Every twenty years Pygg Iron, Equestria's premier metalworker makes a select amount of cast iron pans. They are considered the holy grail of Equestrian cooking, and only the very best chefs can wield one. When Peppermill learns that Ponyville will have the opportunity to sell just six, he goes on a crusade to earn the money to get one. But his firm beilef of not taking money for cooking could make it difficult...

Mr Merritt sez: expect smaller chapters for this one as I use my infamous (just write on the computer until it looks/feels right method of writing.

“I’m not…just a one trick…pony. There has to be…things I can…do around Ponyville that…others are willing to…give me bits to do.”

I do hope that you know that that sentence can be taken a number of ways out of context.

2263523 There are plenty of ways that sentence can be taken in context.

I suppose that Peppermill subscribes to the Mark Twain view on borrowing money. :ajsleepy: Otherwise, a loan might be the best way to gain the necessary funds if this situation is particularly time sensitive. Although, who would be willing to loan him such a sum (whatever it is exactly) could be a plot in and of itself.

There is only one solution, Bank robbery

Now his quest for awesome pans for cooking begins!

As a person currently working in retail, I can tell you that they simply can't tell you about all the potential situations that come up because you would die of old age before they could finish (if they didn't die first). That's the entire reason a good manager goes out of their way to make sure they're available for questions when such a situation does come up. That's the way life works sometimes.

Oh…bother…

He's starting to sound like a pony Alton Brown.

damn glad i don't work in retail.

on a separate note isn't it weird for ponies to buy leather (made from cows)rather than corduroy or satin or some such thing

why is the greatest pan made from a guy with a name for low grade mass produced metal

2290461 :rainbowlaugh:, probably his name pushed himself to be very best to prove his parents who named him that. Probably

This is probably one of the more unique ideas I've heard for a story. Simple, elegant. Very nice.

Mac > Applejacks with money ha!

Have Peppermill fix up something for Silver Spoon! Probably a romantic dinner? *wink nudge wink*

Don't beat yourself up this is betrer than half the fics on this site. Good luck to your future endeavors.
