    Pret A Manger Shepherd's Pie Soup

    What in God's name do they put in that stuff! It was like something had crawled up my arse and died.

    Been informed that if I ever have it for lunch again I am not getting back in the house.

    Why would you buy such a contrived article?

    What kind of drugs are the makers using when they think ' hey I've got a good idea; let's take a pie and put it in a soup'?

    Would you eat a lobster flavoured mars bar? Actually, seeing as you're Scots, you probably would as long as it's deep fried in batter.

      WMTT says. Yack.

      A pie soup? Was it liquidised mince with a mash topping, or was the mash thinned down as part of the soup?

      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        It is basically Scotch Broth rebranded for Englanders.

          Unnecessary process step adding redundancy to the original functional specifications of the Lancashire Hotpot.

            Who would look at a product called "Shepherd's Pie Soup" and think "mmmmm, that sounds nice"?

            The vegetarian option.

                Are you sure Wilmslow hasn't crawled up your arse and died?

                  I can't understand how that chain and Eat are so popular. Their products are overpriced crap yet they seem to be all over london like a rash.
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!
