UK: Complete anarchy as Greggs unveil new Vegan Sausage Roll™
61 replies, posted
two posts beneath it is the exact same effort.
just says to me that if the image is intended as a joke then it's automatically bad.
I'm not a mod so it's not like my opinion is automatically the correct answer but as I understand it, SH and Polidicks expect you to actually make a cohesive post with some kind of point. Posting an image with no other context has no point. Also how is Donald Trump on point in this thread? This has nothing to do with politics, unless Piers got retweeted by the Coke Can or something.
At any rate I'm not in charge of deciding if a post is low-effort enough to get the hammer so I don't know what to tell you
piers morgan posted how selling a vegan product is trying to be "politically correct".
the point of the post is to insult piers morgan.
and it was on point, it's completely in context.
Corporations are evil but I wholeheartedly support them teaming up to dump on Piers Morgan
Have to agree, it is not low effort because everything about the image relates to the topic at hand. It is not an unrelated meme, it is 100% to do with the topic.
Furthermore, the image was reposted by the artist to their Facebook page in direct relation to the news. But this is getting a bit off-topic now so I'll stop talking about it.
I'm glad that Piers Morgan and the anti-vegan crowd are getting rightly pushed back. I'll be going to my local Greggs tomorrow to see if I can nab one, but from what I've seen & heard they sell out quite quickly, which can only be a good thing.
Is this Greggs placed well liked? Their graphic design makes it look like I could buy printer toner there.
You know how you guys have national treasures like the Statue of Liberty?
We have Greggs.

Gluten free is nice for actual allergys but I think the big reason for hate is that the fad is kind of psuedosciency and touts gluten free as a cure all for things like autism. At least Vegan and vegeterians are based on pretty valid ethical concerns with underlying reasoning they can back up.
Piers Morgan thrives on all the attention he can get, honestly I wish people stopped giving him what he wants. It's just giving him more excuses to speak his mind and stay relevant.
That's my reasoning for hating on the hype of gluten-free shit. At least it's good for the 1% of the population with coeliacs though. Gluten-friendly is worse because that helps nobody, complete bullshit marketing.
Occasionally I consider commuting by ferry to mainland england, over one of the most expensive bodies of water in the world, just to pop into a Greggs and buy a sausage roll.
You do gotta ask what constitutes a sausage tho...
By definition a sausage roll can only be a sausage roll if it includes something that can be defined as a sausage.
an item of food in the form of a cylindrical length of minced pork or other meat encased in a skin, typically sold raw to be grilled or fried before eating.
Applying the "vegan" affix to a sausage just means it's as close an imitation of a traditional sausage as possible without the use of actual meat. Artificial meat products tend to be treated with the same spices and seasoning as real meat, so I suppose the question ultimately becomes; can you make sausages out of something other than meat?
Imo the clear answer is- sure why not?. If it looks like a sausage, tastes like a sausage, and feels like a sausage- then it's earned it's right to be called a sausage.

Sure, if you really want to open that Pandora's Box.
To go off on yet another tangent I do think that fake meat, especially fake burgers, are terrible. Not in a "Hurr durr I h8 vegans" way but in a "this actually tastes like cardboard" way.
For example, why have some sloppy lab-grown protien in the shape of meat when you could have a burger with a big'ol portabellow mushroom, a slice of haloumi cheese(if just a regular veggie), crispy fried onions and maybe some fallafel...
Hell I'm a carnivore and that shit sounds dope.
Some of it tastes pretty good, but a lot of it is processed so it's not great to eat all the time. This for example should only be eating it as much as a normal sausage roll, which isn't on a regular basis.
If not, then it's a sandwich.
There's no reason lab-grown protein couldn't go between two burger bun halves with a portabello muchroom slice, some nice cheese, and whatever the fuck else you want to put on, the only difference is that the meat patty didn't come directly from something with legs. This is a dumb statement to make unless all you wanted to say was "I eat my meat with proper condiments and I assume lab-grown meat gets served alone on a pieplate".
Yes, meat substitutes aren't really all the way there yet, but what a shoddy way to present your argument because you're not saying anything about the meat/"meat" at all, only what it comes with.
Had a Vegan Sausage Roll today and my innards rejected the A N A T H E M A heretical non-meat, causing me to vomit up black caustic bile which sizzled away my mother's face. Why have you done this Greggs. Why did you tamper with the natural order.

It was actually really nice, and if they were the same price as a regular one I'd chose the Vegan option every time
If they were replacing normal sausage rolls I could understand outrage, but it's just an additional thing on the menu so what's the problem.
Because vegans want to steal your meat because of their agenda, obviously!

Confirmed, went in and got a regular and a vegan sausage roll for direct comparison. The pastry on the vegan roll was lighter in colour and didn't rise as much, otherwise they tasted the fucking same. I don't know what food wizardry they've pulled out but it was a bloody good sausage roll. Give me price parity and I'd just get the vegan one.
