I like sausage rolls. Lovely, flaky, greasy sausage rolls. I eat them, I am going to keep on eating them and I'm going to give them to my DC. Even Greggs ones.

as with all things, MHM...

Oo sausage rolls. Have been known to buy an occasional pasty too. Pork scratchings win though. And huge confession - I blame pregnancy cravings - yesterday I bought a tube of Primula 'cheese'. The prawn flavour. And it's already gone. My bad...

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 08/10/2011 14:25

[innocent] I'm talking about all things pastry from Greggs, MHM. I don't know what you're on about, I'm sure.

ooh, hells - pork scratchings. I used to love those. (have been on a diet for a million years!) The butchers on the high street used to do MASSIVE bags of proper fatty crunchy scratchings for a quid.

That primula stuff is bloody fab on chocolate biscuits. (not the prawn flavour though!)

And it becomes clear why I have been on a diet for a million years... Grin

Sausage rolls are nice but you can't beat a hot macaroni pie with a pink jammie for afters.

FlamingFannyDrawers · 08/10/2011 14:47

Oh i love Greggs sausage rolls! Although i'm quite partial to a chicken slice from the heated section in Tesco. Most some days i have one for breakfast.

Oh don't mention fecking pork scratchings!

Manshape has introduced the kids to them. He bribes them to do things with promises of them. The hairier the better, apparently.

GarrottingItLaldy · 08/10/2011 18:34

No Greggs here. And now I really want a sausage roll despite there being a lasagne in the oven.

contemplating accidentally giving the lasagne to the dogs and phoning DP to tell him to pick up some sausgae rolls on his way home

On the subject of sausage rolls, is the sausage roll bap a delicacy peculiar to these shores? Take a white roll (either crusty or soft is acceptable), spread liberally with butter and/or condiment of choice. Place sausage roll within roll and scoff.

Thinking about it, there may be some correlation between the existence of the sausage roll bap and the increased incidence of heart disease here too.

Heidikat - I love macaroni pies Grin

AmazingBouncingFerret · 08/10/2011 19:27

Greggs have branched out... you can now buy packs of their sausage rolls ready to bake in the comfort of your own home, available in...... ICELAND! Grin

theoldtrout01876 · 08/10/2011 19:35

We cant get any sausage rolls here at all,totally unknown entity :(

I have to make the buggers from scratch so only do them once or twice a year and the kids eat em faster than I can make em. Mine arent as good as those greasy greggs type ones though,I have not yet perfected that chewy bit of pastry under the flakey bit or replicated the delicate pink shade of the goo they put inside. My teeth are watering now

Heidikat I too love macaroni pie, pastry cheese and pasta all in one place- how can you beat that? But I have only seen it in Scotland

I would have had at least one each day whilst on holiday and emptied the suitcase out to bring a hoard back had DH not borne witness to my gluttony. He considered them the devil's own work.

I have to make my own now, in secret

BodyUnknown · 08/10/2011 21:27

Macaroni pie? Pastry and pasta together?

Yuck!

SecretNutellaFix · 08/10/2011 21:34

There are plenty of Greggs stores in Wales.

I drop in everyday for my lunch at work frequently. Their meal deals are ok (sandwich, drink and crisps for £2.99) In winter I will probably have a cornish pasty on colder days, but I love their sausage rolls fresh from the oven and tongue-scalding.

Their toffee apple slices are my favourite indulgence- they only do them in October and November.

MissPenteuth · 08/10/2011 21:38

Damn you all, I need a steak bake now.

MrHeadlessMan · 08/10/2011 21:42

Talking of Scotland, that's the place I discovered the battered sausage. Mmmmmm, that was tasty - haven't seen any south of the border though?

Yabu

Sausage and bean bake is far superior to the yummy naughtiness greggs sausage rolls

LittleMissFlustered · 08/10/2011 21:53

I was sorely tempted to go into Greggs today, they have a new hallowe'en pasty: fajita chicken and pepperoni!

LittleMissFlustered · 08/10/2011 21:54

MHM Battered sausages are the norm in my corner of YorkshireGrin

carabos · 08/10/2011 22:43

Haven't eaten a sausage roll since about 1975. Am clearly missing out. There's a teen magnet Greggs in town though. Will investigate.

ILoveMyDragon · 08/10/2011 23:25

Our local Greggs had a fire recently and has been closed for months :( but I do believe it is open again as yesterday there was atleast a 3 mile queue outside it!!
Their sausage rolls are pretty awesom and I'm sorry it HAS be to hot! But at christmas they step it up even further and do a sausage and stuffing roll and that my friends is the absolute ultimate in cholesterol popping goodness!!

And their chicken bakes are good too!

GuillotinedMaryLacey · 09/10/2011 08:34

The independent baker across the road from work does lasagne pies. Absolute heaven in a pastry case.
