Pied Out

Most of the biker weekend, I am well fed.  This weekend, I was properly pied out.

I was tempted to a chicken and ham pie in a Welsh biker cafe.  It was quite creamy, but a little blend.  By the time I ordered, it was too late to realise I was booked in for more pies the evenings.

I had a Ludlow venison pie at the Queens.  The pie was massive, very flavoursome, very rich, too rich for summer!  I was stuffed.  My stomach did not complain about the deer this time.

The day after, I had fish pie.  The fish pie was quite standard, I quite liked the browned mash on top.  I didn't know normal fish pie is packed out with hard boiled eggs.  It came with some lemon and parsley sauce, which I passed.

Lastly, I had a bite at Sarah's Shropshire beef pie.  I asked the cook, "what made it 'Shropshire'."  She said it was the beer they put in.  Normally, beef pie had ale, stout or red wine, but this one had a hoppy beer.  It was horrible.  I am glad I did not order it.  If it was mine, I would have given up eating it even if I were starving.  It was that bad.  I must remember never to go near beef pie with beer!

Kelsmore at Carvell's

I spotted this ice-cream parlour in Ludlow and I took Sarah to it.  Carvell's sells Kelsmore ice-cream.  The ice-cream was okay, less creamy than expected, the flavour is acceptable,  But I don't think it was exceptional.

Suchard 86% Noir Brut

The last one was horrible, I had no expectation on the rest.  This is better than I expected.  It is not very rich, it is quite 'shallow'.

Suchard Pecan Noir 70%

Cheap Austrian chocolate.  It was quite bad.

Silicon Crisps

I never had salt and vinegar crisps before, because I thought I would not like them.  I am right, they are horrible, they smell like silicon.

Kids are Like Cats

When kids get to a certain age, they develop their own characters, they only like those they like, and ignore everyone else.  If you do something they disagree, they will become other very violent, otherwise, they entertain themselves and keep to themselves.

Kids are Like Dogs

Young kids are like dog.  They love anyone that play with them.  Occasionally, they bite you, and you think it is fun and game, until they decide to attack you and cause actual bodily harm.  Lastly, you would defend them saying they did not mean it.
