Today's pie at Men's Pie Club was a cassoulet pie, with duck, sausage, and pork belly. Fancy I know, but I had a tin of confit duck in the cupboard. I mean, who hasn't? 🙄🤣

And here's the original. Roger was quite the repeat offender (I don't mean about his navel preference - which might have been an early way to avoid unwanted pregnancies), so he was declared an outlaw. It's not clear that he was ever caught.

Peasant notions of utopia, such as the Land of Cockaigne, are fascinating. This is a land beyond the Ocean (described in the mid 16th century).

Post a meme made by you.

Obviously the relentless genius of AI produced the picture, hence her weird hand and bent stem on her glass.
