Greggs news

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

They are all individually named with an assigned catchphrase.

This one is called Grendy.

His catchphrase is: D'YER WANNA FUKKKIN GOOOOOOO

How come Greggs have stayed open? Are they counting themselves as takeaways?

[thelittlemango]

Looks like Predator without the mask.

I don't know. It struck me as a dumb move to close during the last lockdown, when they didn't have to. Thomas the Baker stayed open, as did Cooplands if I recall.

Some interesting pastry-based shop trivia there.

Greggs have been magnificent since the start of this crisis.

The one I walk past on my way to work was open in the mornings when I went back to work in August, but when I pass on the way home at about 4.30 it's already closed. Might be to stop them getting overrun with schoolkids though as it's on a major route home for a few secondary schools.

[Shit Good Nose]

Our local bakery was open all the way through the last lockdown (I think they were allowed to as a big chunk of their product is bread, so they were considered as an essential shop), but during it their only offerings besides the usual bread and rolls were "basic" biscuits and cakes - shortbread, doughnuts etc, none of your fancy macarons or owt.  They also closed at 2pm every day (which is typically around the time they've always sold out of all the bread and rolls baked that morning).  Looks like they'll be open full hours this time (at least they are today so far...).

Nothing worse than a basic biscuit.

[Sebastian Cobb]

That looks like it was filled with the contents out the trap of a blocked kitchen sink.

During a radio interview with an "expert" on "English cuisine" it transpired all he'd actually sampled was a Sunday roast and a Greggs sausage roll. 

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

The way the contents are lurking underneath that grease carapace is almost threatening, almost sinister.

Flavour - plain.

Don't Americans LOVE Greggs sausage rolls?

I saw an interview with Jake Gylenhaal once, think it might have been on Graham Norton, where he professed a great love for Greggs. He didn't specify any particular products though. He looks like a Cheese & Onion Bake man.

Wonderful to live in the modern world where even suspicious-looking pasties can feel comfortable about their sexuality

Meh, I'm a fan myself - I've admitted it on here loads of times.  I am not ashamed.  I too favour the cheese and onion bake.  I could easily take down three or four of those in a sitting.

[shiftwork2]

I pass a drive-thru Greggs on my way home.  It is now my civic duty to drive through that absolute bastard.

One of the fleeting, absurd moments between my birth and my death.

I was saddened today to learn that this magnificent, legendary Greggs, housed in an old 1930s service station in Broxburn, West Lothian, has been demolished and replaced with some sort of modern monstrosity.

Have I shared my theory on the sausage rolls and their weird taste and high popularity on here before? Well, did you know that they use a strictly-proportioned mix of ham, chicken and pork to fill them? Anyway, many years ago I saw a TV programme where some guy was trying to find out what human flesh tasted like, and since cannibalism is illegal, he took a tiny biopsy of his own legmeat and had it spectromorphically analysed and was able to reverse-engineer a taste profile to discover what meat, or meats, it most resembled. And guess what? Yup. Makes you think eh?

That photo is terrifying

do the words 'out now' refer to it being freed from the pipe?

"what about all that gunge that was blocking the sink?"

"Oh, it's out now. I put it in a fucking pie!"

[dissolute ocelot]

That photo is terrifying

The perspective is really weird, it looks like it's on a hill. I rather like it, though I'm not sure why they need 3 storeys.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

They don't, it's been demolished.

[canadagoose]

I used to pass that Greggs every time I went to Broxburn. Never went in, though. Maybe I should have.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I like that one of the tags is "Je Ne Greggette Rien".

Every time I drove south from Aberdeen I'd tell myself this time I'd try one of those massive bacon sandwiches from The Horn in Perth and every time I'd forget then swear as I passed it, not being arsed to turn around and go back.

[Dex Sawash]

everything i have ever actually stopped at after passing many times has turned out to be shit
