To share with you all, a new, grubby food discoverey

[TheThreeCheesesOfTheApocalypse]

I recently discovered spar sells 'burger pasties' on the hot food counter.

These delightful gobfuls of heaven are basically a burger, topped with cheese, tomato sauce and gerkins then lovingly encased in greggs sausage roll type pastry.

Heaven is the only way to describe these things. Heaven in a crumb flying, greasy frenzy.

Alas, we don't have a spar nearby, so I fully intend on re creating a homemade version.

(vomit face)

I remember buying those with my dinner money at school 15 years ago! They were amazing!

That sounds vile.

I was with you until I got to gherkins.

Or should that be "I was with you until you got to gherkins"? Either way - I bloody hate gherkins :)

So let me get this clear - it's a patty of meat (of indeterminate origin and pedigree) stuffed into a shell of fat and flour and embellished with machine made cheese flavoured substitute and skanking vinegary pickles? Am I right?

I'll just have a coffee, thanks..........

I'll settle for a coffee too, glad you enjoyed it though OP

Yes, you are right.

And the best, damned discovery since wotsit and nutella butties

Wotsits and nutella butties?!?!?!?!

What?
Nope.

OP you are a deeply unwell woman. There is help out there, I promise

That sounds like perfect hangover food.

My mum used to make these when I was wee - they were wrong but sooo good! We still take the piss out of her for that culinary abomination :)

I feel I need this in my life!

Disclaimer: I'm pregnant and currently experiencing all manner of unhealthy food cravings. In fact, if you could add some potato in there somewhere it's probably all I would eat. Sadly, no Greggs where I live

Just seen its the spar. We have one of those about 2 minutes walk away. Dons coat, gets purse

The only way these could be any better than they sound is if they're made with fake cheese.

Cooplands do something similar, didn't know greggs did them though.

We got one on holiday in Whitby but Cooplands seems to be a North Yorkshire thing, not West Yorkshire

The only way they could be better is if they were presented on a silver platter by Henry Cavill.

I always wonder who eats thise things

Just thinking about if gives me heartburn!

Thank you for sharing this and thank God Spar has a nearest store finder on their website. Mine is 1.3 miles and is on a bus route. Do all Spars sell these? Should I phone to check?

Only certain Spars sell pastry encased, artery clogging food. Best phone ahead to avoid bitter disappointment.

Sounds like those SPAM battered fritters you can still find in some chipshops. Not that I go looking for them, of course...
