Several years ago I sent an email to the the awfully nice people at Pukka admiring one of their posters. It depicted a pie in place of London's Millennium Dome, under the slogan "Millenni-Yum!" They sent me a (free!) laminated poster, which I treasure.

Deepdale (PNE) has the 'butter pie', which is a football ground godsend to vegetarians on a cold Saturday in January. (You would, wouldn't you?)

I have always wondered why Cornish Pasties are not used as canapes at PR bashes. They are perfect for holding and chatting and about a million times more fun than strips of sorry looking tomatoes served up on stringy cheese.

Maybe Pukka could cut a deal with a big PR organisation too.

Would like to see more vegetarian pies in the Pukka range. The closest I have ever got to renouncing two decades of abstinence from eating meat was at a Championship ground on a freezing February saturday. At that time those S and K pies sure smelt good

Oh, yes, and the sexual nature of Pukka pies is all the more confounding. But then again, any food that is named after stripper's garb....

I am reminded of a story I told when in London:

One of my favorite Calvin Trillin pieces in The New Yorker covered an oyster festival in a firehouse in the bayou. The bivalve-loving firefighters delighted in confounding oyster haters by convincing the fearful that the REAL man’s way to consume an oyster is to suck it up your nose. That, Trillin said, seemed just logical to an oyster hater as swallowing it in your mouth.

I wonder whether you are the firefighter trying to convince me that you can slurp a Pukka pie.

I demand to see a demonstration.
