https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

A heated row has broken out over a move by Britain's largest bakery chain to launch a vegan sausage roll.

The pastry, which is filled with a meat substitute and encased in 96 pastry layers, is available in 950 Greggs stores across the country.

It was promised after 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the snack to be launched to accommodate plant-based diet eaters.


But the vegan sausage roll's launch has been greeted by a mixed reaction: Some consumers welcomed it, while others voiced their objections.

Cook and food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe declared she was "frantically googling to see what time my nearest opens tomorrow morning because I will be outside".

While TV writer Brydie Lee-Kennedy called herself "very pro the Greggs vegan sausage roll because anything that wrenches veganism back from the 'clean eating' wellness folk is a good thing".

One Twitter user wrote that finding vegan sausage rolls missing from a store in Corby had "ruined my morning".

Another said: "My son is allergic to dairy products which means I can't really go to Greggs when he's with me. Now I can. Thank you vegans."

TV presenter Piers Morgan led the charge of those outraged by the new roll.

"Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Morgan later complained at receiving "howling abuse from vegans", adding: "I get it, you're all hangry. I would be too if I only ate plants and gruel."

Another Twitter user said: "I really struggle to believe that 20,000 vegans are that desperate to eat in a Greggs."

"You don't paint a mustach (sic) on the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with the perfect sausage roll," one quipped.

Journalist Nooruddean Choudry suggested Greggs introduce a halal steak bake to "crank the fume levels right up to 11".

The bakery chain told concerned customers that "change is good" and that there would "always be a classic sausage roll".

It comes on the same day McDonald's launched its first vegetarian "Happy Meal", designed for children.

The new dish comes with a "veggie wrap", instead of the usual chicken or beef option.

It should be noted that Piers Morgan and Greggs share the same PR firm, so I'm thinking this is some serious faux outrage and South Park KKK gambiting here.

Honestly super noodles were goated, no idea if they're still good but might go and get a packet for hangover scran tomorrow.

Also I'm sick of retards not understanding the fucking instructions. You don't put the packet in with the boiling noodles, you drain the noodles and put them in a bowl and THEN pour the sachet in before mixing it. That way you actually taste the flavour instead of watery gloop.

My favourite is the shin ramen and the buldak ones from what I've tried. I'm already lactose intolerant so shitting myself for the sake of nice food is already standard.

main issue is with English women is deciding when to ask if they've been raped by a paki. has to be after the initial flirting stage but before you whap it in her arse dry.

koka noodles are shite. the powder stinks if you get it on you hands/clothes

Just flat out ask if you're going to take it seriously. I'll be called autistic as fuck but I asked my partner if she'd ever been involved with a non-white. Just flat out said it and got my answer. If it's something that matters to you just ask. If they care about you they won't be upset, they will know why it matters to you. Honesty matters and a partner who really cares is not going to be upset with you for asking something you need to know to have a relationship.

Dating the Scottish would be impossible. They don't even know what a swede is. They fuck it up and you end up with a shit carrot with your sausage and mash. It's untenable! And they call you Pal. Not Mate. Not Sir. But Pal. WTF is up with that? I can understand the bastards but who the fuck calls someone Pal?

As a burger, replace "British" with "white" here and I can give you advice: continue to be extremely cautious of any online posters who can't stop ranting about british/white women.

Radical feminists are obnoxious yes, but muzzie and other turd worlders have 100% capitalized on that to drive a wedge between white men and women. Possibly intentionally though more likely just as a result of turd worlder's natural rapist seethe.

Islam is not right about women. It is not right about anything.

It's not just turdies either. This dickhole is the biggest offender.

>Yeah guys white women are just HORRIBLE! I hate these people who pretend to be oppressed and complain all the time to get shit. Fuck white women. Fellas you're so justified in your hatred of white women.
>But black people, muslims, hispanics, turks, asians, and all flavors of of brown have never ever ever ever done anything wrong and they're perfect. You oppressed them and that's unforgivable.
>I'm such a based anti woke comedian guyyyz.

Pancake boobies with syrup.

Edit, if you’re going foreign for a missus do it after you’ve got the raising sprogs bit out the way. The whole mixed culture, no identity with either isn’t fair on them or their sprogs. Be a step parent to one race or yours but mixing causes problems not just in identity but finding matches if they ever need a donor (not kebab). It’s like finding a matching panel for a beige 1.1l 1983 polo breadvan, it’s just not gonna happen and if you see one in the south east let me know.

Yes. It explains having a family and friends. And needing to buy gifts for young people in your circle. It's very difficult for brown people to understand the concept of a birthday party.

@SirCliveSinclairdabbing What are the differences in organs between Europoors and the superior British DNA pools? Can you find matches for UK mutts? Can someone who's half welsh, half scottish take an English kidney?

Tattoos, piercings or what? If anything I appreciate their need to outwardly signal that I should stay the fuck away from them.
