    I’ve had steak and kidney pie, and I’ve had Yorkshire pudding and Cornish pasty and good old bangers and mash, but I’ve never had steak and ale pie. Anybody got the recipe ?

    Andy is treating Flo to a night on the town? He must be interested in sweetening her up for something! Another loan perhaps?

    Ale pie, Sounds awful. I’ll have a medium rare steak and a cold Miller Lite.

    I can’t wait to see what an “ale pie” looks like…

    This reminds me that the number one topic of conversation among men in a bar is neither sports, women, or politics, It’s food ! Next time you visit your neighborhood bar or pub, see if I’m not right.

    Flo looks lovely in this strip.

    Haha. You should go easy on the Ale, Andy!

    Feel sorry for the poor Waiter.

    Flo is clever at making Andy stop in his tracks.

    I recommend the bacon and onion pudding I mentioned earlier. Great with boiled potatoes, any green vegetables, carrots….. and so on.

    In the UK many people think that the Americans don’t eat vegetables, just fast food. I, personally, don’t believe that, as all the Americans I know in England love vegetables.

    Just blame it all on the media.
