Another very good aspect of having a pie for breakfast is that if it is bought from the bakery, as well as acting as a hand warmer on the way home, it gives a different way to practice waiting to eat. A small, manageable wait. After all, the worst case is that the pie could be eaten on the walk. Mostly I am so busy peering into gardens that my mind is side tracked admiring all the flowers. I am not thinking about being quite hungry. I do manage to get it home, re-heat it a bit and serve it on a plate with a serviette to eat at a table.
Allowing hunger to develop is a physical state that I would not seek out very often. The Apply breakfast gives me a safe, brief experience of it.
