ALERT: Pasty Updates

[GrandOldTeam]

Big news today.

I found myself in a strange shop. It looked like Greggs and Sayers, but it was called "Cooplands".

I strolled up to their counter. There. Central. "Christmas Pasty".

I sneered. I looked for something more familiar. No sausage and bean pasty. Not even a baked bean pasty. The one remaining meat and potato pasty didn't look great. I pondered for a minute, before I could detect annoyance behind me for holding up the queue.

Curiosity got the better of me. "What's in a Christmas Pasty?"

Well, my vocabulary doesn't possess the superlatives to describe just how outrageous this pasty was.

I don't say this lightly.

It destroyed anything Greggs or Sayers have ever produced.

Find this mythical shop called 'Cooplands'. Purchase the 'Christmas Pasty'.

Thank me later.

They're from yorkshire and expanding fast.

First encountered them in leeds and they arrived in durham just after I did, opened up like 20 stores round here.

Their sausage rolls are amazing cheap. 4 large uns for a quid.

I think Sayers have them beat like. Think they'll be in for a bad time in merseyside.

it's got nothing on Greggs festive bake

I've never had a cooplands one so don't know what I'm basing this on

but rest assured I'm right

Enlightenment awaits you.

Why didn't you share this news?

THIS PLACE HAS GONE TO POT

Pffft.

If it don't contain beef, potato, swede and onion then I don't want it, frankly.

In Yorkshire, Cooplands are the main rivals to my not-quite-in-laws bakery business. To be fair, Cooplands urinates all over them.

Is that why they're so soggy?

Hang on Mr @GrandOldTeam

Are you saying this Christmas Pasty is better than the Greggs Festive Bake?

This is big.

This is big.

Without any doubt.

It makes Greggs Festive Bake look like Sayers' Mushroom pasty.

This is all well and good but where does it stand next to the pound bakery?

I heard bad things.

Evil, despicable things.

their food is hotter than the sun. You have to go there hours in advance of eating them before they are cool enough to eat.
