Gregs? You filthy little bugger

Gregs? You filthy little bugger

I didn't beleive it either 'til i tried 'em.
As far as shop-bought ones go, they are the bollocks.

Greggs:

Public perception = greasy steak bakes and sausage rolls

Reality = top twat mince pies and baguettes

top twat! he he

it's true though

Oh shit. It's that time of year again.

Greggs. I'm coming at you.

I just smashed my way through 2x pies from Gail's (I know, wanker right?).
I give them a: 7/10

Greggs? Even I haven't been into one of those since 2005.

But, the forum has spoken.

wonders if they do apple pies

oh man I need a pie

The first thing I do when I get I land in Heathrow on the 1st of December is eat a mince pie. Looking forward to it.

Gregg's is the best. Though has anyone mentioned that they are also pretty cheap too?

has anyone started with the mincie pies yet? December 1st onwards surely?!

I was smashing the back doors off them a couple of weeks back, taking a break now till Dec, got serious fatigue

slow and steady.

I will be fuelling my rides form Dec 1st onwards solely with mince pies.

7 down so far, still 5 weeks to go, I reckon at 10 a week, so near 60 this year...

Started last weekend on Asda's Extra Special Luxury Mince Pies. Decent amount of well-balanced sweet/spicy filling, with nice pastry, crumbly, but doesn't fall apart too easily. 7/10

^ just had two of those fuckers with a cuppa - lovely!

couldn't wait

I wish I'd saved one of the two I bought earlier for my 2.30 coffee.

Gail's were doing a 'deal' of 5 mince pies for £5. I pointed out that this was in no way, a deal.

Someone at work has proclaimed they "have a lot mincemeat" and they "make a decent pastry".

I hope to fuck this means mince pies at work.

sounds like an empty brag to me

Seriously. Hard work to beat store purchased pies in my eyes.

Stores don't tend to do puff pastry ones though. Please educate me if I am wrong.
