On to the Poetry

What is to pie?

by Daniel de S. on the 18th of June 2013

I once ate a pie
of the Higgidy persuasion
Mine breast swooned in fealty
And my heart with elation
Every bite taken
My lips gave a cry
If I can’t have me Higgidy
I would rather die

Little Spinach, Feta & Tomato Quiche

by Lin H. on the 18th of June 2013

With your Little Spinach Quiche,
You have really found your niche,
Not forgetting creamy Feta,
and the cherry tomato just makes it even better!
A treat of a snack,
No leftovers ever come back!

Reduced Aisle

by Sajan R. on the 13th of June 2013

An unassuming comic book artist
Felt his hunger say HEY!
With a business plan looming
Over his day

He said, little hunger!
Ima go to the store
Tummy no longer complaining
As he entered the door
(of the store)

His feet took control
and straight to the reduced aisle
Pushed sausage rolls aside
And searched for a while

The artist was hungry
and a total cheapskate
and scored one hot hiddigy
Imagined on a future plate

It was an impulse buy
But he was just an impulsive guy
Like seriously, this one time, and I mean he like almost never went out with girls but once dumped a girl because she didn’t get my comics I mean jeez what the hell she just misunderstood it so much and her critique wasn’t remotely valid

He ate his higgidy pie and was satisfied
He didn’t really thaw it properly
But it’s late and he hasn’t yet died

And it only gets cooler
He enjoyed his pie like mad
It quenched all of his lonely
And sucked up all his sad

He chucked it down his belly
and said hey, is that alright now?
And his insides writhed in joy
And he felt as full as a cow
That had been eating for days

A train journey challenge

by Fi M. on the 11th of June 2013

Higgidy piggidy, clickidy clackidy,
On the way home to the ‘Deen,
Travelling by train, oh what a pain,
Thank frank for my wee quiche Lorraine!
…well, I’m a veggie so it’s your delightful spinach, feta and tomato quiche, but that didn’t rhyme ;-)

Big Mouth Little Pie

by Ashlee on the 9th of June 2013

“What a cute little pie!” she exclaimed in delight,
“I’m sure I could eat it in one massive bite.”
She has a big mouth so I would have believed,
That what she suggested could well be achieved.

However, the pie was not really so small,
She took a huge bite but could not eat it all.
Another few mouthfuls and then she was willing,
To give me the last bite, for it was quite filling.

Miss Quiche

by Sue P. on the 6th of June 2013

Miss Quiche, a flan of small fame,
Thought that her fillings were really quite tame.
Who can I ask to get me an upgrade,
It must be a firm whose chefs know their trade.
So she searched and she asked, until she found the right one, She thought that with Higgidy , a deal could be done.

She sat with Camilla, they really had fun, Miss Quiches’ ideas were rated second to none.
I want lots of colour, red, yellow and green With classy ingredients, I want to be seen.
So they filled her with peppers and spinach and cheese, Added free range eggs, it made her so pleased.

From that day on, Little Miss Quiche was a winner And, we really enjoyed having her, for our dinner!

My higgidy quiche

by Amy W. on the 5th of June 2013

This perfectly formed and sculpted quiche,
(In a size that’s meant only for me) -
A temporary queen of a pastry universe,
A guarded kingdom for my tea.
I tease the edge with a fork,
Savour the precious break,
Defend the plate from eager hands,
“It’s mine – make no mistake!”
The salad hugs the crescent moon,
And shies from the tomato sun,
Lonely it waits, my orbital treat,
‘Til alas, the meal is done.
The plate then cleared,
And whistle-clean,
The dog nearby sighs at the thought,
Of what had been.
For the quiche (no crumbs),
Vanished without a trace,
Magically stuffed into the hole,
On the human’s smiling face.

Supermarket Saga

by Judith C. on the 3rd of June 2013

I spied a pie as I wheeled my trolley
Chosing wisely with not much lolly
Hurrah, I thought, at just the right price
A Higgidy pie will more than suffice

I could see through the lid of the little green box
A succulent pie to knock of your socks
My spirits were lifted as I queued at the till
Value for money, and it just fits the bill.

