I’m a big, big pie lover (I’ve eaten some bigger than my own face). But like any upright citizen, I only love them when the filling is spelled correctly.

On one hand I’m tempted to revel in this spelling because I consider a vegetable pie to be one of the most pointless and pathetic pastry items going. A pie filling without meat is like a Britain without tea, a bathroom with no bath, or a gymnasium with no braindead idiots. It lacks what defines it. This intentionally disdainful spelling found in Salford, Greater Manchester is a deserved slap in the face for vegetable pies. At this point I would offer apologies to any vegetarians in the room, if it wasn’t for the fact I think they’re fools.

On the other hand, perhaps the person who wrote this board simply cannot spell. The additional spelling error of ‘pepered’ supports this view.
