BEWARE GREGGS sausage roll now 64p!!!!

zenseeker

Wow, a whole extra 9p, how will we ever stretch our budgets? If you really so poor that 9p is an issue, surely a Gregg's sausage roll is a luxury you can live without whether it's 55p, 83p or even £1.

They need the extra income as they want to rival Mcdonalds and Burger King and go global,

Its not as if the food is any good

Mmmmmm sounds lovely - could do with a bit of vacuum recovered vertabrae & some floor sweepings as a binding agent?

Have to say me and mine do eat 'em though - and only £2.00 for 4 where I live I think!

Better than burning the roof of your mouth off on one of their cheese n onion pasties! :mad:

oh dear... but if that is the price they are asking!!!!! Still, at least you can choose not to buy this item. Bit more tricky with a ferry to the mainland!

Less than 20% meat content (I am prety sure they use beef not pork )
Product weight: 103g, Energy: 1470 KJ/360 kcal, Protein: 8.5g, Carbohydrate: 24g, Fat: 25g, Salt: 2.2g.

Too be honest may cure your hunger but will block your arteries quicker !
Over half item full of salt/fat and carbs ! yummy

I sometimes work in Leeds and on the walk from the Metropole Hotel to Lovell Park I walk past seven branches of Greggs. They must love their sausage rolls in Leeds.

Actually this is pure ignorant speculation by the MSE Food Polis. Mention anything from MacD's, BK, KFC, Subway and Greggs and the holier than thou appear to cast aspersions and superiority.

We expect sausages and sausage rolls to be mechanically recovered bits of meat ranging from lips to anuses. But Greggs only use 100% Danish pork shoulder and belly to make their products:

But as I'm here, I feel I should. So what is inside a Greggs sausage roll? Is it the porcine equivalent of a chicken nugget - full of mashed up bone, brain, hoof and toe? 'Absolutely not!' exclaims Nigel, appalled.

'It's prime minced pork from Denmark.' Really? Just meat? 'Yes - pork shoulder and pork belly, all mixed in, just like you'd get in the butcher,' he says, rushing me into a hairnet and white coat, through to the grandly-named Savoury Production Facility and up to an enormous metal container full of very pink, very finely minced pork.
' And that's it? 'Yes, plus a sack of rusk to make it all stick together and our secret recipe seasoning pack to give it that special Greggs flavour. Come and have a look at it all being minced in.'

There's also a Guardian article on Greggs if the DM is not lesbian enough for the MSE Food Polis.

Ours used to be 65 and are now 85p.

I would not pay 6p for one. Horrible fat laden heart attack food with no taste or texture. Greggs has to be just about the worst bakery chain in the country IMHO !

Obviously you have never been in a Wenzls.. just opened in our town. more expensive than Greggs and everything tastes stale. was bought an apple turnover by someone and it was all air inside with a scraping of brown tasteless filling..
