Alderney for your stores :)
 
FB;

not while I still have my breath.

Paul Hogan ( he of ' Crocodile Dundee ' ) did a great sketch about the Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr - who was also a yottie - " I dropped the cork - slurp ! " but it doesn't seem to be available.
