Fat Bastard Caught Short Drives 566km For A Pie

JAN 2023 Story by ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Derick, a Christchurch Pie Club member, has a deep love for good pies.

Derick, a Christchurch Pie Club member, has a deep love for good pies. So much so he was willing to drive 566 kilometres just to get his hands on one. He claims “I just simply refused to eat substandard pies”.

When the Pie Club announced they would be taking a break from the ovens Derick was caught short on Fat Bastard Pies supplies leaving him and many other pie-lovers in the community, in a state of despair.

But Derick was determined not to resort to mediocrity. Despite the distance and the cost of gas, he got in his car and set off on the long journey to the Invercargill. After many hours on the road, he finally arrived and was able to get his fix.

He is reported to be very pleased Pie Club’s delivery service will be resuming normal business as of mid-January as his car would need new tires to make the 1132km round trip on a regular basis.

Derick’s determination to only eat good pies serves as a reminder that sometimes, the things we love are worth going the extra mile for. And sometimes, it's worth driving 566 km for a good pie.
