Football

If you're had a liquid lunch and planning on a few pints before you get home, pie seems acceptable. Until you realise it will still be hot enough to burn your mouth until way after half time.

Who eats between 3pm and 5pm?

Lunch, football, home for tea/dinner/supper/#ohfucknotthisagain

The more usual pattern for a 3pm kick off is:

11am Pub
2:30/2:45 move to ground
2:55 grab a pie and a pint in the ground
3pm match
3:45 half time pint
4:50 pm pub
some time later crawl home and watch Match of the Day

Being a non drinker, I may have missed something but, generally, the time in the pub before the game is key to the atmosphere during the match.

It also accounts for people constantly getting up for the loo during the match itself.

Following this itinerary, the pie becomes an essential part of the day's sustinance.
