[Louise Raw, a historian,
posted a picture of
an ‘Empire Pie’ she bought from
the supermarket, claiming the
name left a “nasty taste in millions
of people’s mouths ― those it didn’t kill”.]



Louise does it taste Good???

Also being Debated on Ch5HD Wright Stuff today

Oh my god.What is wrong with people these days?People are getting offended by pie now?

Its Louise
the food expert getting the anger up.


It could be Star Wars "Empire"

Feel the Force

Getting offended for no reason seems to be the 'in' thing now.The worst part is some people think that when they say 'i'm offended' that everyone else has to move heaven and earth to make them feel better.The best response is usually to tell them to feck off and grow up.

I'm offended by the size of that picture in the OP Arista :fist:

mmm that looks tasty

Mmmmm, looks tasty.
As an old Colonial would it be really bad for me to try one?



Edit. Just realised it had crushed potatoes on top...they can keep it.

Yes I am going to buy one
on Ch5HD Live although debating it
the panel loved the taste
I will cook the Empire
soon.

No
buy one before they Ban it.

crushed potatoes are good, it the mango chutney that would turn me off

So Irish :flutter:

So it's just the word 'Empire' she doesn't like? Better not tell her about Empire biscuits.

Another day another nutter looking for something to take offense at. Nothing to see here :idc:

Empire biscuits are actually a biproduct of the slave trade though. Made from the floor sweepings of slave ships, apparently.

I wonder if they have ever been made on Bake Off. I never really liked the cherry on top of them.

I think i must be part Irish.I fecking love potatoes.They're my favourite carbohydrate based food.I could eat unlimited potatoes if it was good for my diet.

.. I Spie with my little eye..:fan:...

Niamh Lady

Just a dumb bitch trying to be offended for the sake of people who don't give a ****.
