Pretty decent (as far as a Greggs pasty can be)

A Greggs festive bake

What's in it??

I'm having veggie sausages in a pitta with hot sauce, ketchup and mayo.

Greggs

It's the time of year you've all been waiting for - the return of our famous Festive Bake!

As tasty as ever it combines succulent pieces of chicken breast, sage & onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce. All encased in golden puff pastry with a crunchy crumb topping. YUM!

 

[neonwilderness]

Today I’m having scrambled egg on buttery seedy toast with loads of salt and pepper. Plus a cup of tea.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

What's in it??

Minced santa and chopped up elves?

Preferable to the reality (sorry neonwilderness but I'm sure it won't affect your enjoyment). I'm still angry with McDonald's for stopping the festive pies, was hoping Greggs had stepped up but apparently not

Didn't know McDs did pies - that sounds full of wrongness. What on earth is the world coming to.

The festive bake doesn't sound too appetising tbh - more a gimmick. Pasties should be pasties, not full of any old stuff they've found in their warehouses. There is no improving on the good old cheese and onion pasty after all.

Oh there is much to unpack here barleymow, you're lucky it's almost time for me to get my kids from school.

BRIEFLY. McDonald's fruit pies are food of the gods, though granted not really pies but more tinned fruit deep fried in golden batter. Festive pies followed the form but were mincemeat and custard. One of those things that really shouldn't work but is in fact perfect.

I'm part Cornish so I have to pretend to care about pasty filling but I've run out of time.

I've got loads of time, so whenever you're ready fill me in.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I suspect neonwilderness has shares in Greggs.

I was almost done tbh just the pasty stuff but I've lost all enthusiasm for it now. Plus I love a cheese and onion pasty.

 

[Rebelda]

Beans on toast with brown sauce. Some cavolo nero with oil and lemon juice. A cox - the best of all apples and a marshmallow, because it was there.

 

[polly]

A brown roll with salted ricotta, pesto, tomato and lettuce, then loads of crisps.

 

[neonwilderness]

Penne, chorizo and ragu leftover from last night's tea. Maybe a Crunchie later if I'm still hungry.
