Spend some time walking in cold hills and you'll build up a voracious appetite, and appetite is crucial in determining how much you enjoy your food. That's why my favourite food moments are connected to this bakery in The Lake District and others like it. Their pies, pasties and sausage rolls are neither healthy nor fancy, but boy have I enjoyed them, especially when taking them out of my backpack on a windswept peak.
It's one of a chain of shops in the UK that even turns up in a song by David Thomas Broughton:-
Can't get a job, can't tie down a living
Can't get by on the pittance they're giving
Can't afford a pasty from the Gregg's Bakery
But that's not the weight I carry with me...
^ This, btw, is a short version of a song that stretches out to a hypnotic 9 mins on his album,
