The twitter feed from Greggs is worth a look for their Piers Morgan put-down.

What did somebody tell Piers where to shove his opinions?

Well if the glove fits. He has that evangelist streak that makes it a credible proposition.

Why do people get so revved up about all things Vegan?

top trolling by the Greggs social media guy on twitter.

Piers M: Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns.

Greggs: Oh hello Piers, we've been expecting you.

That put down is amazing! I donโ€™t get it, why the hate? I know just as many colleagues who are dicks as I do vegans who are.

Just popped in for my morning bacon ration. There is a vegan tax, the vegan sausage rolls are 5p more than the meat ones.

Pretty much every tweet from Alan Sugar is doing just that.

I think that tells you all you need to know about the quality of the "meat" in the normal ones 🤢

As above

The "meat" in a normal sausage roll is actually so far removed from real meat that this vegan roll is meant to be quite good and taste a lot like it's "meat" equivalent.

Yet to give it a try but there's a Greggs opened up, this week, next door but one from the office.... I'm going to do a Coke/pepsi style taste challenge ... I'll let you know the results.

Depends whose sausage meat it is.

This has just reminded me of something I saw a while back while randomly trawling the internet, I wonder if Piers has seen it!

There were some great responses to Piersโ€™ tweet, someone asked if heโ€™d been on Grindr, someone else suggested Ed taken a dump in a flannel...
Morgan and dTrump - the two people Iโ€™d most like to punch repeatedly in the face. Does that make me a bad person?
Actually, you know what? I really donโ€™t care if it does!

They aren't getting the Vegan ones until next week, in my local.

So the blind taste test is going to have to wait.

As a Greggs fan*, bring it on.

I like a good veggie sausage and I doubt they'll get it drastically wrong.

*Maximum Greggs spend - ยฃ17 for two after a delayed flight at Manchester airport.
'Two of everything, please'.

Now limited to a Steak Bake/Cheese and Onion Pastie combo every so often, as I've discovered Haffners 🙂

PM has had a go at McDonaldโ€™s too (vegetarian happy meals apparently)

They have responded in a similar fashion to Greggs...

I really don't see the point of PM.

He should be fired into the surface of the moon.

I would venture into Greggs to try this new product but I've washed in the last week so would look out of place in there.

Well it's obviously because there's only so much room on the counter, so by introducing the Vegan option they'll have to stop making the RealMan(r) version immediately and forever more.

It's a slippery slope, after all you simply cannot get pissed in Pubs any more, they've stop selling RealMan(r) pints and it's all 0% stuff now.

They'll be pulling up all the petrol stations and replaced them with Charging Points for EVs.

You won't be able to buy a non-E Bike any more and the remaining few mechanical bikes are being banned.

Straight Marriage - Banned.
Genders - Banned.
Vegetarians and Pescetarians - Banned, must try harder.

Oh God, won't Trump save us all!

the RealMan(r) version.

The one where theres a really nice looking picture of it, but when it actually turns up, it looks like a dogs breakfast?

Form an orderly queue.

That's those horrendous McD breakfast wrap things isn't it?

Itโ€™s against the will of the people! 😂

I canโ€™t see me swaying from my usual steak bake or cheese and onion pasty with a sausage roll chaser, but if this means my vegan friends can share in the joy of the purveyors of pastry-based loveliness, Iโ€™m all for it 😃

Well it does confirm that PM is just a gob for hire these days, wish twitter would just replace his tweets with that trump kiss pic

I know Iโ€™m really simple, but what is actually in a vegan sausage roll? I know itโ€™s only vegetables but how do they get that to taste like a sausage?

I had a smoked tofu hotdog once, tasted like the real deal.

As for Greggs, best quality floor sweeping.
