Black Monk Posted February 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2018 High street bakery Greggs has been a British favourite since 1939, but one diehard fan has claimed its famous pasties could have been a favourite as far back as the sixteenth century. Twitter user Luke (@goopery), from Manchester, couldn't resist tweeting the baker when he spotted something that that bore a striking resemblance to a Greggs Steak Bake in Hans Holbein's iconic painting of Tudor king Henry VIII. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5422421/A-Greggs-pasty-appears-hidden-Henry-VIII-painting.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically yes, legally considered clothing where I live (which is a blessing at times but more often a horrible, horrible curse) . The quirks in language between the two nations always crack me up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god it didn't smell like his ulcerated leg did after he was injured whilst jousting in 1536. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
