Our previous post has been removed by Meta because it contained the word “pigs”…So, we’d like to offer our sincere apologies to the pig farming community. You do an amazing job, especially our fantastic supplier, Dingley Dell Pork, who provide our incredible pork chops.

We’re big fans of pigs here, especially adorable piglets. We’d never dream of insulting such wonderful animals.

On the other hand… we’re quietly pleased that our two dine-and-dashers haven’t quite enjoyed being the overnight internet sensations they became 😬
