A chap today in the supermarket asked the assistant if they sold 'growlers' and where they were?
She looked bemused at him and said no - anyone know what a Growler is?

Avid Merrian thinks Lorraine Kelly has one.
Have you seen her growler?

Couldn't say for sure, but a Google search returned alot of those large cider bottles with a looped handle, and a kid's toy.

4-pint jugs of beer? I thought it was just an American thing.
Did he have an accent?
I assume that he wasn't looking for an iceberg?

I think he was probably refering to a meat pie.

"can you see my growler??" is originally from the program
Bo Selecta!!
With Avid Merriam, Not that I ever watched it (Really, I diddnt)
You can get t-shirts with the saying printed on them, aswell as other things..
with reference to "what is a growler" - in Bo Selecta, I believe they were referring to a certain piece of the male anatomy.
But yes, a "Growler" is a meat pie  -- its come form the bo selecta thing, and yes, if you work it out, you can see the link.

The term growler as used for a pork pie has been around for many years, long before Bo Selecta. Regarding anatomy it is descriptive of female anatomy not male.

A growler is also what old Teddy Bears have in their tummy's to make them growl when they're topsy turveyed.

I'm quite partial to a quick nibble on a growler but I've never paid for the privilege

It is certainly one meaning but I do not think you would go into a supermarket and try to buy that particular item (which was where this thread originally started).

A growler is indeed a pork pie. Sorry I can't post a random picture off the web to show you.
