    They are brilliant! We love them here... calorie laden though!
    We hope they'll bring out the greggs pizza's

    As a typical woman's calorie intake is supposed to be 2000 and a Greggs Sausage Roll is 360 in theory you could eat 5.5 of them a day (but nothing else) and stay the same. I suspect the theory wouldn't work though.

    And thats a lot of pigs snouts, ears, lips, tongues trotters and all the other stuff they mince up... num! num! num! (but yes I still eat them...ocasionally)

    Except that.... The amount of salt, saturated fats etc... will prob we wayyyy higher than the recommended daily intake. So U will still grow I'm a afraid...

    Maybe, but he doesn't count as a proper Chef, can't even make his own stock!
