Eat More Pies!

Pork Pie Song (Tune Delilah by Tom Jones) I saw the pie on the plate as I passed by the kitchen (dah dah dah dah dah dah) I smelt the aroma of pork as it wafted by (dah dah dah dah dah) Pies are my passion I just turned back for the plate and that porky pie My my my porky pie Pork pork pork porky pie I could see This diet was no good for me But I was an addict And I just couldn't break free Later that day once the cook went away I was waiting (dah dah dah dah dah dah) I crossed the hall to the larder and I opened the door (dah dah dah dah dah) I stood there naked I felt the knife in my hand And pork pie was no more My my my porky pie Pork pork pork porky pie So before she comes back to bake 20 more Forgive me Weightwatchers I just couldn't take it no more I stood there scoffing (scoff scoff scoff scoff) I felt the knife in my hand and I broke off some more!

A couple of weeks ago, October 20th to be exact I called in to our local butchers. I wanted something special, explaining that we were celebrating Jon's 14th year in business. Mick, the butcher asked what he did. I explained. "Would he be able to fix my pie machines?" He asked..... To cut a long shory short the answer was YES! The butcher took one of the moulds round to the workshop, Jon had a look at it then Mick invited us to the shop where we could see it in operation. On Wednesday we went and he explained everything...Jon will be refurbishing his machines over the next few weeks. We came away with 4 steak pies. We had to go to Leeds that day to deliver some work to another of Jon's customers, so we took them 2 pies. We ate ours on route! Delicious. It would appear there was a gap in the market for engineering services to the pie making machines which many butchers have. I decided to do some research. I picked up the yellow pages, butchers section and the conversation went like this. "Hello, do you make your own pies?" "Yes". "We may be able to help you......................................." Today we had 5 appointments, all very interested. Oh and the pies were lovely! Watch this space!
