What the hell is a cheese straw
Its the bobs your uncle of cheese pastry senpai
Liar, Idris is lactose intolerant.
>British """""culture"""""
was called racist at greggs lads
who said they were for him?
How long before Greggs go international?
Its literally the most successful fast food company in the UK
madlad
I once met Idris Elba at a charity do. he was incredibly down to earth, and VERY funny.
Did he play you in this series of events?
How do you bob an uncle?
you start by fannying your aunt
This confuses Johnny foreigner
With your mouth I think
fuck I miss chicken bakes
>tfw live near-ish one but have never been
>4 cheese straws for a pound
or
>6 hearty sausage rolls for a pound
And this is why Cooplands is the superior bakery
It's not that much of a big deal.
I've seen Leo in my local Liddle once and he was pretty chill.
He just asked me not to revelate.
it's gash anyway
Large head on that lad
if Tescos can't do it, Greggs has no chance
Once I saw George Clooney in my local Home Bargains.
Dude seems super chill tbqh. Not at all like the majority of black celebs.
Local greggs steak bakes are £1.65
What the fuck happened to this country
They got smaller too
You can find Tescos all over Europe.
for me its the cheese and onion or steak slice
the sausage rolls are good but I feel sick after two of them and I always buy like 5 because the guy behind the counter always tricks me into it by saying I can save a £1 if I buy more despite saving £2 if I don't buy the fucking things
ah yes fookin' lovely
We have those here. They’re called hotpockets and I wouldn’t feed one to my dog. You’re actually buying them out of a bakery case lmao
wow you're telling me that microwave pastries with meat/fruit exist in america and the ones that taste disgusting are the ones named "hot pocket" and come in a cardboard box stored next to microwave burgers? interesting
I saw Idris Elba in Sneed's the other day buying 4 gummi bears for a quid. He seemed nice.
Four cheese straws for a pound?
At Greggs?
Blimey, that's quite a cracking bargain
sounds delicious
ive only ever had sasauge rolls
why?
It's a /brit/ meme.
now you've ruined it
I can't believe you've done this
chicken bakes are alright as long as you dont look down at what youre eating
Is it true they don't serve fresh hot sausage rolls anymore, only cold ones?
What the hell is a quid?
£1 or a "buck" as you yanks would say
100 pennywazzles
I was being racist
fucking idiot you don't get cheese straws from Greggs you get them from Curtsies. stupid nonce
The only thing that makes a woman hotter than Idris Elba is Michael B. Jordan
meant Curtis's
Is that the entire store there?
Yes? It's a small bakery. Why would you need a bigger Greggs? To accomodate Americans?
Check out this humourless cunt.
Never been in a Greggs but I did buy some of their stuff from Iceland, and it wasn't bad.
That sounds great. I wish I lived in the UK.
undred pee innit
Greggs is a bakery chain, it's essentially a massive oven behind a room full of shelves that cooks/heats things up constantly so you're never more than 15mins away from a freshly cooked item. Fast turnaround means there doesn't need to be a massive store.
whenever I go to Greggs after work all the stake bakes or mince pies have gone cold. I have to get a tuna baguette instead since cold pastries are horrific
should just go to subway tbph lads
I don't think i've had an adequately heated steak bake in years. Either freezing cold or nuclear every time.
I'm glad Britain won't exist in 20 years
In Germany there's BackWerk (think "Bakery Plant") which is awfully overpriced and usually doesn't even taste that well.
Is Greggs actually good?
>aulds doesnt sell chicken bakes anymore because no-one bought them
I'm going to shoot every single freak that buys a chicken bake from greggs, how fucking dare they
steak bakes from greggs are god tier
sosij row
Based. Steak slice for me please lad
>He thinks pasties are like hot pockets
I bet you think we microwave them
Gregs pastries are fuckall like hotpockets you melt
it's just a fast food outlet that sells pasties. it's not completely awful because pasties are hard to screw up.
Always dreamt about opening up my own pastie bakery.
Would Germans appreciate it?
I'm coincidentally going to German soon.
Oi lad what’s your thoughts on these vegan sausage rolls
I prefer Oddie's
Pound bakery >>>>>>>>>> Greggs
Important question lads:
