  • Just a suggestion but check the pie carefully, hopefully the ingredients are listed separately as often wheat flour is used to thicken the filling.  It depends how sensitive you are.  I can get away with the odd bit like that as I'm intolerant rather than allergic.

    Oh good call, I'll do that and if a no go I will just make my own filling. I think mine is intolerance too but rather not have the hot flushes and headache and tum pains. I have a full on allergy to milk and sulphites and the results of accidentally ingesting those is like an exorcist scene. 
  • Thanks 🐞 will check for sure! I've got quite good at replicating their pies on the cheap - only bought them as they were on offer. So I may just make my own with some GF ready made pastry that KK told me about in the shops 👏🏼😁
  • Oh and yesterday was a NSD 👏🏼 I'm getting good at these when I'm at work. Stay in the lunch room instead of venturing into town seems to be the trick 🤣 and it's hard as town is only five minutes walk away ....

    What you might find (def has here) that once you’re off gluten you become much much more sensitive to it.  There is no way I could eat the middle of a pie without being really ill.

    Cute ornament. I’m guessing it looks like an old friend? ❤️
    Tree fluffing is one of those jobs that sends you slightly ‘blind’ - you have to fluff, walk away, refresh your eyes, fluff, refresh your eyes, fluff, etc
