It depends on how you look at it great Scot they still have the flux capacitor

America is older it was stolen from the natives

Have you seen what they are digging up in America lately it's old as well

​@@braveheart196not as old as the UK tho 😂

Get on the lash

As a vegan I miss pigs in blankets, they're so good, I think the American version should be called pigs in quilts

Mmmm, pork wrapped in pork. Looking forward to Xmas now

Yeah we have extra for boxing day and new years eve.. thinkin' bout it maybe I'm the pig here 🤔

@@sparklypeanuts tough shit it was your pointless choice.

@@JD-qq9mb LOL!

And there owner is a paedo

So they sell dogshit basically. If they come in frozen then clearly they are not prepared in store

For a Brit I've had a surprisingly small amount of Greggs in my life. Just picked some up for lunch today and I was surprised by how good value it is. I always knew that Greggs was good for a quick snack, but for the price really sets it apart. Definitely the pride of the nation

The effort necessary to make your holiday pictures/videos worth sharing shouldn't be underestimated. Doing photo/film and on-camera talk/reflect is a significant step above 'Insta-posting' IMHO, as you say it's more like delivering a travel documentary. You've made me think about how much money the BBC could have saved if they could just have sent Micheal Palin off with a smartphone, tablet/laptop and one 'minder/producer' back in the 1990s. I think a big part of 'what works' is Angela being relaxed-enough to 'go with the flow', while I can strongly relate to Ethan being the more anxious one wrt to 'making it work'. I've been there, despite being like most ordinary-Europeans in enjoying the sort of access to foreign-travel that even in the 1970s was only for the well-off making me the sort of British 'smooth-traveller' in Europe that doesn't really find say, Paris, Madrid or Amsterdam 'weird' or unsettling compared to London. My 'inner Ethan' was helped by a then-girlfriend in 1991, when the Iron Curtain had just fallen but cheap flights weren't yet a thing and we went by coach to Hungary for a stay by Lake Balaton, with a day-trip to Budapest included.. 14 days/nights... 4 of them travelling... by coach... but all for the sort of not-much-money junior NHS nurses could afford. I was told "we would be having a better time if you weren't trying so hard to make sure we have the best one we could." Great feedback. Never to be forgotten.

you don't mean the melt with sausage, beans AND cheese do you? Cos I tried that once cos I like all the individual ingredients but it was all mushed together, tasted urgh. I stick to the basic S Rolls now, they're still great.

Yum Yums are the food for the Gods!

@@baylessnow amen🙏 your speaking the honesty truth. There's nothing like a Greggs YumYum 😋 Best In The World 🌎

Lidl yum Yums are the best

@@DraconimLt how dare you 😲😲😲 sausage bean and cheese melt is the best thing Greg's sell 😳🥴

🤣

Good old reddit

Said no-one

That's because EVERY Town has at least One greggs!! ....Haven't even got a Macdonalds where I live ...but there's 2 Greggs 😂

Greggs is so mid

Thank you! Glad we did it was pretty good

@@midwestamericans3806 Could you please scroll up and look at my question? I'm genuinely interested in your answer! ♥

@@nemesis2264 You've found somewhere cheaper than Greggs ?

Someone should tell the fast food industry. Maybe Greggs is onto something

​@@paulhanson5164 pound bakery is cheaper than greggs.

Where are they in Worcester?😱

Their coffee is great value, the rest is tasty but not cheap and grossly unhealthy😱

Absolutely right

Agree, I only get the Sausage, Beens and Cheese when I go in

@@randommishaps Yeah, I've heard a lot of cheese in church too.

i live near the factory in Newcastle! Like mecca mate!

That's British bacon, not USA crispy bacon which would be completely wrong.

@@martinconnelly1473 It is streaky bacon and not proper bacon (unless you are using full sized sausages) and definitely not crispy like the yanks do it.

@@Gambit771 we tend to make our own and cut up real bacon rather than using streaky

When I was a commis chef many years ago, I made many countless thousands of these every year, always pork chipolata and streaky bacon, nowadays i'm told they just buy them in ready made.

Steak bake!!

If you ever come to the County of Cornwall in the UK NEVER, NEVER, mention Greg's. Cornish pasties are a protected food, only those made in Cornwall can be called Cornish. Greg's are not. I live in Newquay and you must buy local NOT GREGGS. OK !!!!!!

