pig in a poke

'pig in a poke' is an idiom meaning a thing that is bought without first being inspected, and thus of unknown authenticity or quality. a "poke" is a sack, so the image is of a concealed item being sold. let that be a caveat emptor.

A fun shot. I didn't know what a poke was till I moved down south.

I don't think they fancy being in the poke.....

I’m a bit worried that they might end up in the bag.

Fun capture and I enjoyed the narrative - I've heard that expression, but had no idea what it meant
