Suet sketch - Mercorabilia

Another rare and special treat today as I present my third sketch from my Mercorabilia collection - a selection of sketches inspired by a certain Souvenir Programme but written by yours truly.

A: What did the chef do to the recipe book that stole his idea?

B: I don’t know.

A: Suet.

<audience laughs (hopefully)>

B: How did he do that?

A: What?

B: How did he sue a book?

A: Well, he didn’t, did he? It’s a joke.

B: Is it?

A: Yes!

B: Why?

A: <sighs> Because suet – like sago – is a pudding.

B: Suet.

A: Yes.

B: Really?

A: Yes.

B: <pauses> It doesn’t sound like a very nice pudding.

A: Well it doesn’t have to be, does it? It’s just a joke. I could have done one about a black forest gateau.

B: Oh – why didn’t you? I like them.

A: Because it doesn’t fit, does it? What did the chef do the recipe book that stole his idea? Black forest gateau.

B: How about what kind of cake do you find in a deep dark wood?

A: Listen – I do the jokes around here.

B: You sure?

A: Ok. What comes out of a sugar and milk train?

B: I don’t know.

A: A cream puff.

B: <pauses> I don’t like them.

A: Oh – you…!
