[Food] Gregg's Vegan Sausage Roll

Excellent response. https://www.thedrum.com/news/2014/0...laims-greggs-has-sold-shit-scum-over-70-years
Like when the article looks at other glitches such as the image google maps found for the village of Skellow
and PCWorld Google review used in Gregg's response "Like hell but with worse customer service".
Seems to be a PR win on the face of it. My daughter had never even been in a Gregg's until yesterday. She popped in just to check out the vegan sausage roll only to find it had sold out. If it's flying off the shelves and getting new people in the shop it's a win.
Plus if it tastes meaty, nothing dies to make it and it's better for the environment, why wouldn't you?

Why do vegetarians/vegans want to replicate meat, make it look like meat, taste like meat...why ? Be vegetarian eat it as it is.
After all meatetarians don't try and make their steak look like a carrot do they ?

It really isn't a difficult concept to grasp. A large number of Vegetarians were meat eaters for a long time and made a conscious decision so stop eating meat. But not because they don't like the taste of meat. You might as well ask why people who give up alcohol drink alcohol free beer/wine. Or diabetics eat sugar free products. Standard social media reply - I don't agree with something so no-one else should do it.Why do vegetarians/vegans want to replicate meat, make it look like meat, taste like meat...why ? Be vegetarian eat it as it is.

Because a lot of vegetarians and vegans are such for ethical reasons not because they don’t like the taste of meat. It’s a very simple concept really... I myself avoid meat tasting products but fully understand why others like them.

It’s not difficult to grasp but they really do seem to struggle with the concept don’t they!

I like meat but have greatly reduced my consumption over the past year out of concern for animal welfare and environmental reasons. I shall probably go all the way and go veggie in the not too distant future. Having a convincing meat substitute would definitely help.
However, I applaud your coining of the word "meatetarian". It makes me smile.

Just tried to buy one in Boscombe high street for the footy. Only to be told they sold out, all the bloody meat eaters buying them no one buying the meat ones, restrict your self at the buffet please.

I simply decided that animals didn't need to die for me to eat. I had, and indeed still have, no issue with meaty textures.

You just KNOW that when they feel the need to bang on about '96 layers of puff pastry' that the whole thing is just so much PR BS.
I haven’t eaten meat for 35 years and the veggie alternatives have been great for years.

Interesting thread. Mrs. P has been veggie since well before we met, and the Potting girls are also Veggie. No intention of going the same way but as I do most of the cooking I frankly can't be a***d to do a separate meat option and usually have what they are having. Makes the meat I do eat seem even tastier!
With regard to Gregg's new produce anything that annoys that nincompoop Morgan gets my vote. I also remember that veggies/vegans use exactly the same currency as us and suspect that Greggs are laughing all the way to the bank with lots of free publicity to boot.

I checked to see if it was an early April Fool and found this.

Right .......Greggs vegan “ sausage “ roll !
For research purposes yesterday morning I purchased one ....
1. Looks ok
2. Slightly salty ( and I’m a smoker )
3. Taste , smell and text just like a porky one !
I’m confused but maybe just a 7/10.

Hold my hands up and say I was wrong. I now know the picture of the numpties outside Greggs was nothing to do with vegan sausage rolls. My bad

If animals are not eaten then they will have to be culled
