I don't like the normal bean one because of the cheese. . I liked the vegan one very much though. Really surprised me.

It's not so much "UK cornbeef is different" it's more of the fact this was an alternative method of making "cornbeef" during the boom of canned products, it was more of a rationing thing

[@albedo0point39]

Greggs actually have a genius business model. If you sell hot food in the UK, the customer has to pay 20% tax since it’s seen as a luxury item. Greggs bake everything fresh and just leave it to cool down… and it’s usually still warm when you buy it; but because their display isn’t heated they avoid charging the tax so they can under-cut other high street vendors.

[@davidorton4487]

You must try Greggs Cheese and Onion pasty. The Chicken bake is also one of my favourites as I just love the delicious creamy sauce inside. I totally agree with you guys about the Sausage roll and the pizza 🍕 very very tasty 😋 take care Dave

We loved Greggs when we visited, we are from Australia, they had a Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade.in a bottle that was the best soft drink or do you call it soda that we tried. Now for the food for breakfast we loved the Sausage and Omelette Breakfast Baguette, that was yum. As for other food we loved the cheese and onion bake and loved the sausage roll.. All the baguettes we tried were good. We had these mini strawberry tarts they were divine. Also I love watching your UK adventures, you look like you having a blast,

[@dogstaraycliffe]

The Raspberry Lemonade is amazing 🙂

[@SuperLeonDenny]

Love the channel for both of you! A late comment but just incase you were unaware I thought I would advise on the following: In case you wondered the reason why food isn't always hot at Greggs is the fact that they don't call themselves a hot bakery because with hot food they would have to charge tax on it. Therefore if you want your items to be hot such as the sausage rolls / bakes the best time is probably lunchtime or a busy time when demand is there so they'll be heating a fresh batch of bakes etc regularly.

[@sicr7373]

Great video! As a meat-eater, the Vegan sausage roll from Greggs is pretty good. Other options you have to try when you next visit: Steak Bake and the Yum Yums are incredible. At Christmas they have a limited item called a festive bake which is also delicious - chicken breast pieces, sage and onion stuffing, bacon and a creamy sage and cranberry sauce. Superb in the cold weather!

[@Nyansalot]

Just to note, and I know I'm a year late with this, but Corned Beef Hash in the UK is basically mashed up Corned Beef mixed in Mash Potato. That's probably why the texture threw you guys off a bit.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

I recommend the "Apple Danish" from Greggs. Greggs is where everybody from office workers and building workers, to school children and shoppers go for a good value midday meal. I also avoid their corned beef bakes, as they give me heartburn. There is massive competition on the High Street for the midday meal trade. Since their are hardly and works canteens left now, and few people make packed lunches any more. My grandparents generation, seem to have been the last ones to think that eating in the street was a terrible thing to do. So just about every supermarket and gas station are doing sandwich based "Meal Deals" now. So Greggs have mainly switched from sandwiches to baguettes and wraps instead.

My wife loves the Jammy Heart Biscuits, my daughter loves the sausage rolls. As for doughnuts, my favourite is to find a little fresh doughnut stall/shop that makes them to order. Fresh cooked with a little sugar is awesome. Also, I'd suggest trying a decent all butter or clotted cream Shortbread (not Shortcake, that's different). This is not actually bread, but a kind of biscuit. Two varieties I'd suggest is plain with sugar and what's called "Millionaire's Shortbread", which is shortbread topped with caramel and chocolate.

[@sandrabeaumont9161]

Greggs, like you know, is a chain so their items are mass produced, the store heats them up. The sausage rolls and other food you tried in Camden, Borough Market etc are artisan products made in smaller sites or on the premises where you ate.

[@PCA05KAT]

Greggs pizza is like school lunch pizza. The vegan sausage roll is by far the best item. Their wedges and cheese and ham toastie are great too.

[@jacquelinebell6040]

In the early days of Greggs opening up the first store in Newcastle Upon Tyne, the food was ok, the sausage rolls, pies and pasties were full and crammed to the crust. Now, things are very different even down to the pastry, which seems to be very rich and buttery. The only thing I buy from there now, is ‘grab food’ in the way of a tuna crunch baguette and a toffee custard donut or a peach melba. And even the peach melba is a little short on peaches compared to years ago.

[@dmg2324]

Cheese and onion pasty (or bake as they're now called) and vegetable bakes are my favourite. I love the sausage rolls when they've gone cold 😍

The cheese and bacon turnover is a life changer! Also the Sausage bean and cheese melt is really good.. however if you don't like baked beans it won't be your thing.