Humble Pie

by Peter on the 29th of May 2013

Higgidy Piggy humble pie
Shoreham is known for it’s quiche
Pies are a synch
A friendly crunch
Just right for lunch
Hot from the oven
Just like steaming
Feta, fitter, fuller figure
Bans fatigue,
Go a league.

Lines on a Lunch

by Joan on the 29th of May 2013

I shunned the sandwiches and found
The ideal quiche so plump and round.
This spinach, feta, pepper snack
Just has me hooked, no turning back.
Oh higgidy pie, you’ve proved to be
The perfect pastry, just for me.

All Alone

by Bob E. on the 23rd of May 2013

You sat on the shelf, all so alone
I saw you just sat there, so I took you home.
For my lunch tomorrow, that was my quest.
I’ve had quiches before, but yours was the best.

It was love at first sight, with spinach & feta.
I’ve travelled the world, but never found betta.
So thanks to the person, that left you alone,
And thank you Higgidy, you’re now in my home.

When I go back, to that great superstore,
I hope that deliveries, have brought in some more.
I’ll make straight for that aisle, to where we first met,
And I’ll take you again, or more you can just bet.

Thank you. Higiddys

Thank you Higgidy

by Caroline Dyer on the 22nd of May 2013

I didn’t think I’d ever write a poem,
To thank you for the great taste of Higgidy pies.
They melt in the mouth as soon as they go in,
They’re scrumptious and such a feast for the eyes.
My friends think I’m a good pastry chef with know how,
But Higgidy helps me to make a delicious ladies luncheon now!
Ha, Ha.

(My favourite is spinach and feta)

On my own for the night

by Gemma on the 22nd of May 2013

A night without him
But hes bought me a quiche
With spinach and pepper
Onions and feta
I am liking it greatly
Its pretty darn good
I’ve forgotten hes gone
Now I just need a pud!

Thank you Higgidy

Little Spinach, Feta and Tomato Quiche

Higgidy pies for me,
My Higgidy friends agree,
That nothing is better
Than spinach and feta
In a Higgidy quiche for your tea.

Twinkle twinkle Higgidy Pie

Twinkle twinkle little Star
Now I see just what you are
You’re not in the sky so high
You’re on my favourite Higgidy Pie

Higgidy cares enough to share

by Lisa B. on the 12th of May 2013

This Higgidy rhyme written by me; is supposed to encourage charity.
So, next time you go to the shops to buy an Higgidy quiche or pie, remember to buy one for the homeless too or otherwise they will wonder ‘why?’

I know they are scrumptious so yummy; that you just want it for your tummy.
But remember it’s much better to share; so show the world that you care.

Higgidy crunchy, Higgidy yum; you can’t just have it all for your tum.
Higgidy tasty so delicious, so share it with every one; encourage them to buy their Higgidy treat; those quiche and pies you just cannot beat.

Higgidy fresh, Higgidy pure; when you want one you just want more.
Remember to eat it moderately; and remember to save one for me! :-)

Tasty Treat

by Val B. on the 10th of May 2013

Next time you’re peckish and fancy a treat;
A Higgidy quiche could be just up your street.
It’s fresh and nutritious and tastes like a dream;
When your teeth sink into it your taste buds will scream.

Mine and my Mom's tea

by Lisa B. on the 9th of May 2013

I went and bought a Higgidy Spinach and little feta quiche for mine and my mom’s tea
I couldn’t believe it when I had one bite; I decided to have it all for me.

It was so scrummy, so delicious, so yummy
That I now want more Higgidy quiche in my tummy.

I’ve just ordered some more quiche just for me
If anyone else asks for some you’ll know what my answer will be.

Of course I will share it moderately
But I will make sure there’s more for me – yummy!

