I'm going to have a vegan shepherd's pie.

Just under 6 hours to go.

I still don't feel hugely hungry.

I thought that, by now, I'd be desperate for food but I don't feel any hungrier than I did after 12 hours.

I do feel a bit tingly in the fingers, though.

Just under three hours to go......

Less than 2 hours to go.

I still don't feel particularly hungry.

I'm just over an hour away from putting my shepherd's pie in the oven.

Something something is that euphemism for something?

45 minutes to go.

I've just put my shepherd's pie in the oven.

It's vegan. So, it'll probably be, like, 90% salt.

Now!

When it's done - don't wolf it down when the filling is still hotter than the centre of the Sun.

I think I know your eating habits well enough by now to know that you're a wolfer.


You'll scald the roof of your mouth and tongue into next year if you do and then you'll be sorry.

Take it easy Wendykins, it's a bit of a shock to the system to ram as much food into your gob after a period of not eating.

I'd imagine.

I have now had my imitation shepherd's pie.

And a vegan fake steak bake.

I've got myself some spicy noodles, see what that does to my sinuses.

Are you going to floss your nasal cavity with them?

Following my successful trial of a burrito, I decided to sample another American food beginning with b, to wit a bagel. They make wholemeal ones you know. It was nice, with some manchego in it, but I noticed they have 227 calories each! That's as much as 3 standard slices of bread. And I had two bagels

Also despite claiming to be made by the New York Bakery Company, they were made in Swindon

(Swindon Wiltshire, not Swindon, N.Y. either)
