What is wrong with a cheese and onion pasty*? They're the best things Greggs sell.
* no idea if they are vegan or even vegetarian mind.

So who's tried a Greggs vegan sausage roll/steak bake?

If you've been veggie for any length of time you'd realise how predictably uninspiring a cheese and onion pasty is. Thankfully things seem to be changing and manufacturers are starting to realise that cheese and onion isn't the be all and end all of a meat free pasty
It also isn't very vegan

They could make a vegan cheese version. A cheese and onion pasty barm is a perfect carb fix.

Not just greggs. For a long time they have been virtually the only option in every bakery, every chippy, every garage and corner shop, every supermarket chilled aisle.

I remember a year or two ago when it was announced that Greggs had new vegan options and I was hoping it would be a pasty but it turned out to be a Mexican bean wrap (as if we needed another one of them)! Sausage roll is a step in the right direction.

They did do some sort of katzu bean bake thing. Not sure if it was vegan though, but it didn't have any obvious dairy in it

Is there no-one in the North to say on National Media that the Pound Bakery has had TWO for a pound veggie sausage rolls for ages ( might be vegan, not sure) Best hangover cure in the world and TWO for a pound. TWO.

Not just the north. They have them in the Midlands too. They are vegan, but they're a bit bland (and more often than not, sold out ime)

Who am I to say you're wrong
That twat almost makes me ashamed to support Arsenal. I didn't mind too much when the pope or Bin Laden were gooners but Piers Morgan is a shit in the bog with no paper.
Don't know how much better vegan sausage rolls are for planet earth but I suppose it is a step in the right direction. If twat face doesn't like them then big up Greggs Vegan sausage rolls.

That would only lead to an even bigger boycott by meat eating Greggs customers.

I have learn a new fact today- I adore them as makes a change from when eating out having to eat something wonderfully healthy - and two for a quid. The saltiness bites through the blandness ;-)

D'ya think people will actually boycott Greggs because of this? Some might say they will but I doubt anyone will actually follow through on the threat.
Next time I'm passing a Greggs in a state of hunger I will pop in to see if they have one. I'm all for more choice for everyone so it's a
from me.It would be great to have more and more decent meat free options available so people can start choosing them because they like them rather than just because they are someone who doesn't eat meat. I often fantasise about restaurants serving meat free dishes just as part of their menu rather than an afterthought as the meat-free "option".

Am I missing something or are you talking about putting a pasty inside a barm? Not judging, just intrigued.

You can't complain at 2 for a quid though. How much are the greggs ones?

Found out last week that the Greggs up north have stopped selling their cheese savoury stottie. Very disappointing.

Was that the reason they gave?

In which country?I don't think you're missing anything. It's a northern thing apparently

None, just that they had stopped selling them awhile ago (I always get one when I’m up that way).
I didn’t check if they still sell stottie cakes, fucking hope so.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
Ive witnessed a pie butty (Liverpool) I've also seen a super noodle butty (Durham) it's definately a northern thing.I don't think you're missing anything. It's a northern thing apparently

I'm seeing lots of people on Facebook and Twitter getting really angry about this. Lots of unbritishness, and we should be a proud nation of meat eaters. It just doesn't make sense. I can't get my head around someone not eating meat annoying someone else.
lots of people? All I've seen is a lot of people laughing at Pier Morgan, who probably got paid to slag it off.
