When I used to work I went on a diet of a pie a day for lunch and was tested for cholesterol and found to be very unhealthy. So, I don't care how much they tax these pasties things because if eaten regularly will increase the cholesterol alarmingly. Apart for some I reckon many of them contain shyte like bum holes, pricks, guts and floor scrapings.

Cameron claims to be a tory, but is a disgusting left wing, socialist, nanny state advocating, trotskyite, disguised only with a blue tie. His idea of lifting this country out of the doldrums is to tax everything like the commie he is, when clearly we should be declaring war and invading lesser countries and pillaging them for our own coffers.

The clue's in the title - Value Added Tax. Warming it up explicitly for the purpose of someone eating it is "value added". Serving something straight from the oven isn't (if it had to be heated up to make it what it is anyway e.g. bread).
Whether it goes cold before you eat it is irrelevant.

And Pastygate is a misnomer anyway - most people who know about Greggs go for the sausage rolls!

A Pie, Pasty, Sausage Roll etc is made by heating the product (the pastry). Therefore the 'heating' of the product is a requirement not a serving suggestion. Indeed, Fish & Chips, Chinese, Indian, Pizza etc etc, all require heating in order to be eaten. Unless you have a some strange liking for raw potatoes, fish, meat etc.

Eating a pie / pasty / sausage roll cold (if properly cooked before), while perhaps not desirable, is acceptable. Don't confuse "raw" with "cooked but now cold".

If you didn't 'overcook' every post you make you might almost be credible. As it is you are just plain silly.