is it pronounced gin-sters or ginn-sters
A silly thing that used to have a lot of value and respect but now is seen as a joke by the world at large.
Pound Bakery
2 pasties for a pound m8
It's or8 if ur on the dole
Considering how succesful BackWerk and similar stuff is yeah.
Abhorrent creation
that's the same thing
>British people copy and understand our culture but we have ZERO interest in theirs
Why is american culture so fun and accessible but British culture is so nonsensical and arbitrary?
He means Gin (as in the drink) or Ginn (sounds like Git)
someone subtly troll this by having one blacked actor in "The Most Beloved Actors of the Modern Era"
>american
>culture
You guys have Kamps though. Kamps is pretty great.
Chicken bakes are the best, about the only edible thing in there
I guarantee we'll outlive whatever shithole you're from!
nope nope nope not even remotely the same thing
Just found out tramp juice has gone from 8% to 7.5% (used to be 9%). Time to start drinking cheap boxed wine when I'm watching propaganda.
I saw Robert De Niro at The Range buying fireworks, I noticed him, but told me to keep quiet and did his usual De Niro face thing, top bloke tbf
How can anyone unironically hate idris? He's a model minority in 2 different countries. >youtube.com
Idris is based,. Love that guy.
Anyone who isn't from newcastle before greggs became the behemoth it is now, will never know how good their food was.
Quality took a dive the more they produced.
Because our culture has been created over thousands of years.
I went to Greggs earlier today to get a mexican chicken baguette and saw Michael Gambon in a bookshop on cecil court on the way. This is 100% true.
at Greggs?
>out in town
>go into sainsburys
>"oh cheese straws guess I'll buy two"
>they're damp as fuck and don't taste like cheese
Fuck Sainsburys.
>6 for a quid at cooplands
It's £1 for 4 in my city's cooplands, where the fuck do you live mate?
How this country somehow ruled the world once in the past fucking baffles me.
They're actually not that bad desu
Greggs is nice when it's hot but there's nowt worse than a cold pasty. Certain items aren't too bad cold but you really need to catch them at the right time.
And I'm not sure what this cheese straw meme is about.
>Nowt
I'd put 20p on you being from the east coast
I once bumped into Vin Diesal in the local Coop. Nice lad. Had an armful of foamy bananas.
I'm certainly from an eastern coast, but there is no "the east coast" on my fair isles.
>it's an "americans can't understand the language their country used to speak" episode
dios mio...
Where you from lad?
Ok, east riding of Yorkshire
Better our kid?
pastry is fine cold. have you never had cold sausage rolls?
CHIPS are what's fucking inedible when it cools down.
Newcastle marra
Oh yeah I forgot you lads speak similar just with a diff accent
I know this is bait but you of course are aware that similarities between U.S. and british culture is because you used to be british. Right?
Went to greggs twice today lads
I think you struck a nerve
Saw Kevin Bacon in the civic promoting wireless chargers at EE.
I think even homeless people wouldn't eat cold chips mate, they're like the one thing you can't reheat
went to my bud Greg's place today. Good guy.
the quality of pastries in the UK is unironically higher. cornish pasties are for the moment protected under EU regulations or something.
>melt
Britfag here, I've only ever heard this word used as an insult on Yea Forums.
In which inbred northern region is it actually used IRL?
cheeky tooter while smibbly bibbling
Iirc it's the same as Wensleydale cheese and Melton mowbray pork pies, they have to be made there to be called that
But no one watches handegg, apehoop or spicswing over here. And the only reason Hollywood gets so much attention is because 90% of people in it are British and Jews
It's a souf thing you fucking dickhead
>brits are so fat they make their straws out of cheese
Bullshit. Tell me where in the south people insult each other using the word "melt".
yeah
They do in Somerset
Essex, you melt
They don't sell cheese straws at greggs though
Huh. Guess it makes sense that a people who have regular intercourse with farmyard animals would invent such a lame way of insulting people
Nowhere in Essex is the word "melt" used as an insult, faggot.
Pretty good lad, they taste buttery although there can't be any
Okay, but how many milky ways did he buy?

