Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies

I asked a question a few days ago: in the context of something you might eat for tea, what is a growler?

Not, despite suggestions, a beer bottle. And I probably couldn't eat a whole iceberg, even a small one. A growler, as huskyteer rightly (and firstly) said is a large pork pie.

I'd have said growler was a West Yorkshire term, but my faith was somewhat shaken when ar_gemlad didn't know it. Wikipedia thinks it is "a Yorkshire artisan pork pie". Artisan be buggered, it's all about the size in my book. If it isn't big enough to slice and share, it's no growler.

This question was prompted by seeing a stall advertising growlers at Glastonbury. I forget exactly what they were (some form of bacon burger?) but established fairly swiftly that they weren't what I was expecting.

I'm interested to note kotturinn's claim that it's any meat pie big enough to be "guaranteed to stop the growlings of a hungry stomach".

I'm distressed to note that lnr thinks I've asked this question before!

I note that you wisely drew a veil over any suggestions I may have made.

Fleetwood Mac, one of my favourite bands, and one I have so far managed to avoid seeing live. I did see a tribute band some years ago, while I was still in New Zealand. They played lots of Rumours songs, of course, but I seem to remember their set also featured Little Lies.

Actually, I have no idea who sang Little Lies, but you seem confident so may have a kudo anyway!

I am happy to confirm this!

I was tempted by the recent Rumours tour but it was hella expensive. I will look out for a tribute band :)
