A Pie Review: In Haiku
 |
| Tesco Roast Chicken Puff Pastry Pie |
I wanted some food,
I found this roast chicken pie,
It cost me three pounds.
I brought the pie home.
It took a while to cook,
And the top was burnt.
It was a deep pie,
And the pastry case was full,
But t’was hard to tell-
As it wouldn't leave the foil.
I'd wanted to share.
The chicken was odd,
As it was quite rubbery,
And squeaked on my teeth.
The pie did not lie,
There was lots of chicken there,
Smothered in gravy.
The gravy was thick,
But t'was on the stodgy side,
Though there was a lot.
Was filling but bland.
I was quite disappointed-
It scores 3.9.

Memoirs of a Pie Addict
There is nothing that quite warms the heart,
Like that particular pastry work of art,
It's that special pie geometry,
That adds an extra appeal for me,
A Pierateer must be precise,
You can't make the mistake of getting a slice,
Don't even try because I'll never agree,
To consider ranking a Cornish pasty,
The only problem is that I can't stop,
Eating pie and mash with gravy on top,
I always say 'I'll have some more',
Even when I've eaten three or four,
For a pie addict it's not a bad suggestion,
To have something on hand for indigestion,
I've had so much of sailing the seven C's,
That I'm in danger or cardiovascular disease,
At my growing waist I can only watch,
As I have to open my belt another notch,
I look around and see it in their eyes,
They think 'it was you who ate all the pies!'
Trust me don't jump to volunteer,
To live the life of a Pierateer,
But at the end of the day it's all worthwhile,
As a meal pie is extremely versatile,
So I'll never give up, I find it fulfilling,
To live a life of pastry, gravy and filling
