Pie


On the canteen menu today was Steak and Mushroom pie. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?

none of the regular staff were working in the canteen today. The chef was on a course and the others were variously ill or taking kids to job interviews or on holiday. So the canteen was staffed by agency workers. A recipe for disaster! (Geddit? see what I did there?)

When I got to the front of the queue, it was clear that this wasn't actually the meal that was on offer. There was a large pot of what appeared to be stew. Fair enough, I thought. Stew is tasty too. So that's what I asked for.

'Hi. Could I have some of the stew, please?'
'Stew?'
I wave over at the pot.
'Oh, the pie' said the man behind the counter. 'Certainly, sir. The pastry's just coming out.'

And the pastry did, indeed come out. Separately.

Now I may be wrong here, but isn't pie supposed to be... well... pastry with a filling? I feel cheated. Anyway, the 'filling' tasted fine. The pastry tasted oddly of shortbread, but that was okay, too. The guy's idea of 'just a few chips' is miles away from mine, though. I only ate about 3 of 'em and left about five million. Bring back my usual dinner ladies. They know what I like, dammit!
