I don't mind the odd pie floater ...I don't mind a decent pie occasionally and I quite like pea soup .....
BUT WHAT IS REEALLLLY getting my goat......
is effin bastardised traditions ... like orange flavoured ... choc chip hot cross buns!!!!!!! They are WRONG!!!!!!
I've never been able to try one since I've only seen a cart rarely and they tend to be open too late for me. I think it's more for a night of partying then eating to recover right?
I'd give it a go though if I could.
I did see a group of startled Japanese tourists being served them down at Harry's Cafe De Wheels, they were trying to figure what to do with 'em i suppose!

I haven't seen anything like that here, but I agree with you, philistine. People will not leave the classics alone. They became classics for a reason.
Talk about bastardising traditional stuff. I got home really late one night and the only place open was a Dominos pizza so I ordered a medium pepperoni , when I cut into it a load of mayonnaise oozed out the center like puss from a boil, needless to say I complained online and was given a refund. Amazingly they said they don't put mayonnaise in their pizzas but they do put "spread" in what they term as a double burst pizza. I said I have never seen such a bad frankenstein concoction in all my life, whoever came up with that must have been on a bad trip, I have in the past conjured up some weird though rather tasty munchies after a long afternoon session but never ever would it occur to me to try and market the stuff. So tell me has pizza become so boring that companies such as the above have to destroy a perfectly good pizza by putting "spread" inside it? .
As an adoptive Hong Konger, the many variations of sweet and sour pork around the world. You can get a good version here but it's not eaten often and doesn't have the reputation of being an icon of Cantonese eating that it seems to outside of Hong Kong.
Domino's or whoever, it's more the fact of destroying a "pizza" or anything else by adding poetic license where it's not needed.
I've only had sweet and sour pork twice, the 1st was in a restaurant in Manchester's China town named Kwok Man, the 2nd time it was in a restaurant in London on Rupert street just off Shaftesbury ave. The manager sat me at a table next to a damp partition wall, when the food arrived I couldn't tell whether or not it was the sweet and sour sauce that was stinging my nasal passages or the damp on the wall, so I got up and went behind it only to discover the mens toilet.
