Papa John’s Mince Pie scrolls

I love Christmas time, because everyone starts selling mince pies. And everyone knows that mince pies are the best part of Christmas! And even Papa John's is back on the mince pie hype.

Mental Health and lockdown

This is slightly different to what I usually talk about, but I feel it is important and needs to be addressed. Mental health, to me, is just as - if not more - important as physical health, and 2020 has been a year that has truly tested us collectively. From the threat of a global … Continue reading Mental Health and lockdown →

Gregg’s Mince Pie

So this past weekend I have been curled up in bed with a horrific cold.

Naked without the oink bacon

Another day another bacon alternative! This stuff actually worked quite well. The taste wasn't perfect - you could tell it was a fake meat - but it did have a pretty satisfying crunch to it. I had this with a burger to make myself another posh burger, and it did add a nice extra texture … Continue reading Naked without the oink bacon →
