Greggs

...

rofl

I hate people with stubby front teeth.
Are they born like that or have they been ground down from eating like a cow?

Fuck, what the fuck is wrong with brits? That whole island looks like the retarded mutant from the goonies

The new pricing is annoying, who the fuck wants to eat Greggs in the store.

Centuries of inbreeding

...

Are you fucking kidding? Do you seriously think we don't have sausage rolls over here? Goddamn, you are so misguided on what the US is actually like.
I grew up in a small town in Texas that had a serious German heritage. Pumpernickel sausage rolls were a STAPLE of my childhood. Even during school, whenever we got to leave (like to take the school paper to the printer), my friends and I would stop and get sausage rolls on the way back to school. And that's just my personal story, there's hundreds, if not thousands of other places in the country that do sausage rolls, meat pies, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be more than happy to come and try Greggs, I've heard enough about it. But don't assume that we're "missing out".

you need to chill the fuck out faggot

No, you need to fuck off.

You from the town West?

texas is a shitty state being overrun with mexicans and californians and has shit tier bbq

Nope. Further south west than West.

And when I say small town, it WAS a small town when I was growing up, but auslanders have made it explode.

Like most of the sandwiches, they stopped the mango chicken one though, arguably the best one.

And you're a literal faggot

Ooooo, you really got me there. Fuck off, you don't know anything about Texas.

Sausage rolls are shit
Cheese/onion, steak bakes are really good
Sandwiches are better than Subways

>Sandwiches are better than Subways

Well, that's not fucking hard to do. Subway sucks. Luckily, here in the US, we have a plethora of great sandwich places. I'm sorry you guys have to contend with Subway at all.

This. I'm American, but whenever I visit the UK Gregg's is my first stop. Fucking sausage rolls.

Hes right about California BBQ, its not even worthy of the name BBQ, its better described as fire roasted bland shit with all the good fat removed before cooking.

I haven't had a stake bake in a shamefully long time. Probably should sort that out.

Their baguettes are pretty decent as well, cheap as hell.

Sadly Greggs is too 'intimate' for me so I can't go in very often. I like McDonalds, KFC etc due to drive thru and even if I have to walk in their is a big counter seperating me and the staff. In Greggs it is me, then the food then the staff. I have the same problem with Subway but it is even worse in Greggs because the shops tend to be even smaller.
I haven't been to Greggs in 4 years. The last time I asked for a cheese and onion pasty and the assistant asked me to repeat myself. Felt so fucking nervous and tried to pretend I said 'just squeezed my bunion, nasty!'. Bent and grabbed my foot then limped out pretending I wasn't hungry. Fucking can't handle it. Sometimes I have the Iceland Greggs stuff but it isn't the same.

nice copypasty

Got called a racist in Greggs today.

>Steak 'n Bake.

What made you as a yank want to try it? Did you just see the locals inside and thought you would dive in?

Rocky road?

>a serious German heritage

What has that got to do with anything?

>Pumpernickel
But that is a type of bread. Wait, you don't think we are talking about a roll with sausages in it do you?

I'm Canadian and british food doesn't usually do anything for me but sweet fuck I want a Greggs pasty badly. I don't even know why, it's probably not very good but Greggs seems pretty based.

>"""great""" """britain"""

Whats wrong with it?

I can understand the sandwiches and butties but why do people choose to buy pasties at Greggs?

In most places there's a Cornish pasty shop relatively near by.

puff pastry, shortcrust, yeast dough, it's all the same concept. Don't try to pretend it's anything special m8.

It's cheap and not bad for the price. Iirc that pasty chain starts at like £3

To some extent, you are right, a lot of bakeries do Pasties far better than Greggs but for some reason, the smell drags you in and you impulse buy.

>tfw they recently opened a fucking cooplands in my town
>greggs is in the next town that's a 20 minute drive so fuck that
>cooplands shitty cold pastry

I want warm delicious greggs ffs why the fuck do greggs not have warm cabinets, instead they let it just go stone fucking cold piss offff!!!!

holy shit mango chicken was the shit

luckily a sandwich shop I live near does even better ones. pure bliss.

meant cooplands not having warm cabinets*

I don't understand how they don't.

just do what I do desu, give them your phone number and ask for text alerts when the pasties are just coming out of the oven

Greggs is good but a Greggs in the Gateshead Metrocentre was where I saw the fattest people I've seen in all of the UK and frankly some of the fattest people I've ever seen anywhere.

I'm a musician. Many of the best crew and tour managers are Brits and Scots. When touring the US they'll suffer through everyone on the bus talking about BBQ and burritos. When you get on their home turf they hip you to things like sausage rolls, meat pies. pasties, baltis, munchy boxes and the sweet baked treats they bring on the bus around holidays. By the time you make it to Australia the pie shop hardly seems like a foreign thing. (But the anchor gigs in Japan to cover that trip provide plenty of legit "foreign" experiences).

