Not bothered who takes responsibility for the first game in a new era, but, if it is @Sithbare - here is some valuable information :0)
The Pieoneers – Two humble patriots set out to taste every pie in football. (wordpress.com)
They do a curry pie at Ipswich Town (Portman Road)

The chicken balti was delightful. I’m sensing somewhat of a correlation between my enjoyment of each pie and the amount of alcohol I’ve consumed, though this could just be a coincidence… In any case, the balti actually contained loads and loads and loads of aubergine, chicken and veg (it’s not too uncommon to be mystified concerning the whereabouts of your meat in a ‘meat’ pie), which combined with the slight spicy kick made for an enjoyable half-time treat, even if I barely made it back to my seat for the second half due to the absolute chaos that is the lower north stand concourse. You’d think that the club/staff would learn how to deal with the obvious demand of punters at half time after a complete and utter shambles during the first few games of the season. Alas, we’re not all blessed with common sense.
I’ve always considered a chicken balti pie to be a strange concept, but it’s definitely a wise choice.

From QI:
The Italian word for aubergine, melanzana, comes from its early name ‘mela insane’ meaning ‘insane apple’.

It’s peak holiday season so I expect some users have better things to do, especially when there are no matches on.
