When was the last time you bought a pasty at Greggs

[Diver]

That's how long it takes now. Give it a few months and you'll driving and sweating like a hippo in a shower walking from your car to the shop door.

Been there, seen it Done it and bought the XXXXL T-Shirt

Coming off now and soon be back to normal

Greggs are a bit cheap and nasty. Ginsters are okay in their chicken and mushroom slice form. Nothing like a good pie (no jokes please). My favourite off-the-shelf one while I'm away is from these chaps:

Ginsters are just muck, at least Greggs are fresh. Their pasties are NOT pasties but I like the sausage rolls.

Greggs gives me indigestion.

That's just because you're middle aged. HTH.

Had the occasional steak bake which was hit or miss with quality (if you can use that word associated with Greggs).

I really miss the small local bakeries that you could find in most towns in days gone by, sausage rolls, scotch pies, freshly baked bread and rolls that you could get hot from the oven at the back door very early in the morning.

We have Aulds in Scotland which is Greggs without the quality and more expensive. Seems they're struggling and won't be missed if they go down.

Nothing like making your own bread and pastry (and fillings).

Carr's Pasties of Bolton are the Rolls Royce of Pasties. Many prefer Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe pasties from the shop/bakery on Churchgate but for me they are second best. Sort of the Bentley of Pasties.

Greggs - spit, cold, all pastry and no meat (or veg) - spit. Ford Focus of pasties.

Greenhalgh's - I spit on your plain pasties and your flakey ones - 1976 Vauxhall Chevette of pasties

Sayers (formerly Hampsons) - I spit on your small pasties, pathetic small, pathetic. Can't think of any more cars, Austin Maxi prolly...

Northerners making good pasties? I've heard it all now.

Pies and bitter up North, pasties and zider down South (West), volovants and lager shandy for the SE.

Many years ago when I did not have a car and had to wait for bus - pretty good value for money it was (Greggs).

Greggs Steak Bake, universally accepted round here as morning after food.

If Greggs are the Ford focus of Steak Bakes that makes Tesco the Reliant Robin (quirky & not very substantial) and Sainsburys the OX cart (full of gristle and manure).

Wouldn't mind but they were more expensive than Greggs.


Only Ginster pastie worth eating is the peppered steak (cold with milkshake and post beer hangover).

Morrisons do a nice pastie (sometimes).
