Game of Thrones‘s Hot Pie Sells Direwolf-Shaped Loaves IRL
WARNING: Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7 ahead.
Fans of Game of Thrones in the U.K. had a chance to try that delicious bread Arya love made by Hot Pie himself.
In anticipation of last Sunday’s episode, “Stormborn,” Ben Hawkey, the actor who plays Hot Pie on GoT, partnered with Deliveroo, a London-based food delivery service to open up his own shop.
The online shop was called “You Know Nothing John Dough” (because of course it was), and it was selling direwolf-shaped loaves for £1.
Hot Pie made a surprise appearance on last weeks episode, followed by the comeback of Arya’s long-lost direwolf, Nymeria, so the loaves came at a very convenient time.
There was no physical location for the bakery, and unfortunately, the window for orders has already closed.
Hawkey said via High Snobiety:
“Hot Pie’s Direwolf loaves are a favorite for Game of Thrones fans, and people are always asking me for the secret of my recipe. I can’t share that, but Deliveroo customers will have the chance to try them themselves. You don’t even need to take a dangerous walk down the King’s Road to visit, it comes to you.”
Marshmallow Peeps Mystery Flavors 2016
Marshmallow Peeps are an Easter season staple. Peeps are certainly one of the best Easter candies of all time. The ooey gooey sugar-coated marshmallow confections have also made their presence known in several holidays throughout the year.
In recent years, Peeps Brand has been releasing “Mystery Flavors”. This year the company released 3 mystery flavors. They are basically white peeps that showcase a mystery flavor that the company doesn’t already market. The peeps may be color-less (so you can’t cheat and guess by the coloring), their aroma and taste sure do allow for the fun of guessing what the actual flavor could be.
I bit the bullet and decided to perform a Peep taste-test. In the name of science and whatnot… you know? So here are my results.
The instant smell, once I opened the package, of Mystery Flavor #1 was chocolate. It smelled of delicious chocolate. Knowing that the Peeps Brand already has a chocolate flavored Peep, I knew that there had to be more to this mystery flavor.
Upon actually biting into the Peep, I could tell the taste was a complex version of chocolate. My guess is mocha.
Actual Flavor: Chocolate Milk
When I opened the package of Mystery Flavor #2, the smell was immediately known. It’s weird. I always find it odd when a savory item is turned into a sugary confection. So the first aroma that I smelled was sweet. Then came the flavor… popcorn!
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the popcorn flavored jellybean, so I can’t compare it to that. But when I bit into the Peep, the flavor of sweet popcorn filled my mouth. My guess is popcorn.
Actual Flavor: Buttered Popcorn
Mystery Flavor #3 smelled very fruity when I opened the package. There wasn’t really a discernible fruit smell. Once I bit into it, I could taste the cherry flavor. But it was a strong cherry flavor. So it had to be a more complex version of cherry. My guess is black cherry.
Actual Flavor: Sour Cherry
