Having taking full note of a splendid win at Marine this last Saturday, I was nonetheless disappointed that none of our intrepid travellers made a mention of the pies and pasties on the day. Marine's Arriva Stadium is usually stocked to the gunnels with traditional footy nosh, but it seems to have gone unnoticed by our fans.
Did anyone actually manage to beat the queues and get one, or did our fans just pack their own bags of basic rations before they left?

Didn't sample any of the pastry products, but I have to say our cheeseburgers were dreadful and the onions tasted as if they'd been boiled in the tea urn.
Nevertheless, taking into account the result, the game, the journey and the unfailing politeness and friendliness of the Marine fans we can't claim it spoiled our day!

Beat the queue but seriously wished we hadn't. Pie of the steak variety barely edible,non mushy mushy peas only one soup chicken and vegetable but think the chicken escaped, hot chocolate,was it? and will leave comments on the burger to the Bard but dont think he was impressed. Wasn't this the ground that a couple of years ago sold "scouse" scrummy?

Sorry to hear about what sounds like a very sudden dip in the steak pie stakes. I’ll drop Marine a line and give ‘em a friendly bit of pastie over this…
Here's hoping Ossett have improved on their 'Roadkill Burgers'...

On a technical note, I can confirm the pies were 'Hollands', rather than our very own 'Pukka'. Personally I did not partake, but the Kitkats tasted fine.

Thanks for that. I'll add that to my spreadsheet.

And a fine spread it sounds, too.
However, I'm always a little wary of food that's described as 'home made'. After all, unless the chef actually lives in the cabin the chicken might have to travel miles, probably crossing several roads for no apparent reason and thus volunteering herself for the roadkill burgers.
I think I've caught whatever Yeadoner's got.

I think 'home made' can, as far as some football clubs are concerned, be stretched to mean that the chef lives 'somewhere' (ie 'anywhere' will do) and that he had 'something' to with making the dish in question (Note: This may or may not mean actually physically preparing the dish at all - the fact that the person in question once saw an episode of 'Masterchef' is probably enough). Moreover, the parameters of this are so wide that the 'home' could be 100 miles (or more) from where the dish is actually 'made', and 'made' could, again, be stretched to just mean 'just taken out of the packet and popped in the microwave'...
'Roadkill', however, in the case of, say, a rabbit, means that the rabbit was almost certainly killed very close to the point on the highway where all the blood is. In my experience there are very few instances of rabbits being run over by trucks and then travelling very far and tidying up all the loose ends on their personal, family and financial matters before they finally get round to the job of actually expiring. It's usually a heck of a lot quicker than all of that.
As Confucious would (probably not) have said 'Rabbit too slow for trucks is fast food for many a crow'...

Err, I mentioned on another post about food at Ossett, but reading Ydr above, I may have gone off the idea  Rallyman |
