Hog Blog , Half Baked Plans!

Chef Molly The Wally is displeased.


The dreaded hot pastry tax.


The hated ‘pasty tax’ is to be reversed but many will still pay more to have the delicious snack hot, it has been revealed. Pasty George Osborne has decided that as long as hot takeaway food is cooling naturally, it will not be subject to 20 per cent VAT, as planned. Confused, well you are not alone, doesn’t anything hot cool naturally? My sources at Molly Media hot footed it over to Fleet Street to interview chief anti-pasty-tax activist Mr. Sweeney Todd. ‘This damn tax on munchies is poaching on my proceeds of me honest toil’, he was quoted as saying. Apparently his premises on Fleet Street were raided last week by Customs officials waving thermometers. An extremely angry Mr. Todd told us he and his customers were left traumatized by the heavy handed thermometer wielding thugs. A very flustered Marie Antoinette told my reporters that she didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. At this point Mr. Todd waved his meat cleaver at her and chased her down the street shouting, ‘Off with her head.’ Other ridiculous taxes included the window tax, the hat tax, the playing card tax and lastly the most stupid, the moustache tax. Pasty George is in good company!

  8. Ok...we FINALLY got you to load in our reader. So, we are confused on this tax. Why would they want to tax hot things. Hot food is GOOD food!

  14. Aw Molly! My human is really really embarrassed because your blog is using very big clever words that she's never seen before (she's french you see) and she's too lazy to pick up a dictionary and look up the words...

  16. Hi Molly, I couldn't believe the pasty tax, I mean who the heck eats pastys anymore anyways?? They would get more money off the good old pork pie or scotch egg! If they start to tax the mini buffet sausages I'm going to write a strongly worded letter! With the Jubilee coming up and mini pasty 50 packs flying off the shelves at Tesco its time we all wondered why they have given up on solving problems like the recession, world peace and world hunger and decided to take a stand on lunchables instead! PATHETIC! Love your furiend in a fury (crying out please don't tax my kibble) Frank x x x x x x

    1. Hey Frank the Tank, by all means tax the b@@@%63Y kibbles. my s''''d2255ing kibbles Lite are nothing more than cardboard masquerading as dog food. Leave alone the party food , I'm off to 'Iceland' because I party like a celebrity!!!!
