Thread: Pie shops charging for sauce.

There is a simple solution Dave which my Dad taught me. In all his cars he kept a small box which had salt, vinegar and sauce in it for just such occasions as a meat pie or fish and chips. He was a Yorkshireman, so paying a few cents extra for condiments really cut against the grain for him. He said he had already paid for those things at home, so why pay for them again...

Remember the Yorkshireman's creed -

Ear all, see all, say note,
Eat all, sup all, pay note.
And if you should ever do ote for note, then do it for the sen (for yourself)

Y'know, I'd be really happy if the biggest worry in my life was that occasionally I had to pay for sauce to go on a pie.

BTW, I fall into the 'no-sauce' camp when it comes to pies but that is because I only by nice pies that don't need their flavour enhancing/disguised.

Then another customer made an order, their stare was averted so I slowly sidled my way nonchalantly to the door with pent up terror expectant to the call "Ya haven't paid for ya sauce". I made it out unnoticed, my heart pounding, my eyes bulging pool balls; I have never felt so alive.

That has made my day

Yep..that's TRUE...
My wife was born in Yorkshire (although came to Australia at a very young age with her family as a "five pound Pom")...but her Dad LIVES by that creed...

(BTW..the correct spelling is "nowt")...and, no I'm not taking over from Ron with spelling

Also, sauce should be supplied free if required.

I'm a pro-saucer, but a REALLY good pie is one with mushy peas (must be mushy) under the pie lid with sauce on top. Yummy, must be a top quality pie though!!!
