This stuff just couldn’t be invented.The BBC, in an article entitled [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-30538447]World Pie Eating Championships: Humble pie for Wigan chef after pie mix-up[/url], wrote:The World Pie Eating Championships were thrown into turmoil when it emerged that a work experience chef sent the wrong pies to the event.
Organisers said the snacks - double the correct size for the contest - should have gone to a divorce party but were sent to Harry's Bar in Wigan in error.
Ex-champion Barry Rigby, 37, of Wigan, a fitness instructor, set the best time of 42.6 seconds for eating half a pie.
But umpires declared the results null and void because of safety concerns.

Do you think the guy in the grey top is the fitness instructor?
By strange coincidence, the wedding feast at the marriage of DRT and JCT had the menu description "Who ate all the pies?". It's nice to know that pies can be used to both begin and end a marriage. Very versatile things are pies.
