Alright who is in Michigan? You didn't tell me there's a Scottish Bakery.

Ackroyd's Scottish Bakery

I had to find out from a random who I'm friends with because we both belong to the same crochet group on facebook. ROAD TRIP !!!!

I have posted about it before on the UK foods thread, I think. It's tiny and doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but it's a treasure trove on the inside! I think they ship too.

Thank goodness I missed that! Pies are not on my diet plan and it would probably break me. Their pies, pasties and sausage rolls are excellent, as are their scones. I wasn't keen on their sausages (mostly because they were beef rather than pork). They also have various seasonal things - advent calendars at Christmas, Easter Eggs and hot cross buns at easter. I really do love that place.

You need pies to survive NatashaB. If you can't have pies why do humans have pie holes

I believe the default setting for a Pie hole is "open".

Hence the need to occasionally tell people to shut theirs.

I know, this is just sheer torture for us who don't have access to such heavenly delights.

Did you see that I got an order from The English Pork Pie Co a couple of weeks back. I split an order with 2 friends so we could share shipping costs. Scotch Eggs, Pork Pies, Bacon, Sausages, Sausage Rolls and other baked goodies - it was all really really good.
