I would love a recipe for a good throwing pie. Something with the weight to fly but soft enough to disintegrate on contact (without hurting too much) and thick enough to stay on my face.
The Yanks have Kool Whip, but what's the UK equivalent.
This is the stuff they should be sharing on celeb cookery shows, not prissy little starters that look like owl pellets.

Oh Hayley,
Long time reader and viewer of Splosh. I have collected your magazines from oh many, many, many years ago since Issue 18.
Yes we have in Canada or North America we have cool whip. When thawed properly, it is pretty perfect for splutting. When I first got into WaM one of the cheapest things we could get was those McCain frozen pies. At the time they were 99 cents each and it was easy to get 20, 40 or 60. If you thawed them to where they were still just a little cold, they would stick wonderfully and the Grahm cracker crusts split nicely.
Personally, I have always preferred the real pies. More expensive but you really can't take away from the fact they are thick and will stay on your face wonderfully.
I know you also can use shaving cream like Julie uses, it doesn't taste great, but is still the thickest cream around.
Other things I have tried from the bakery, I have had them whip up some real cream and put them in pie crusts. Seems like they have these 2 kilo bags that they dump into the mixer and it makes a very nice, thick cream. It is the same thing they use to top their cream pies and a little cheaper because you are not using a filling.
For something lighter i have also had the same pie crusts filled with meringue. It is light, sticky and best used when it is still slightly warm as it sticks much better and spluts much better.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the whipped cream in the pie crust sounds good. Merringue would be too light for me. We have a great bakery not far from the studio, we may have to get a quote on some.
The term 'graham crackers' doesn't exist over here - it sounds like a demented game show host - and when Golden Grahams came out over here (I think they've gone again) everone wonder who Golden Graham was and why he gave his name to a cereal.

It is a cookie. Bakeries crumble these up and make a crust out of it.

I like Angel Delight (or McDougals catering version). It makes a great pie cos it's heavy and really thuds into your face. Not for lightweights! The cream sprays outwards and it stays in place. Mmmmm getting hot just thinking about it.

Properly defrosted cheesecake is awesome for squishing around in, and has that nice bit of weight to throw it at your chosen target 
Lots of thickly made up angel delight in a flan case with cream and chocolate sauce is fab...
also....cheap in iceland...pavlova with lots of cream on it has a great sitting in texture too... yummylicious.
ahhh, rambling on... i best go and get my shopping