Cheese and onion is my face too!

They need them here, id go there over McDonald's anyday

I wish your comment could be pinned.

I work at Gregg's and it's just Mondays and Saturdays

@@angelreilly8312 I know a soup kitchen in Southampton gave out everyday (not Sunday), hostels on Thursday. Different Gregg's different days/distribution?

@@seanriley199 mm possibly it'd be interesting to find out!

Depends on the shop, my greggs doesn't donate any food. Some ice worked in donate every day, most only once or twice a week. If its a bad location no charity will be willing to pick the food up unfortunately.

I thought you were going to say lukewarm or scalding - there is no in between.

@@MattMcQueen1 Foreal there really is no in between piping hot or room temperature 🤣🤣

I remember the days you used to be able to go in for a loaf of bread. Used to be a proper baker's shop. I like what they've become now, though. They've tailored their business to where they were doing well.

@1daveyp. So pre 1492, when their continent "did not exist". P.S. except if you were a Viking, as I must add being from Yorkshire, which it is impossible also not to mention for the same reason.

When I discovered that they had oven boxes of the spicy veg pasties there once, I felt so much joy I half expected to be raptured up to heaven. Selling greggs in Iceland was an amazing idea.

I discovered that in lockdown. Iceland was the only place I could get a delivery from. I'm now type 2 diabetic. I do not know if these two things are related.

@@sashh2263 I don't know whether to laugh or cry for you.

@@Tom_Bee_ Eat some sausage rolls for me, I'll have a piece of cucumber so you don't have to.

@@Tom_Bee_ neither, laugh AT him

Yip, Irish settlers were eating them for years over there pre the “angry chef”

Nah France did

Let's be fair. A crisp is a thinly cut potato, either baked or fried. There's nothing to it. I'm sure a million cultures have something similar, independently created. Arguing who created the chip is like arguing who invented bread. Different places can invent the same food, there's only so many things you can do with a potato.

@@calum5975 Ok I will be perfectly fair the first mention of them in text is in the UK, thus we get to name them. Crisps they are.

​@@TransitionedToAShark go away fool

I know I've said this before but we thinking about doing something like this soon.

I love Uk pigs in blankets but my American friend makes the best US PinB little smoked franks wrapped in croissant pastry - yummy

I honestly can't think of any reason why a person would want to eat a frankfurter over a chipolata and I say that as someone who worked 'very briefly' in a factory where they make franks'. 🤢🤮🤮🥵

@@yawningkitty457 given a choice I am going UK but the ones my friend makes are very nice. Agreed you need the right mini franks, hence using the smoked ones. The closest American gets to proper sausages are what they call breakfast sausages and they are vile!

I don't know here in the Midlands we have pigs in blankets with a Sunday roast if it's pork or chicken 😂

@@pureholy what you described is a sausage roll, not pigs in blankets lol 🤷‍♂

They taste even better with chilli sauce

na mate go to a BP garage with deli and try their sausage rolls. UNREAL, best out there by a country mile.

@@julien1 While I was born in England 49 years ago, my ethnicity is Indian; I make home-made Sausage-Rolls by mixing spices and finely sliced hot chillies to the pork meat, they taste infinitely more tastier than British Sausage-Rolls

This made me laugh! It's the first thing I do after landing in to Manchester from Orlando! I grab my greggs breakfast!!

@@leona88 haha me too creature’s of habit

We do the same!

That's a great analogy, it really is like a TARDIS!

@@ClaireTee123 Thanks. 😊

That's such a great analogy!🤣

@@betterhalf6868 Cheers 😊

Lol finally someone who gets it. I work in Greggs and the amount of abuse we get sometimes because the food isn’t hot is crazy. It’s advertised as “freshly baked”, not hot. 🙄

@@MoonageDaydream. yeah lol its mental how angry people get when we say no to reheat food

Steak bakes are rank. Chucks of cheap dog meat. 🤮🤢 We call them dog slices in my home town haha.

@@chrissheppard342 you just have a bad greggs near you then as steak bakes are unreal where I am

@@chrissheppard342 lol thats what i call em too dog pasties!

@@chrissheppard342 I’ve had nice ones and grim ones,but overall they’re usually grim

I used to like the vegan steak bake. As usual, when I find something I like, it gets cancelled.

