    I’m just going say this, what’s shown in the illustration is clearly NOT a pasty.

    Pasties are pretty serious grub.

    Bizarre, but welcome, to see this article wholly unrelated to hackerdom on the front page.

    My take is that Sayers quality just wasn’t good enough and still isn’t, and that all the buyouts gutted the heart out of the business.

    As a scouser I choose Greggs over Sayers any day.

      If I'm thinking quality, Greggs isn't my first suggestion...

      Whyyy haven't sausage rolls taken off in the US?

      Traveling to the UK and Australia, I love them. So satisfying.

      Why do we get stuck with... gas station hotdogs instead?

      I genuinely don't get it.

        If you start a business do pork pies too.

          And Scotch eggs

            And Jellied eel, why not?

              Pork pies and scotch eggs are widely-available savoury snacks in the UK, but jellied eels are not?

                I want to make clear to the US folks here that there's about 2 or 3 cafes that still sell traditional eels, and it's explicitly a London food, not wider British cuisine. From the number of videos and articles I see about them though, you'd think the country was covered in Eel cafés. Honestly, covering them at all is tabloid ragebait content at this point.

          Had to look up what was in the article and it's more like something you'd find at a donut shop in the US, but not quite the same. Things like the klobasnek/kolache are popular here in Texas.

            Cannot make the DFW<->AUS run without a Czech Stop

          I used to love my Sayers sausage roll as a kid. I haven't lived in Liverpool for 25 years now, but sad to hear Sayers is no more.

          Obligatory dad joke.

          How do you make a sausage roll?

          Push it down a hill.
