1117 - GAUNT

MATthew was looking forward to his Cornish Pasty, but once he'd taken a bite, there was a taint to it that put him off - it went straight in the bin. That taint lingered and came to haunt him every time he passed a bakers selling Cornish Pasties. "I'm not going to let that daunt me - I'm determined to deter people of Cornwall from eating this lousy food", he said to his mates. He packed in his job and went off on a jaunt all round Cornwall to vaunt the benefits of not eating Cornish Pasties. You can judge for yourself whether this was a wise thing to do in the County of Cornwall and, indeed, Matthew had little welcome on his travels. He returned home looking very gaunt. "You need feeding up", said his Mum, "eat some humble pie and scoff these two Cornish Pasties for starters". You couldn't see the Pasties for dust - Matthew was cured!