It's inexplicable. Then again us Yanks are going to rule it for about 1/4 the amount of time that the Brits did so I can't even talk shit.

He was buying them for his wife's daughter (look it up).
They already have:
>Asda's sales rose 0.1% in the 12 weeks to 24 March taking its market share to 15.4%, research firm Kantar said.
>In contrast, Sainsbury's sales fell 1.8% over the same period, meaning its market share dropped to 15.3%.

Asda is owned by Walmart
Without going through 140 posts of this thread, any Anglobros can confirm that Gregg's is basically a poor people's bakery for chavs or something?
No its based and for everyone
Only snobby boomer women turn their nose up at it
Cheap and cheerful, you can get a belly full of heavily peppered processed meat and pastry that's red hot and fresh for a quid.
I don't know what point you're trying to make

Wow, a market. You sure showed me.
I generally avoid that shit but I I'll give Greggs their due, they have a strong donut game. A third of the price of overrated Krispy Kreme shite.
one loonie or half a toonie
Krispy Kreme are tissue paper soaked in fail and aids.
I've lived in both countrys and Greggs is better than Backwerk but Backwerk is the very worst bakery in Germany and anything else is better than Greggs.
Can't argue with those

>sausage
>from Greggs
senpai
Is Greggs actually good? From everything I hear it just sounds like a British version of Tim Horton’s which would mean its dogshit
do you have donut/doughnut shops, or does greggs fill that niche? do people bring a box of greggs to the office?
it's so tempting just to let go and attain fatass status, i either have to eat sparingly or spend two hours on a hamster wheel. cheap delicious treats everywhere. i would fall prey to an ubiquitous pastry shop.
Nah, you bring boxes of the flapjacks, brownies and such from Asda. And grapes, because the government will crush you if you don't offer a healthy option.
funny enough, frozen grapes are my go-to snack.
GREGGSIT
Greggs does doughnuts but you can get quite good doughnuts in any Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys, they mostly have on-suite bakeries. There are standalone doughnut shops but they're considered trendy hipster places for faggots
>>tfw Christmas before last i got the Greggs advent calendar
What? Is it sausage rolls behind each door?
Supermarkets normally make their own, usually in the bakery section, Someplace you can buy boxes of Krispy Kreme
Tesco has a Krispy Kreme counter and also a full roast chicken in a bag counter

Well do explain.
Fun fact. It was actually you guys deviating to be more artsy fartsy.

wtf
You pasty eating bastards sicken me, of all the rotten unhealthy food to stuff down your thought, you had to choose this foul tasting shit.
This is the most retarded thing I've heard in a while and I live in the deep south. Every country has fucking pastries, and they are delicious, the fact that all you can equate them to is a frozen grease sponge shows how culturally bankrupt you are.
Prime lasses there
Just apastry wi' a bit a stew inside, whats wrong wi that ya poofter

Ooh get us a bag of minstrels if you could mate
PANDA POP
Not a yank, just laughing at the absolute state of Britannia in 2019
it really depends on the brand.
Best I could do lad
>sugar and fat are bad
If you eat greggs pasties as part of a calorie controlled diet it's fine.
(500cal per pasty 57% fat)
>t. Greggs shill
what a warm feeling
Here you are lad, last pack. Had to wrestle it from some chav.
Well Greggs definately isn't in any sense a healthy choice, some of these "snacks" have more calories, saturated fat and salt than an entire lunch
>Smiths used to make Frazzles
>Walkers make them now
>But Smiths have their own off-brand Frazzles
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here!
Idris Elba looks extremely white for a black person.
Smiths new ones are better desu and you can get scampi ones.
that's why people are ok with him being James Bond. He's black, but not real black
like he's not some asshole Congo-nigger, he's a cockney with a tan basically
You've convinced me senpai.
It's fine if you're labourer doing 10 hours lumbering shit around a site, every greggs though is frequented mostly by obese cunts who can't bend down
>Not going to the poundbakery and getting sausage rolls made out of God knows what

