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 really love how tech companies and the government love to fucking consent rape people it's really cool isn't it? I love how they just decide that yea I will play a random air raid siren through your phone for some reason. What the fuck is the point in an emergency alert in this country? Yea might have a crazed gunman on the loose like we have about once in the entire millennia so far. Even if we did let's be honest we know what he will be like and we know that the government isn't going to want to bring attention to that. Same for missing kids. Even if they did want me to call the police if I saw some ape with a white kid I'd probably do that anyway. Closest thing to a natural disaster in this country is an hgv driving by shaking the ground or maybe a blocked toilet larping as a tsunami. That's about it. I just love how despite being my phone that I own other people can just fucking decide that no actually it's going to make random noises fuck you. The only alarm I want or need is my dog. The only time my phone should ever make noise without me asking is if my family sent me a text and no other time. At least you can turn that shit off in the notifications tab now.

Also easiest way to lose weight is just don't eat and mind fuck yourself into enjoying that stomach pain. Just don't eat breakfast unless you have shit to do that day.

No government will breach my quiet Sunday afternoon. I messed around with my phone until it got to the point that they couldn't send the broadcast come 15:01 and it was a success. No need to turn my phone off or the like, my phone was successfully unviolated by big brother and it will stay that way.

Fear.

Like with the alleged mass protests by, "muh far-right" that were going to occur mid-week despite the weekend ones being basically dead by Monday (almost like many of those protesting had jobs to get to unlike the counter-protestors) this is part of pushing the nation ever further into a state of fear in the hope that it will make them easier for the government to manipulate.

Of course the Green Party membership aren't going to care about his weird hypnosis (rape) fetish since the party is full of pervert wronguns, but you'd think the media would quiz him on it at least once.

If I get a fucking government alert telling me there is a far right protest nearby I'm getting the fucking bedsheets on and joining them.

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Certain people can say and do whatever they want, according to the MSM, heck we might get a Labour idiot coming out with 'it's okay to rape white working class women' if he/she thinks that a) they'll be hailed within the woke community and b) any criticism of this is seen as 'far right thuggery.'

Polanski is good for one thing - splitting the Left vote, and considering how good things are for Reform UK at present the more left factions/interest groups which pop up the better.

True, he is a degenerate, but some degenerates are more valuable to the system than others (remember 'Uncle Jimmy'...)
 
As much as beer is empty calories I want to say the following thing.

Abbott Ale is probably the best English drink by a fair margin. It's poo poo'd on because of how cheap it is, but it hits the spot wonderfully and incredibly versetile for a casual drink with a pie or even a few at the local. It's also set up in a way where too many feels a little sickly so it basically prevents you from getting ratarsed, so you can get home safely buzzed.

It’s one reason I do support the advice to be zero booze when pregnant.
Presiona para expandir...
Why the fuck would you ever drink when pregnant? If your wife drinks when pregnant you need a bit of this.


The second you find out your pregnant you have got to stop smoking, drinking and any drugs not essential to your functioning. Other wise you end up with tard babies.. like us bong news thread posters.
Otterly dijo:
Kids should leave school able to whip up a weeks worth of basic nutritious food. Nothing fancy or expensive, how to make a soup, a stew, a salad, bake bread, and a couple of meat and three veg and a carb kind of dishes. Teach them to do it within a budget, shop for it, and how to recombine bits of it (make mince and tomato/veg sauce and have it one night with pasta and then make chili from it or whatever.) they should understand nutrition.
Presiona para expandir...
I agree completely and it makes me annoyed schools don't teach basic cooking. Spag bol, 2 veg, taters and roasting or frying some meat, stew, scrambled eggs are the minimum they should be able to cook once they're teenagers (and maybe a bit younger). Once you have those basic skills down everything else is just adjusting the timing a little.

Breakfast - Mint overnight oats 300 calories

The Scottish are going to have you mate. Overnight oats are like saying you support England in the football. They'll fucking do you one.

Do we need a bong healthy eating thread making? I'm surprised how many of you were fucking whales at one point. Some of you were twice the weight I am now and I'm getting annoyed with the middle age beer belly. It would be interesting to know what menu items are the lowest calories from each UK fast food place. Maybe divided into normal and veggie options? I assume the veggie options are lower calories?

Anyone 300lbs+ can't be trusted to just eyeball or listen to their gut. If they could they wouldn't be in the mess they are.
Those are the people who need to count calories.
 
Some lighter news to finish off the week (I missed most of the Labour implosion discussion on KF due to tor issues *sigh*).

We have a lunar eclipse coming up. If you're below the line on the map (or even if you're not), maybe grab some binoculars and have a gander? It's starting now and will hit maximum at 19:11 (moonrise might be later for you, but it should still be quite a sight EDIT: It looks like moonrise is 19:24 on average, so no rush. It will be mostly full as it rises). (BBC Article) (Archive)

The Londonistan tube workers (not just drivers) are going to be on strike this coming week (BBC Article) (Archive). Expect considerable seethe as the unions do what they do best.

I've never been fat. So this may be me sounding insane, but how do you reach 300lbs+ without being actually mentally ill?
Presiona para expandir...
By being taken advantage of.

'I will love you if you gain weight'
'It would please me...'

Think of it like how SJW's get recruited - these people are lonely, miserable and talentless people begging to be loved in a world where they feel ostracised.

Somebody says 'I will love you, but you must do this..' they will do it to feel loved, validated (like a car) and wanted - they finally have a place in the world, and are then used and abused.

Anyway... some funny news (for a change):


Neighbour row erupts as man takes revenge on resident who held 'daily parties' - 'Years of chaos!'
