Greggs

[mrs_overall]

I eat healthily but have to confess to the occasional weakness for a Greggs pastie. What are your views on Greggs?

[mrs_overall]

I found out this morning that a shoe shop in my town which closed down is soon to re-open as a Greggs. Yay!!!

[Smowball]

I do like their sausage rolls - very tasty!

[rockyracoon]

I like their steak bakes.

[Tilly2]

Well, a pastie will be cheaper than a pair of shoes.

[lady-janine]

a weakness MrsO. i would never have thought it.

[mrs_overall]

The shoe shop is no loss - they didn't go up to my size :-(

lol@ladyJ

Maybe I should have said indulgence rather than weakness

[deggers316]

there a greggs in brussel too

[starone]

Yes - their steak bakes are nice.

[humbersloop]

imo, they exist as an affirmation of the right of even the best among us to succumb to occasional moral turpitude and scarf the odd pasty, a steak slice at a push..

..the rest of the stuff they sell is pretty carp

[mrs_overall]

humber, I didn't know they did a carp pastie?

[Tilly2]

I have tried one sausage roll but didn't like the bright pink colour of the 'sausage'. One bite and in the bin.
I tried a pastie and found the filling too sloppy and gloopy but I ate that. I haven't bought anything from there since.

used to like their bridies, but gone off them.

The student alba likes their steak bakes.

Ordered a birthday cake years ago for the young alba, it was yummy.

[humbersloop]

manners forbade a more accurate description mrs o

[humbersloop]

tilly, the sausage rolls should come with a hazchem sticker, imo

adds hastily, other bakers are also available

[Iluvspikey]

I think they're a great company, built on good old-fashoned family values. I like the vegetable pastie or the cheese and onion. Their bacon roll and fresh coffee isn't bad either!

The Carp stuff, catering for Eastern European tastes? I believe Carp is considered a delicacy there.

[mrs_overall]

Sandy, yes. I have some Polish friends who have carp for Christmas dinner each year.

The sausage rolls look grim if you open them up - pink gloop - but they still taste good

[albaqwerty]

Does anyone know if DTC has any thoughts on Greggs pasties?

(asked with the most innocent of expression on her face)
