27th Feb 2012 Barbara's Pie - For Londoners

Barbara, during her nurse's training at a hospital just outside Washington, DC, had little money for meals, so she often resorted to the food provided at the hospital refectory, even though she had a great dislike for its rather bland taste.

Barbara often took her breaks in the kitchen, and sometimes kindly visitors would give her some of the treats they had brought for patients who had not wanted to eat them.

On one particular evening an English woman, from the East end of London, brought a home made pie to the kitchen and said to Barbara, 'Would you eat this up, love?' 

Barbara and her student friend devoured every last delicious crumb.

Soon their benefactor returned, however, and asked, 'Is me 'usband's pie 'ot yet, dearie?'

 

(I forgot to tell you before that you need to know East End London accent to understand this little story!)
