What overseas holiday gets you a week off work? I mean Oktoberfest is at least 16 days but I don't think you get time off work unless you take your annual leave.🍺😁

It takes us the best part of a week to fly anywhere and back. Especially with a stopover.

I'm pretty sure Chinese New Year is a week long public holiday🤔

Okay, I think perhaps I would rather stay in Canada than get a week off work in China.

China has Golden week  twice a year, one of the best times to visit especially, Shanghai and Bejing, is the week following them as the air is cleaner due to the factories being shut for the week and the cities are quieter..

Can we get off pumpkin and back to good old meat pies.
 

Next time I go to mums, the local pie shop is advertising slow cooked lamb shank pie. So if Mrs Gut suggests fish and chips, she may get a surprise.

Pumpkin Pie perhaps?????🤔🤔

They say the re-education camps are nice this time of year.

Yuck... pies need meat, or fruit. If it has vegetable it needs a mix of vegetable, preferably still with meat.

Pumpkin is technically a fruit.

Technically, knowledge is knowing it’s a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in fruit salad (indeed the only fruit pie I really like is good old apple pie).

When we did a coach tour of Europe, some years ago, we were in Munich in September and went to an Oktoberfest place, so it starts in Sept. Why not Septemberfest then? 🍺

If you take more time than it takes to quaff a quality pint pondering why Oktoberfest is in September you are thinking about it too much Uncle Les. Ours is not to wonder why, just drink the beer and party. Of course you will be excused for drinking cider instead😁

Because it was originally in October about a lot of years ago. Big party to celebrate the marriage of Prince someone to Princess someone.

 

Note: I should get credit for remembering some of that learnt around those big glasses of beer.

Like this Uncle Les?

I spent a week in Munich during octoberfest, went on 4 of the days/nights. It is something special to behold. Lots of fun and plenty to see or do apart from drinking copious amounts of beer.

I think I prefer plain pies.🤣

[lyndarra]

Or try a pie on a bap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A bap is, at its simplest, a bread roll. At its more complicated, it is tender pillow of dough, often made with milk, lard, and butter. A more humble, Scottish version of the brioche. The bap is the ideal bread for a simple meat sandwich.

[OzKiwiJJ]

A barm sounds very similar to a bap. Barm is the Lancashire word for yeast.

 

"A barm cake is a soft, round, flattish bread roll from North West England, traditionally leavened with barm. Chips are a popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the North West of England and often called a chip barm"

We had a pulled pork family pie from Yandina Markets for tea last night.  Not my favourite filling.  Their meat pies are better.

I find pulled meats to be dry and over cooked.
