Has anyone ever wondered about the following culinary phenomenon? A little explanation maybe required for the non-English readers. A delicacy exists in the U.K. known as Ham and Egg pie. This dish consists of a pasty encrusted ham pie with a boiled egg magically embedded within. How on earth does the egg get past the pastry and meat outer casing without causing damage?
Hypothesis 1 A chicken is placed inside a time machine, the time machine is different to most as it is constructed entirely from ham. The porcine time travelling devise is encased in pastry, when the machine is activated the chicken travels back through time until it is an egg once more.
Hypothesis 2 Paul Newman (in the film Cool Hand Luke) is fed all fifty boiled eggs. He is then diced into fifty pie-sized segments, each of which is encased in pastry, to form a Ham and Egg pie. This hypothesis could be null and void, as I’m positive more than fifty such pies have existed in the world. However there could be a foie gras style farm in France were thousands of Paul Newmans are being force fed boiled eggs against their will in order for them to be transformed into pies. I’ll inform Amnesty International immediately.

dear mr. fox,
yes, i have long wondered this. i did a little research and it turns out that it is the paul newman farms. they have genetically engineered thousands of paul newmans to harvest the eggs for ham and egg pies. tragically, much of the leftover paul newman goes to waste, as there is little demand for his hide or flank.
also, it is likely that the paul newmans are treated cruelly at the farms, as they sometimes stuff three into one cage and use hormones to make their meat more tender. however, there is currently no law in france that prohibits this treatment of paul newmans.

Hi
I would like to try one of these pies. Would you serve me one on a plate of gold and top it with a Chrisp $100 bill for garnish?
This sounds quite delightful.

The major failing of tis theorum is that Paul Newman's meat is more comparable to pheasant or similar game birds, rather than pork.
