[Closed] Gotta love Greggs!

Has anyone else noticed that the most nutritionally pious seem to be the most miserable buggers?
I guess bad food can be good for you.

As for sausage rolls, it's pink muck piped into a fatty pastry, no thank you.

...but it's really tasty with some HP sauce on it.

Although, I should say I have never had a Greggs, but sausage roll is a sausage roll, yo!

Hmmmmm, pieous.

Wandered into the local Greggs on my lunch. The smell of it made me wander out pretty fast. I'll stick to my burrito* thanks 🙂

*veggie one at that

I'm laughing at all of your pathetic trans fat laden cravings whilst sipping a kale and spinach smoothie. Stick to your class and put your Gregg's postings on some bloody soccer forum please.

I was impressed with Dumfries, it had 3 Greggs & you could see one of the others from the doorway of one. & they do bridies in Scottish Greggs, unidentifiable "meat" pie beats steak bake every time

Usual STW middle class sanctimony

wanting to be able to taste what you eat is middle class? 😉

I'm all for cheap eats, I just don't get greggs, it's rank

Waaaaaay too much bait on that hook.

Careful now, too much iron can be fatal. 8)

The reason I used to go to the Greggs near my last work was because the canteen food looked and smelled that bad that a walk in the wind and rain to the local Greggs was a better option!

That and hangovers.

*applauds* 😀

very good!

I feel I must confess. I popped into Greggs again yesterday and once again succumbed to the 2 for £1 Belgian Buns. 😳

However I did a 20mile mtb ride in the evening and my riding pal thought I had been taking steroids such was my hill climbing ability.

Perhaps I've discovered something?

A man does not need to justify his cake or meat purchases to anyone, especially himself.

Have they gone upmarket? I had a look inside a Greggs about a year ago out of curiosity and it all looked like a load of cheap crap to me... 😕

Rockape63 - it's not just Belgian buns that do this. Bakewell pudding is like rocket fuel (it evens comes with a crash shortly after).

There's a Greggs in Newcastle that has a sit-in area. Is this what passes for a romantic date in tha toon?

Just had two morrisons scotch pies. How the hell i got to the end of the first and still decided to proceed with the second is worrying. Muck.

Back to Greggs - Chargrilled chicken Oval bite and a drink £3.50? Who do they think they are fortnum and bleeding masons? £1 Bakery in preston for real value (don't think too hard about the contents) gluttony for me.

+1, utterly vile! I just don't understand the obsession! Subway, West Cornwall Pasty Co, Burger King, various other vendors of sweaty food, but just not Greggs!

Says more about you than it does about the purveyors of affordable, yet tasty, pastry-encased, slightly over-greasy loveliness, brother Wopster. 😉

Anyway... this thread is useless without pictures. Have you seen my bike?.....

😀

Have you EVER ridden that bike Binners? Mine was only that clean once!

(nice transfer btw!)

It gets ridden all the time. Thats a piccie from when I just built it. It doesn't look anywhere near that clean now. Still not cleaned it from Mondays night ride 😀

Nice to see the middle class angst standards are kept up.

I suppose you only eat expensive crap.

looks like they're expanding into other ways of presenting their animal derived pink processed shite

I've never been into a Greggs. Am I missing out?

I like the Chicken slice, havent had one for about a year now. Nearest Greggs is about 14 miles away.

I just wish they still did chicken and mushroom pies. It's all 'slices' now.

Could one not purchase a number of slices and reconstitute them into a pie?

I imagine it would be more a case of re-re-re-constituting it!

Is there anything 'in' Greggs food that is bad? I.e. unusually high fat or thats hydro sats? Otherwise I don't see an issue. A muffin is a muffin its not rocket science and a slice has pastry- thats not rocket science.

Moderation and I think because its 'cheap' the inverted-snobs howl with anger.

I don't think there is actually much "wrong" with Greggs, it's just not particularly high quality. I can get a better bacon butter or pizza in several places but it's convenient and cheap and not inedible.

For those who overdo it, we still have an NHS.

It's a sad fact that people who've spent their life eating cheap crap that tastes like re-cycled garbage and think they're getting a flavoursome treat because they don't know any better, always make the assumption that more expensive food won't taste any different.

The phrase "sad little bunnies" was invented just to describe them.

What if you can't stretch to Dorset-sourced organic Lamb for lunch?

Greggs is lunch. Unless you regularly fine dine every lunchtime why take umbrage at the place?

Yep, Alain Ducasse or Greggs...they're your options!

🙄 You're a cretin aren't you?

You can get a Sainsbury's Taste the Difference sandwich, fruit (or crisps) and a drink for £3.

Despite the protestations of so many fat ****ers out there you don't have to subside on the worst food known to man unless you want to spend millions.

Not that the Sainsbury's offering is likely more healthy, but IMO they taste vastly nicer!

I'm sorry you lost me there with that argument. I don't eat crisps from anywhere. I also don't eat the sandwiches that any supermarket turns out. Boots being by far the worse.

Greggs don't do a bad job. It also attracts people who don't look healthy and big purely because it attracts ALOT of people from offices and for some reason people tend to focus on the overweight who shop there. Go look at a queue tomorrow lunchtime, see how big people are on a whole shopping there.

I don't eat crisps from anywhere

You are [b]so[/b] missing out.

The only crisps-related product I will occassionally eat is fish and chips from West Yorkshire.

Ooh get njee 😆

To be fair, I haven't actually eaten any of Gregg's "food" products either hot or cold.

Tell you what, I'll buy one of their "meat pies" on Saturday, in the interests of fair play, and tell you what I think. 8)
