shoe pastry
@Felthry Today it's Thom McAnelli ...
[ Thom McAn was a brand of shoes popular for decades with at one point the advertising slogan 'Today it's Thom McAn'. Anelli is a kind of cylindrical pasta. This is therefore a correctly researched joke and thus funny whatever anyone says. ]
explaining the joke
@Felthry have some shoe pastry for desert after a dinner of grilled ghoti
explaining the joke
The type of pastry used to make cream puffs and eclairs is called choux pastry, which is pronounced "shoe" because french is one of the few languages with worse spelling to pronunciation mappings than english