Went to Kamps last time I was in Düsseldorf, impressed with their breads and such
I'll have the mustard lad
That one with the Mancunian who's interested in Ancient Greek literature and walks about London at might. Can't remember the name for the life of me
In Dusseldorf there are Kamps where you can look out the window and see another Kamps. It approaches Dunkin Donuts in Massachusetts levels
Why do the british thin anyone give s a shit about their food brands? Every place has stores that sell things
can someone translate this into english?
They've only recently started bringing it over to Ireland, they opened one in my town. PAsties arn't a thing here really so I wanted to try it as a snack. Went into it and looked at all the nutritional labels, its worse than McDonalds so I went to the cafe next door and had a chicken sandwich
based idris, gotta get back into djing
no thanks, i'm not a degenerate so I don't eat crisps
How are you ever going to get a body like this reading nutritional labels you poof
he's personally harmless, I have nothing against him, but the level that he was being hyped as THE SEXIEST MAN OF ALL TIME by overeager media was off-putting
Brexit, they think the world is gonna beg them to open pasty stores around the world like their cuisine can rival Italys
naked and he's into existential and nihilist philosophy brainlet
It's honestly a shame how Britain's black community has collapsed. There are so many damn reasons on top of each other.
>Blair opening the floodgates to Nigeria and Somalia, immersing Caribbean blacks in African savagery
>The growth of identity politics and grievance mongering to the point that one idiot tried to claim that Britain had laws on which races could vote
>American gangsta rap helping to drown out local cultures while glorifying drugs and violence
>London deciding coke was it's drug of choice
And now here we are in a race to the bottom. At least they're not quite at the level of American blacks who think learning is for faggots. Yet.

He also mentions stuff about Homer, not seen it in years though
>that's why people are ok with him being James Bond
No it's not. The reason "people" want him to be Bond is because literally everyone who actually cares about the property doesn't want him to be. They just want to ruin it for fans.
>two kinds of wine gums
well hark at his lordship
>but the level that he was being hyped as THE SEXIEST MAN OF ALL TIME by overeager media was off-putting
Normally that shit bugs me too but in his case at least it was somewhat organic unlike a lot of people that get that attention. He had a huge female and mancrush following coming into it. Too bad he can't get a decent film script to save his life.
>looked at all the nutritional labels
What are you some kind of facking food doctor? just get it down you

>Maynards
>Bassets

25% to be exact, but even my 100% white friends felt the same way.

Americans don't have Yorkshire puds with their roast dinners.
They also don't use "mad" to mean "insane", just "angry".

They're legally obliged, it's on their website and the calories are on the boards in their shops
was it organic? I can't say anyone was running up to me going IDRIS ELBA IS SO SEXY but I dunno
Yorkshire puds are disgusting and tasteless and serve no purpose, don't @ me

A large part of why he peaked in popularity was because of Stringer Bell, and yes he was by far the most popular character and actor on the show. And yes people couldn't stop gushing about his looks before the media ran with it. Ofc you'd actually have to be into television and film to notice these things. He wasn't rob pattinson huge with little girls if thats what you are referring to but yeah he was fucking big with core fan bases.
nah greggs is based, if you turn your nose at greggs you're a mincing faggot

PoundBakery that mate.
Not if you like having a disposable income. They're also inconsistent as fuck, their chicken caesar wraps will have one wrap that's dry as fuck and the other one will just be filled with mayonnaise.
Sainsburys and Morrisons both have better quality products and Morrisons stores are the comfiest of any supermarket.
Price wise Asda are good for toiletries and whisky.
