My good friend Karlston informs me that if we didn't have good old fashioned fox hunting then the pork pie would never of been invented and this thread would make absolutley no sense at all. He has no evidence to back this up but i feel inclined to believe the old boy.
The Pastry was wrapped around the meat to keep it from harms way, come lunchtime the fuckwits discarded the pastry and tucked into the fresh meaty based snack .
I'm assuming this was a time way before some bright spark came up with the idea that we now know as the lunchbox.
