Art is not one of my strong points, and apparently neither is food!

When I did my short art course, I believe Gainsborough said this was his favourite painting. The 3rd pig didn't have his snout in the trough 😂

Brilliant @Cleoriff

[Oxonian]

Thank you for organising as usual @Mi-Amigo, my low score was not completely unexpected. 

Well done to everyone else and thank you to @gmarkj for sharing the wooden spoon with me ! 😀