Only been on a few tours like that, and those days may be behind me now. But what a fucking experience.

>Live in Newcastle
>Home of Greggs
>Greggs on every street like you'd imagine a Starbucks
>Somehow never go in despite the strong smell of temptation

I do love their steak bakes though.
Do Americans have an equivalent to Sausage Rolls or not? I'm pretty sure there's some European knockoffs.

>bong pizza

We have that kind of sausage, but it's usually served alongside eggs on a plate or in a sandwich made with a roll (or biscuit in the South). In the South it's often made into sausage gravy, then poured over a biscuit, which is a totally delicious abomination. In major cities you'll sometimes find a place that specializes in English or Australian baked goods like meat pies, and they usually have sausage rolls. They'll be a lot more than a quid though, because such places tend to be pretty hipster.

Usually when you find a sausage baked into a roll of some sort it's made from a hot dog, or pepperoni in the case of a calzone (or pepperoni roll in West Virginia, which is godawful).

In Northern Michigan we have Cornish pasties, because of immigrant miners. Of course the American version is twice the size of the UK example. It's also hyper-regional. The further you get from the Upper Peninsula the more rare they become.

I've never tried greggs pizza. Didn't even know they made it. Any here tried it?

english guy here. greggs is shit.

What do you suggest?
Am in London.

Glaswegian here, I love getting a greggs after signing on. They give away free heroin at my local one

>tfw the one round the corner from me is either closed or getting a refurb atm

I rarely go in there but I'm still slightly sad about it. That said, their sausage rolls are grim and I will never forgive myself for being memed into buying one.

That looks awesome. Hope it crosses the pond

>british journalism

Why go to greggs. Maybe because im not a poorthener i dont see the appeal. Have all of your towns been so commercialised that all local bakeries have gone. I have two and a pasty shop and id go to all before greggs. Better price and better food. Greggs is just a ploy to give the working class heart disease anyway

>Journalism
>Daily/Sunday Sport

Is anyone else surprised that Greggs never sold scotch eggs? They have every other one of the convenience snack foods, sandwiches, pies, pasties and sausage rolls but not scotch eggs.

fucking Greggs

they took over my local bakery which was incredible, and I haven't been back since I tried the Greggs version of the curry slice and it was utter shit

The Dorchester.

Subway is shit tier. They rode to the top with the early fast casual healthy dining places and exoended so fast that theres 4 or 5 in every small to medium sized town

Its the epitome of corporate strategy fucking a place up. Penny pinching and small but frequent price increases have created a low value propesition. 7.50 for a foot long sweet onion teriyaki with barely any meat and super skimped veggies? Fuck the fuck off

Thankfully theres like 100 awesome places like Firehouse, Jersey Mike, etc to replace it.

Longshot but has anyone tried Cousins? Only in a few midwestern states and Arizona but its fuckin god tier.

>MUH HERITAGE!!!!!

>Dough and pastry are the same thing

You're a fucking idiot and no doubt one of the fuck heads who call a pizza a pie.

>Brits and Scots

I once had a yank show me a picture of a hotdog in a breadroll and claim they had sausage rolls.

>In Northern Michigan we have Cornish pasties

No you don't and it's always hilarious to see you claim such.

Rasheed.

It's just a cheap little pizza slice. It's obviously not restaurant quality but you're in Greggs. It is fine for what it is.

Thats the most British picture I've ever seen

>when you find a sausage baked into a roll of some sort it's made from a hot dog

JF are always just so hilariously stupid.

This is a great idea now that you mention it. Would love to see them male a reasonable one especially since a ton of 'gastropubs' are trying to flog them now.

Looks like a guard from Oblivion

Butty? Cuppa? You sound like an ass

i find it pretty amazing none of this things happen at a mcdonalds

Who the fuck designed that logo? Looks like a fucking post office, not a food establishment.

In that way, probably fairly accurately represents the brand.

There are very few good chain bakeries IME.

>2016
>eating grains

enjoy your death

>competing with a lame chain bakery
Who'd wanna?

shut up faggot you're making us look bad

He just wanted to get into smaller pants.

I will, after having lived a long fulfilling life, eating grains.

some people grind their teeth at night (not purposely)

Paul
There sandwiches are God tier

Are kolaches not our superior American version of this sausage roll?

there's no greggs anywhere near where i live, are they good? whats all the hype about?

What? You might as well say pandan bun is the superior steak pie or grilled plantains are the superior battered hake.

It's ironic.

post your scores lads

Where in the UK doesn't have a greggs nearby?

Not him, but I used to live in Oxford and I don't think there's one there.
But then I went to Manchester for University and greggs saved me on some cold grim winter days with 80p meat and potato pasties and 20p sugary sugary ring donuts.

tea and coffee is dire, mind

why do these people look like some kind of evil elves who want to stuff you and then roast over a fire?
