The Grauniad reveals that a butcher in the North is offering wedding cake shaped pork pies (perhaps a stack of pork pies with columns between them?). I think this is an encouraging development in the marriage department, and it would obviously be absurd to buy such a thing if one were not getting married. So:

Of course, being of Jewish ethnic origin I must insist on a Kosher pork pie wedding cake.

I am cutting a pork pie's throat and letting it drain even as we speak.

And you did get the Chief Rabbi to pop by and say a prayer over it as you did it, didn't you?

Er, yes. Assuming my paisley plush Cthulhu is a rabbi.

:) I was going to say, never, and certainly not if you have a savoury wedding cake and really certainly not if you have a meat wedding cake and ever so really certainly not if you have a pork wedding cake. So maybe we're not destined for each other after all :)

(I do have a list of favourite things OTHER people have suggested for a wedding, currently topped by "matter transporter" :))

Oh, wait, I know this one. Only to save your own life, or that of an innocent, right? I'm sure Dave can arrange :)

I am only familiar with this term in reference to hats.

I am already married, but we could pretend for the sake of PORK (hurr hurr) PIE.

You've been overcome by my crusty charm?

I wouldn't advertise that your pork is crusty if I were you ;P

The good thing being that keepnig the smaller layers for future christenings should kill off the genes.

On Middle Eastern IRC channels they refer to it as pr0k.

I'm afraid that, pork pies notwithstanding, my answer would be the same as the one and only time you asked me previously - what, 14 years ago now, despite you winning the duel :-)

I'll let you off this time on the grounds that you are married already. :-)

Sorry, but not even pork pie wedding cake can tempt me.

I should have marked the "NO!" option as "for the use of [livejournal.com profile] lnr only".

I do like pork pie, but the idea of a huge wedding version turned my stomach.

As long as you don't mind existing husband and boyfriend. ;-)

The latter is fine but I believe two husbands is technically illegal, so I may have to marry someone else.
