Mince Pie Appreciation

I was expecting this thread to make an appearance soon. Wonder if Greggs are still doing 'em this year...

Obvz. They've been doing them since I was at uni, no reason for them to stop. I might wait a bit though until my next mince pie. Don't want to peak too soon.

me too, until at least December

What are you, a flippin monk? I'm thinking mid November at the most!

naw, December is earliest I can do them, or I'll be massive by end of the year!

Yeah Greggs won the taste test last year closely followed by Sainsburys

The clocks haven't even gone back yet you greedy, greedy bastards.

picked a pack up in waitrose this morning, just the thing for munching during a long drive

tra-la-la-la-laa, la-la-la-laaaa

pro-tip, avoid pricey costa et al, pick up fresh pastry in waitrose (say 1.75 for an almond croissant), brandish waitrose savings card, accept free coffee, at least £3 better off

I need to put this thread on ignore until December.

Picking some up on the way home.

One does not simply ignore the availability of mince pies.

Unless one plans to avoid getting fat(ter) until Christmas

If only there was some physical activity to counteract the added calories... Maybe something involving wheels. Someone could even set up a forum for it.

Bloody better be! Greggs' pies are the best!

Mince pies can be found up here. But not clotted cream. So they are rendered pointless.

Which is good, as last time I was in the UK I destroyed an industrial sized tray of clotted cream in a week. I nearly considered a DIY bike degreaser I-V to Clear the veins after. Evil/beautiful stuff...

A week?
Fuck me. You need to work on your cream and pastry intervals.
Your insulin spikes need to be bigger.
Perhaps you could use

Shall we have a competition to see who can get diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before Christmas?

This can be the anti-weight loss thread!

The Weight Loss thread used to be the place to go for tasty info on cakes, biscuits and general snacking goodness. Been spoiled by all those paeloquionalettuceskinnycyclist types imo.

Trust me - said activity barely keeps me in check as it is.

The only reason I got to Greggs is for mince pies, no go until December tho.

It was a fucking massive tray.

This catering sized one on the right. Meant to buy enough to share.

You should donate your arteries to science. They must be teflon-lined or something.

I think you need to free the data.
Without the data this is meaningless.
