Hi chris

I'm pretty new around here too.

Be prepared to be bombarded with cake and pies. I think there's a plot or something. :D

Hi Chris. Help yourself to refreshments; there's biscuits as well as cakes and pies. Don't p-p-p-ick up the Penguins though - they bite your fingers off. Probably the added chilli or something.

You're from Wales, are you? Expect Daleks then - thousands of them.

Don't forget the Cybermen! (They'll bite your fingers off too!)

Welcome Chris. Try the Battenberg if you get a chance.

Going on the amount of foodstuff consumed around here a few adipose wouldn't go amiss - but they would take more than your fingers. Welcome - there are plenty of pies to go around, savoury pies have a "s" on them, and the sweet ones a "S".

Wasabi. Wasn't that Tonto's pet name for the Lone Ranger?

Firstly, hi Chris ph, but I must point out to Cannibal:Rabbit and anyone else that it is unsafe to assumes that all batches of pies will follow the "s" savoury, "S" sweet idea: it depends on the left-over pastry, choice of cook and confusion available........

Welcome chris.ph.

On the antipodean side of the room you will find chiko rolls, deep fried Mars bars, smarties, chocoholics and many rare and exotic comentibles such as Vegemite sandwiches.


Look out for Kitten, especially if holding c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e as it tends to get undue attention. (If you have a chocolate model of Jonny Depp prepare to be invaded .)

We also have pies with 'S' on them - squid, snake, sulphur crested cockatoo, chocolate sauce, and rabbitS.

Now baking wasabi and rhubarb pies - are they sweet or savoury?

Yes.

That would depend on how much Wasabi you used. Overall, I agree with Egon
