UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

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.

I know where this is going and no I do not eat my own shit thank you very much.

I've had rabbits before and looking back I'm just not entirely sure I like them as a pet. I liked watching them eat but I just don't know. They're in the awkward spot of being both cute and fluffy enough to want to touch them but also don't really enjoy it. They're just not really petty enough. It's like having an exotic pet that you're just meant to watch and look after but one that you want to do more with. I enjoyed having them but there's a reason why I started off by saying 'had' not 'have'. Also the main diet of a rabbit should be hay and grass not vegetables anyway. I am closer to a hippo instead. A big bog dwelling fat bald cunt.

I dislike having any pet that isn't a dog. I feel bad for birds because they can't fly, I don't like cats and other animals are pointless. Dogs are our prehistoric bros, and all the pet we need.

Do they? I thought that it wouldn't be that great compared to beef, chicken and/or pork.

I mean, I only ever have horsemeat when I visit extended family in paddy land, and it's normally in a stew or a pie...and I'm normally hammered lol. So maybe it sucks? I dunno man.

 

[LongDayAgain]

I mean they're popular among lefties but that's about it. I think the average Joe recognise them as the champagne socialists they are.
Their name is based off of kneecapping, which was an IRA punishment for supposed rats and criminals in IRA-controlled territories during the Troubles in the North. It's glorifying blowing someone's knee apart with a shotgun or pistol.

The IRA are rightfully considered scumbag terrorists by most Irish people.

To add to this, don't let any IRA sympathisers gaslight you into thinking they were only targeting loyalists. They killed A LOT of innocent people with their car bombs, and often placed bombs in populated areas like stores and shopping centres and hotels (Brighton Hotel being the most infamous one). They didn't care about killing innocent people, despite their argument of "Well, we gave people 30 minutes notice!".

I don't know if I'm just the 1% that love both. But I like cats and dogs. I don't like an animal that's too dependent on me or super energetic but I also don't want something that will never interact with me. Our cats were cool, they were that middle ground, they'd be super loving and would sit on your lap and want to be brushed and so on and be loving sometimes, but the rest of the time they just keep to themselves and their world doesn't revolve around you. Our dog's the same, she will be off doing her own shit but then also sometimes she will come up and not sit on your lap because I enjoy having blood circulation but she comes and flops on your shoulder and is a big softie. Both the cats and dog I've had they all will give you love and attention if you go ask for it but they don't depend on you 24/7. I did briefly consider a samoyed because they're meant to be less work than a fucking great pyrenees but I couldn't deal with something that wants that much attention all the time. The main reason why I got a dog instead of a cat is because I got kinda worried about omam lennying a cat honestly. It's just hard to do that hair ruffling shit your grandparents would do to you as a kid to a cat when it's head is half the size of your palm and your pinkie bone is thicker than it's spine. And big cats are cool, I would love some maine coon type cat but that's a lot of grooming and grooming a cat is much much harder than a dog.

Horse meat is good when it's horse meat and prepared as horse meat. Not when it's in your tesco value burgers. It's like any other meat, you wouldn't fry a pork shoulder in butter like you would a steak. You just have to know what you're doing and cook it properly. But yea it's nice.

Cooking carrots ruins them. In any way.

If you really want something fucked try microwaving them. I have accidentally done this one too many times and the regret is just as strong each time.

Might want to read the room before you suck Sikh cock. You know the room full of blood when an innocent man got stabbed by a sikh who was then supported by the police in having him bleed out because he might have said a naughty word.

They all have to go. Every single one.

TPD, that means all Ps.

 

[teriyakiburns]

I can't even eat. It's too hot! Too fucking hot! I'm eating oranges from the fridge instead of cooking dinner. It's inhuman!

It's not that hot. I've been this hot when I was a kid. Just sit in the shade and drink some barley water. Eat a carrot. Put your feet in a bowl of water. Find a brown boy to fan you with an ostrich feather. fucking hell man, are you a colonist or what?

[Overly Serious]

Nah it's mostly the texture. I always find any cooked mushroom to be either slimy or gristly leather. Same with carrots, either mush or coal. Admittedly that's most things now I say that. I'm trying to think about things that I would prefer to eat cooked instead of raw and the only things I can think of are potatoes. I guess tomatoes too if you want to argue about what they count as. Even rhubarb. I enjoy a nice stick of rhubarb just peel it and eat it straight. I think I am just a caveman basically. Parsnips and turnips and swedes yea but I don't really like them in any way anyway.

Some things when they're cooked down are fine. If it's no longer a carrot that has been _____ but instead a _____ with carrot then that's fine. Like shepherd's pie, that's not cooked carrots, that's something with carrots cooked in there. Idk if I am eating a carrot just as a carrot then I'm having it raw.

Ah, you're a texture bro. You don't like things where the texture has been lost. I bet the thought of eating mushed banana revolts you, no? Properly cooked mushrooms shouldn't be slimy or "soggy". One point is that they absorb flavours well when you cook them, and that really brings out their own taste as well.

I dislike having any pet that isn't a dog. I feel bad for birds because they can't fly, I don't like cats and other animals are pointless. Dogs are our prehistoric bros, and all the pet we need.

Well, we know you're not from Florida, then...

What the retards who romanticise The Troubles also don’t understand is that the Republics and Loyalists killed more people in their own communities than on the other side.

The Kneecap fuckwits have could more easily ended up with a IRA bullet in the back of their heads for stepping out of line than a UVF car bomb outside of one of their concerts.

The whole thing is rank stupidity and I don’t understand why the BBC has been astroturfing it so hard.

 

[Goose the Redeemer]

Best vegetable on a roast dinner plate?

The only correct answer to this is "whatever you've grown yourself". Everyone should grow as much of their own food as possible, industrial agriculture selects (primarily) for ease of harvest, not taste or quality.

I'll throw leeks into the "unorthodox veg" pot. Half inch slices fried in the fat from the meat.

[The IRA] didn't care about killing innocent people

No-one who uses bombs does. Bombs are indisciminate and there is still the ocassional child finding a landmine and other unexploded ordnance from the war.

"Well, we gave people 30 minutes notice!"

Except when the payphone was out of order...

A bit late for the Sikh vs Mulsim argument, but... There is a difference. When they say that murdering innocent people is un-Sihk-like, they are being honest. He did not kill him because he was Sikh, but because he is a murderer. Muslims worship a violent, war-mongering, kiddie-fucker that they seek to emulate in every way, and their reward for doing so when they get to heaven is 70 children to fuck. They are Islam first (and only), they see nothing wrong with lying (especially if it means that they get to murder infidels who "insult" their holy prohpet), they cannot be trusted, and they have no place in a civilised society.

A Sikh can be tolerated (if necessary); Islam must be eradicated.

Reform wouldn't even have him as an MP. They would take the Indonesian boyfriend and make him party chairman of equalities.

Face the wall.

We're a nation of dog lovers. The rise of cat owners is showing a lack of proper British values.

I'm not even joking. Cats are lazy pets for wine aunts and people with no purpose in life. A mouser was not a pet and getting parasites that make you suicidal from their shit is part of the NWO trying to get you to give into Muslims.

In a more helpful note. B&M, Aldi and other shops sell those stupid bimbo thermal cups for quite cheap. Go get yourself one and fill it with cold water. They will keep it cool for an entire day and help keep your temperature down.
