Needless to say I will not be purchasing another Pukka Pie ever again.

things never change. pukka are to pies what primark are to high end fashion.

From my ancient and well-thumbed English Language teaching guide....

' PUKKA '....an Indian/ English adjective denoting something genuine, reliable and GOOD !..

Unfortunately not an adjective which one could apply with any certainty to that culinary nightmare of a Pie which I bought in all good faith on Saturday afternoon !