You Have to go just to try it at least.

With baked goods they have to be hot once . . But if they are reheated then VAT applies .

a lot of our recent citizens to the UK never say please and thank you either.

Doughnut.

It’s funny isn’t it? They were perfectly polite in their own minds (and culture) but it just seems so rude to us. Same language, different worlds. Not a criticism at all.

Ignorance is the word often used to describe USA folk, even the decent ones lol

@@neilgayleard3842 Well spotted. It's ironic that the OP was complaining about Americanisms yet used one themselves.

Man that made me want some Greggs!

I Love the Veg bakes too....❤

Yeah but most people don’t eat in grave yards 😂

@@lizroberts1569 i agree most don't. But it's actually quite a calming, reflective place .

Ditto

31 in the uk in my apartment and my big fan is just blowing warm air. i could do with one of them air con things americans have on there windows.

@@sasproductions701 Hang a bag of ice cubes in front of the fan - it actually works.

It’s still only 19c up in my part of Scotland. With a pleasant breeze too.

The Co-op sells sausages in pastry and call them pigs in duvets.

@@helenwood8482 I have seen those but never bought them I just stook with the bacon wrapped chipolatas

Yes, try the yum yum AND the glazed ring doughnut (kind of like a budget Crispy Creme) - they're OK and much better than the frosted doughnuts or the jam-filled ones which are all a bit like stale bread.

I forgot to add that they're much cheaper if you buy two of them packed in the cardboard box.

Yes,Greggs like Wetherspoons,is regularly mocked and derided in popular UK culture,but yet they are successfully ubiquitous,because their basic selling premise is being cheap and cheerful!👍

not seen 4 sausage rolls for a quid in years

Wow when was the last time you bought a 4 pack of SOS rolls 🤔they are £3.80 now 😳

Steak bakes are by far the best thing from Greggs.

@@lukespooky you probnlive in the south.... Greggs up north is way cheaper I was so shocked when I moved down south lol

Morrisons jaffa cake doughnuts were good

@@girlsdrinkfeck Never tried them but sound nice, not got a morrisons near us.

@@tazzatamania they're good. Choc orange sauce filling. Coated in choc and the doughnut has that sugary fried oily texture like seaside doughnuts have

bro u not tried the raspberry and apple jam donuts there are the bomb.

@@girlsdrinkfeck, someone does a chocolate and banana donut which is really nice, can't remember who though, Lidl?

Pastry is more of a blanket than bacon.

Totally agree. Haven't had anything from Greggs for about 10yrs. The sausage rolls disgust me and I used to love sausage rolls.

If you can afford to pay 3x more to support a independent bakery.

I stopped going to Greggs every day for my lunch as they stopped doing about 90% of their sarnies. I can now only get basic egg/cress, tuna, cheese.

@@Jamie_D That really depends on the Bakers. Some, as you suggest can be more expensive, but some are cheaper. Just depends. Same as Fish and Chip shops, prices vary, depending on location.

Defo 😋

And yeah, we never rave about the donuts but the pastry is where it's at, amazingly good for the price.

Sausage, bean and cheese melt is my favourite

As an English person who has Greg's now and then, I just wish there was alternatives, could use the outlets to do cheap healthy food instead of unhealthy frozen processed :(

As a kid in the 70's I lived about 300 yards from the main bakery in Gosforth. I can remember the smell of the bread baking. They certainly have came a long way since then, with franchises across the country. A great place to grab something for breakfast, lunch or just as a snack.

There would be great concentration to make sure both pieces were equal!

@Cheryl A. This reminds me of a comment I made before about a German street vendor getting angry about me asking for a friend if the beef sausage had any pork in it. He laughed when I said we were English and at home it could be anything. "Ach! Engländer!"

OH damn, Im sorry you are housebound, but I am happy you have helpful neighbours. You are very lucky.

Val! Greggs deliver now, you can still enjoy😉

You can also buy packs of frozen sausage rolls and other Greggs stuff from Iceland stores.

I love Cooplands, i prefer it to Greggs because you can get a freshly made sandwich with what you want in it! I got a maid of honour from Cooplands yesterday, my son laughed at me saying only old people eat them 😳 !!! The cheek!!! 🤣
