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

[Badgers]

Probably going try one. Don't really go to Greggs much but don't mind a sausage roll and sure this will be nice.

It really is a non-story of course. Greggs have a very efficient marketing team who are good at spending little but getting huge attention.

I’ve just had one about an hour ago. Quite tasty and less mess.
Settled better in my stomach than the arse and lips version.

If you had a vegan and a meat one at the same time does it become vegetarian?

Like if you have milk two days out of date and mix with milk that two days best before.

You do have to admire their marketing... The flip side being that you will be lucky to find somewhere where they haven't sold out though it seems. Although that may be down to underestimating the vegan demand. I've known people struggle to get those no bull burgers, sainsburys rarely have any of their vegan pizzas left or their vegan butter, and I've yet to go into a marstons pub when they don't have to go and check that they have all the stuff on their new vegan menu... Which is a good thing I guess

Yeah, ‘tis the same as for every bottle of red you drink, knock back a bottle of white and you don’t get pissed

Greggs sausage rolls are about 18% pork. The non-meat one could be 82% the same product, or even 100% what the sausage one is 82%.

Just tried one for my prelunch. Had to get a meat one too for balance, of course, NOT greed, honest.
The vegan sausage roll is delicious. Just as good as the meat - more herby than peppery. The pasty is possibly better it's flaky enough but not oily. Would scoff again.

There’s a Greggs about 5 mins from me and am a little peckish...

Tried to get one in the Wells Greggs . . . all sold out

Desperate Brits travel from town to town to get their hands on Greggs' new vegan sausage roll after the controversial pastry SELLS OUT in dozens of stores (and one woman says her son was left in tears)

The mail fell for a meme

One of my favourite recent memes, too. Here's the origin:

They didn’t have any at mine, either.

Will give one a go next week...

What the actual fuck?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Is that real or for something else?
If it's real its really hard to comprehend how they all got together to agree the blockade. How do they logically explain what they are doing and what they want?

I think it's just an opportunist photo moment during one of their pointless demos. I guess the vegan sausage rolls could be halal though

Seems like it was a march that coincidentally got stopped outside the Greggs.

They're nazis, that's just where the police stopped them.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Just tried one. Nice texture and flavour, though a little too salty for me.

This was posted on twitter, apparently from an EDL FB page. Its so ridiculous it has to be a parody.

That's gammon for you.

They're utter mugs if they've paid a fiver each buying in bulk.

It has to be a parody - even the idiots of the EDL can't be that stupid to get exercised about sausage roll ingredients.

Three left at Eccles Greggs, they're selling very well says Tracy.

I am very pleased to report mine was seriously delish. Flaky 'buttery' pastry, and a savoury herby squishy filling which is to my teeth and tongue quite indistinguishable from the meat-eaters porky mousse filling, though it has been a few years since I ate an animal one.

I would add more pepper personally perhaps. PROBABLY!

In all, speaking as Northerner with superior experience of pastry products, this would tick my sausage roll box any day of the week. It's not only big, but very, very clever of Mr Greggs and the Greggs family.
