Hi Violetmoon. Help yourself to pie. Today the sweet are on the left and the savoury are not.

Can I assume that you are in Tennessee? In which case savoury means savory & sweet means erm, sweet. drop me a PM or a line in the "Happy Birthday" thread and I will add you nameto the list. It is not compulsory and I frequently forget to check but then at my age, the poor memory is something, what is it? Oh yes,quite normal.

Yes I'm in Tennessee, and am from Tennessee. Thank you for the translation, but it isn't usually necessary. I work in an educated place and am comfortable with accents of many varieties. If I get totally confused I'll raise my hand and ask for help, if that's allowed? (Or is that a signal for someone to throw pie?) <worries over new rules to be learned>

Violetmoon, your word definition explains the difference.
The Savoury pies are marked with an "S" for Savoury, but the Sweet pies have an "S" for Sweet.

Here, have a marshmallow.

Whoops, I dropped the marshmallows and forgot to offer a word for definition.

Define: Marshmallow.

Define stick.

There are some pies which cannot easily be described as sweet or savoury, such as fruity chicken curry pies. I will mark them with an "S" for special to avoid any confusion and place them behind the others.
