Who ate all the pies

The Vine was superb.

 

It always is. Chatting with WBA fans at our home game a few weeks back they were saying there's a new similar place opened up nearer the ground, and ir's just as good.

 

If I'd been sober at the time I might have been able to remember the name now, but I wasn't. ;)

Well tbf. If its an away game and I've been drinking since 9am, no surprise I am hungry by 2:30....

 

do you get hungry at 2.30 and 3.45 on a normal working day and have to pop down to the local burger bar to fill your greedy face?

No but I do normally have lunch at some point. Say on a normal London game, I'll have breakfast early, get the train about 9, start drinking, then grab a pie or something normally on the walk to the ground or once inside. I'd be wasting drinking time if I went to get lunch at 1, having to leave a pub and then to return to it.

The best pie that I have not eaten was at Norwich when 20 minutes before the game started Delia's pies were all sold out.

 

I want to know ho ate them.

 

I had one of them. I can confirm that the pies at Norwich are the best I've had at a football ground. I was veggie at the time (2003), and my option was normally some minging cheese & onion pie that was so bad even Greggs wouldn't serve it, and would cost £2.50 and be so hot you couldn't eat it for ten minutes without burning your tongue. Cue a visit to Norwich in November 2003, on a freezing cold day I was looking forward to Delia's pies selection and I was not disappointed. I chose a Broccoli & Stilton number, and was pleased to find it actually tasted of the promised ingredients, rather than being some undefined scorching hot gloop.

 

These days I've realised what a rip off football food is and very rarely buy anything in or around the ground. I'd rather pay £5-7 for something decent, edible & VFM in the pub 2 hours earlier. Although I did waver at Sunderland recently when I smelt chips & curry sauce outside the ground and had to indulge.

Isn't it amazing how little people can do without eating.

 

Isn't it amazing how some people do things differently to you.

 

I usually have something to eat at away grounds and sometimes at SMS (although I'll try to avoid getting something there by eating before). I'm not fat or greedy.
