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.

A faggot finds it attractive. A smooth belly is not a belly button fetish. And yes, finding a woman's figure attractive is normal. Finding an arm pit attractive is not. They're specifically smelly and sweaty. An unhygienic part of the body.


Why would you shag your mattress.

Don't cum. Don't cum.. then little moe whacks Trevor with the iron and you're shooting rope to the drum beat. At least the wife was nice enough to let you shag her while she watched the soaps instead of got into petty fights with you while they're on. Got to look on the bright side.

Exactly - the lad who did it was an edgy loser.

It's not the silliest thing he did either, he tried to copy some Dirty Sanchez stunts and once almost went blind in one eye recreating the 'black eye from a tennis ball' one:


Please do not do this ever - it's very, very stupid and Pritchard is an expert at this.

All jokes aside, there's been many horrifying videos of migrants, homeless and travellers making a tasty meal of the local wildlife.

Swansea fans will be annoyed then.

In all seriousness, I can see it happening and the authorities being cowards.

Bit of a change of topic, but I made my own stuffing at the weekend. HOW has Paxo been getting away with this scam for so long? You literally grate one of the heels off the loaf, and an apple.

When I think of all the thousands of pounds I've wasted over the years...
 
I supposed it's inevitable that a greggs thread would turn into such a sausage fest.

The fact that it literally happened seems to pass these people by. The press runs the stories, then runs the "debunk" - nobody has been caught! - a few days later as part of a rage-bait cycle, but the fact that it actually happens hasn't changed.

Curry chef escapes jail for killing a swan: Sleeping bird was strangled in drunken attack - paki immigrant found with the carcass. He had intended to cook it.

Loads more if you look for a few minutes.

Have you ever seen a real vagina before? You do know that that area is also gross and smelly and even worse than your armpits in terms of hygeine because you don't fucking piss out your armpits and you don't shit out of your biceps. Hopefully. Underboobs are even worse than armpits but you would never even try to say that boobs aren't sexy. Also you did watch the video of her get out of the fucking sea about two seconds before that screencap right? Idk last I checked going for a swim made you very much not gross and smelly from that oh so complicated concept of 'a bath'?

You very clearly do not remember the early 2000s. Britney spears getting a bellybutton peircing was headline news for months. There were probably more photos of specifically britney's bellybutton than fucking bin laden. The entire fashion of that time was about showing off specifically that midriff area and crucially the bellybutton. If you want to tell yourself that people just liked the figure then you can. Dan schneider just found feet jokes funny and nikelodeon executives just thought slime was a little hehehaha and absolutely nothing more. Bellybuttons were the feet of the 2000s.

Fuck it all the browns can stay as long as their entire diet consists of nothing but feral pigeons and grey squirrels. They can have a couple asian hornets as a garnish too. Maybe if they are eating swans we can formerly charge them as treasoners and have them hung outside buckingham palace. Though I think I'd rather live surrounded by browns than swans. They both smell as bad, both as noisy, both about the same other than it's slightly more frowned upon to kick an indian than a swan.
 
I have it on good authority that swan pretty much just tastes like goose, and no-one cares if you kill geese because they are vicious, hate-filled cunts.

Save a swan, eat a goose. It's what the queen would have wanted.

Regarding armpits, pretty much any body part of the right woman in the right circumstances can be erotic; the neck, the wrist, the ankle, yes even feet and armpits. Not the rusty sheriff's badge though, I don't play that way.

Well, if Bin Laden had dressed up like a school girl and sung 'Baby One More Time', then he would have had better luck wouldn't he?

Put some effort in...

r/unpopularopinion moment but geese are cooler than swans. If I wanted some necky cunt that's wall paint white I'd go back to Ireland. Swans would be cool if they were actually friendly but they're just kkk geese. Geese are much cooler, sure they're common and basic but canada geese are really cute. They're the same thing but one looks cooler. I know we're all hip hip hooray racism chaps but swans are honourary nigger birds no matter how white they are. Plain white is just boring and if I wanted a plain white bird then we have doves and their body shape is much cuter. Or we have one of the cutest birds in the entire world: the barn owl, if you want something cute and mostly white. Every time I go to feed the ducks and see there's a shit load of swans there I roll my eyes and try to throw the food towards the ducks instead.

No he wouldn't be able to sing 'hit me baby one more time' until the early 2010s.