A wee poem

by Carolyn P. on the 8th of May 2013

Your little quiche was such a treat,
No prep to do and so good to eat.
This was my first and I have to agree,
I’ll be buying some more to eat for my tea.

I’ve been writing poems for a year or two
And couldn’t resist doing this one for you
I realise that it’s not very good
Which is more than I can say for your excellent food!

My first Higgidy pie

by Sue G. on the 7th of May 2013

I had a higgidy pie today, the first I’ve ever eaten -
I have to say that I believe the pie cannot be beaten.
The crust had poppy seeds in and the eggs were laid free range
I ate it walking down the street – the looks I got were strange!

I had a higgidy pie today, the best I’ve ever seen
The feta was so creamy and the spinach was so….green!
The little cherry tomato looked so scrummy on the top
(My husband didn’t get any – I had to eat the lot!)

I had a higgidy pie today, it’s caused a little prob
My husband now won’t talk to me, nor my son or dog.
They say I shouldn’t eat it all, that it was so unfair
But it was so deliciously gorgeous that I JUST DON’T CARE!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful food

by John G. on the 1st of May 2013

A group of people – a quorum ?
Make wonderful food down at Shoreham.
Their pies and quiches
Are simply deliches (delicious!);
You really just cannot ignore ’em !!

Once apron a time

by Julie B. on the 28th of April 2013

Oh! higgidy piggidy pie,
I can’t afford you so much,
that’s no lie.

So imagine my shock and delight,
when out shopping one wintry night.
I past the reduced and then I deduced,
that paying £1.69 was alright.

I clutched on to you, oh! so tight,
never for once leaving your sight,
paid at the till,
then drove up the hill,
to my house that was perched on the right.

Safely inside I went to switch on the oven,
then I remembered I had no apron to put on.
I couldn’t possibly cook without an apron,
so I sat with my face all forlorn.

Then, I wondered if I could be so bold,
as to eat a higgidy mushroom & leaf spinach pie cold.
Yes!, you were still tasty and surprisingly filling for one so small,
then I knew, without a doubt, even if eaten hot, you’d still be cool.

Delicious Quiche

by Zara T. on the 22nd of April 2013

Today at home,
When I came back from school,
I saw a quiche,
That made me drool!

In the lovely warm oven,
It goes,
By then I was tingling,
from my head to toes!

I sniffed a little,
A smell quite inviting,
Sat at the table,
So exiting!

Gave it a taste,
It passed my lips,
Better than any old,
Egg and chips!

Even though,
I’m only 9,
Higgidy’s the best,
I’ve had in my life time!

I wish I could put it,
In a treasure chest,
HIGGIDY’S IS THE BEST!!

Snack time

by Sally J. on the 20th of April 2013

Peckish, it time for me to eat
So to the store I go for a treat
Higgidy, oh what can that be
A quiche, sounds pretty good to me
That was great, now I want more
So once again I’m off to the store.

Small Quiche

by Rog M. on the 9th of April 2013

Oh small quiche, small quiche,
How you console me so.

Oh little quiche, little quiche,
In my belly you go.

You were two days out of date,
But still tasted great.

Oh baby quiche, baby quiche,
You make the good times flow.

Young lady from Devon

by Kelly M. on the 28th of March 2013

There was a young lady from Devon, While tasting a pie, was in heaven! The label said higgidy, So she did a jiggidy, and proceeded to scoff the next seven!

The Perfect Lunch

by Fiona on the 28th of March 2013

I’m at my desk -my lunch looks great
A Higgidy pie upon on my plate
It’s steaming hot and tastes divine
The same tomorrow will be just fine!

I know the reason my pie tastes so good
The Higgidy people do just what they should
Everything’s wholesome and finished by hand
That’s why their pies are the best in the land!

All sorts of pies

by Sue P. on the 27th of March 2013

I love all sorts of pies you know
Even though they make my middle grow
Apple, blackberry, raspberry, peach
All within an easy reach

But just lately I must confess
There’s only one that I consider best
I hear you asking which that may be
And I’ll shout aloud “HIGGIDY
