Is it half-price Hog Roasts today Neil?
November 22, 2009 at 18:40 #260038If they do Hog Roasts then its £4-5 for one.
Check – £4.50 for a hog roast bap bigger than the sort you have to pay more for daan sarf.
Ideally you should do both days and take in Aintree, An 8 runner Becher should be fun.
Aye, would have been great to have done that, but prior engagements at Worcester last night and Towcester this afternoon prevented that. One year, one year…

November 22, 2009 at 23:55 #260081Jeremy we dont use the word Bap here oop north, anything in a bread roll is known as either a Barm or Barm Cake.
£4.50 is ok i guess aslong as you get a decent filling, next time you visit Haydock be worth nipping into Ashton and seeing what Pies or Pasties Greggs or Waterfields have.
November 23, 2009 at 10:49 #260108I don’t eat pastry, Neil, so I’ll have to forego the pleasure of the Greggs goodies you’ve suggested. Right picky, me.
You sure there’s no such things as baps oop north? We always called it a bap in Saddleworth! Maybe we were uncommonly sophisticated there.

£4.50’s bearable by Rules racecourse standards, but still pales next to the hog roast at Easingwold point-to-point, the finest, cheapest and biggest I’ve yet come across.
Can’t wait to encounter the similarly vaunted soup at Alnwick in three weeks’ time – £1 for a king-sized cup of home-made loveliness. Top that, Ascot!

November 23, 2009 at 18:38 #260180Yes we do have things called Baps.
I think they are kept in womens bras

Mind you if its towards Oldham then i think they do say Baps.
November 23, 2009 at 19:19 #260195Ah, now
those
are boulders.
Thus Playtex’s manufacture of "over-the-shoulder boulder-holders".
