No, it is actualy plant pie, but that doesn't sound as good. No steak pie will fool some idiots and those with poor reading skills.

Whisper it quietly but...

I used to like a Quorn stir fry. It's not vegan 'cos it's got eggs in though. But 'vegans' these days are people who don't eat meat on Tuesdays, like a bit of fish, will eat eggs, wear leather shoes and drink cow's milk.

But it doesn't taste anything like steak, I bought one by mistake and it was mushroom pie. Mushrooms make me puke.

Maybe it's not trading standards who are asleep ;)

Coulda been worse, at least it wasn't a "Protein" Snickers. There's some saliva I'll never get back.

So now i have to paint it white first, then put the new colour on. Just as well it was the small hallway and not the lounge I suppose...

FFS, apparently I've got dodgy charges going back to November last year, all say Apple but Apple deny any knowledge, will have to wait and see what gets refunded for a total.
