This is another food related post, I am afraid.
Has anyone ever heard of a "Hedgehog Loaf"?
Last night after the Blonde STT ended ( I was knocked out I mean
). I went to a birthday party that was taking place next door. When I got there it was already beginning to wind down and I found that most of the people I knew had already left. As I looked around, I tried to seek out someone I knew. My plan was to stay for 10 mins out of respect to the person who's birthday it was before I snuck out and went home.
Over by the window sitting were two women who were looking in my direction. I thought to myself " excellent boss, you are onto a winner here". I thought perhaps they recognised me from my 1989 appearance on the "CATERPILLAR TRAIL" Unfortunately they weren't smiling in my direction, instead they were shaking their heads in a disapproving way. I put this down to the bad lighting in the room and decided to approach anyway as I losely knew one of them through a mutual friend. As I got closer, I eyed a plate which had cocktail sticks with impaled pineapple, cheese and pickle on them. I hadn't eaten for hours and was starving so I reached out to grab one.
Quick as a flash one of the girls jumped up and said "!*)((&$^% OFF...YOU CRUEL **&^%$^^% B......D" to me. Now I am used to this sort of reaction, but the CRUEL part confused me slightly. After she had calmed down a bit, I found out she had sat beside me on the train earlier in the day. To be honest I can't remember doing this as I was sure it was an old women I had sat next to. Anyway she said she had overheard a conversation I had had with a friend on the phone during the journey.
I had phoned my mate and asked him to pick me up a few tubs of soup, a pint of soya milk and two hedgehog loafs from ASDA. I had then described how great the hedgehog loafs tasted when they were grilled and boiled in the soup.
After I managed to convince her I wasn't a hedgehog torturer and in fact it was a variety of bread, she was slightly friendlier. I thought it best not to try the Cacti chat up routine on this occasion and promptly left.
I thought everyone knew about a Hedgehog Loafs. ASDA don't even sell Hedgehogs.
