With El Food One away researching Moroccan food I was left flying solo for this visit, where and why did I choose where I chose? These are questions I have been asking myself a few times a day since that fateful day, and my friends please keep reading but do not expect an answer to them all.

A Poem by the El Food Brothers, Aged ‘should know better’
To the tune of ‘I Am The Walrus’
Its British Pie Week! But you of course already knew that, following National Toast Day, its the second biggest food based event in the calendar.
And so the El Food Brothers find themselves in ‘Pie and Ale‘, the Tuesday of British Pie Week, for their special offer. Pie, Mash, Gravy and a Pint for £6 this is dangerously close to our Holy Grail

“Whats the place over there with the Pig?”

“Is it too early to go back to Dive?”
The answer was no. Its pissing it down in Manchester, and at least we know the way to there. We agree to meet at the back, but neither of us can agree where that is. We eventually meet at the same entrance as yesterday, and nearly drown in a puddle covered by a wooden board.
