Lord of the Pies


Suspicious shenanigans at the World Pie Eating Contest. It seems that the make of pie was changed for this year's contest, catching veteran pie-eaters unaware. They had been practising with traditional soft Wigan pies but found themselves confronted with hard-crust Adlington pies on the day of the contest. Investigations reveal that the change of pie was necessary because the original baker 'Wigan Pies' closed down earlier this year but the fact that the new baker is a southerner from Watford, although located in Adlington, only serves to encourage conspracy theories.
(Dieticians will be glad to know that contestants are judged not on how many pies they can eat in a given time but on how quickly they can eat one pie 12 cm in diameter, without added gravy.)