[@andyhutchinson987]

Choice from Greggs would be a Stottie cake. You can tell you're in the North of England when you see Greggs selling Stotties :-) somewhere around an east west line running through Doncaster. A stottie is a flat bread and if you are a tourist looking to make a sandwich to carry with you you so can't go wrong. Bacon/sausage or ham/pease pudding is well worth a go. Also bear in mind if you can't find something someone suggests, it might be because it's a regional item only sold in certain areas. Like the Stotties. They went from a bike delivery to one shop, Greggs of Gosforth to a national chain. Side fact, The Greggs on Northumberland street in Newcastle is the only shop that I know of that reverses the letters in it's name at Christmas :-) SGGERG. They do it because over the road is a dept store called Fenwicks which has a Christmas window display and when people take pictures, the name Greggs name appears the right way round in the window reflection:-)

[@pureb7235]

You got pizza at school? Wow. Lucky you. Surprised you didn't try the famous Greggs vegan sausage roll. Traditional sausage rolls were more like the Greggs ones just filled with sausage meat. But in recent years they've become much bigger and fancier with other added meats and ingredients like the ones you had in Cornwall. You're right about Starbucks coffee. It's like dishwater. You should try a coffee at Caffe Nero coffee chain next. I think it's the best. McDonalds coffee is supposedly pretty good also for the price which is only £1 I believe. You'll have to let us know if you agree.

I'm not big on the bakes but the pizza I'd OK. Doughnuts or cookies i have to be in the mood for. Homemade French fancies are nice but can be a bit too sweet lol.

Yes, once you have experienced a real Cornish Pasty & other baked goodies from an in store bakery. I did try Greggs, my dog liked it though.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

A lot of people. 😂😂😂

[@weedle30]

‘They’ said that “we all recommended that they try Gregg’s….” - not me! But I’m thinking that they were getting a taste of our brutal and sarcastic sense of humour 😉 thinking it would be funny to watch them taste testing factory produced fodder in the hope they thought they would be eating proper “home made” bakery goods… funny but not funny - we are soooo cruel! (🤣) (trying hard not to laugh)…

@@TheMagicGeekdom After eating all those gourmet pasties my heart sank seeing the title of this video.

[@ReaperMan1010]

I’m sure others have suggested them but I’d recommend the Sausage & Bean Melt, the Cheese & Onion pasty and the Beef & Vegetable pasty (which used to be called a Cornish pasty until they had to rename it as it’s made in Newcastle). If they are still doing the sweet mince pies all year round, I’d recommend them too (they did them all year when I worked there but that was a long time ago so they may have changed).

I'm from Texas but was born & raised in England. Back then, Gregs used to be called Thurstons. I remember it well. Their cornish pasties and sausage rolls were my favorite.

[@Jamal_Tyrone]

What made you move to Texas?

[@jayveebloggs9057]

er no it wasn't...

[@Eddiecurrent2000]

Steak bake is a must, the cheese and bacon turn over is also pretty good, and you must try the Belgian buns and apple danish. I prefer Greggs coffee over starbucks any day of the week.

[@Pengi_SMILES]

I think you worked Greggs out. It's not the best food, in fact far from it- but it's cheap and they are ubiquitous- you can find a Greggs anywhere and for grabbing a quick breakfast or lunch for very little expenditure they are extremely handy.

[@Pengi_SMILES]

Favourite item- Sausage rolls, Dteak bake, Yum yum- and at Christmas time a festive bake.

[@welshbarbie]

The sausage and bean bake, tuna crunch baguette and their yum yums are my favourite 😍😍

[@kazanator]

When you visit York you should visit Cooplands or Thomas the Baker, they are kind of like Gregg's but they are more local chains and the quality is MUCH Better!

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

That sounds good!

[@daveduvergier3412]

Sausage and bean melt and a chicken bake for me every time ! The chicken bake in particular is bloody delicious

[@Angel-kf4sg]

The vegan sausage roll is sooo good, they do a vegan cheese and bean melt too which is nice 😊

[@nealgrimes4382]

I had a vegan saus roll tasted like cardboard.

[@davidhawkins1404]

If you have not done so already why not try out Wimpy which is a UK burger restaurant chain where meals are plated rather than fast food. Not all towns have one, but has been a favourite of mine since the 60's. Was in the Southend On Sea one today and they are currently running a couple of special deals. One is every day until end of June and you get a smoky BBQ burger and an eton mess ice cream sundae for a bargain £6.95. The other deal is on Wednesdays only and is a burger and fries plus a drink for £5.95 all in. As far as I am aware Wimpy only operate in South Africa and the UK, so would be interesting to see what you think.

[@garypeyman932]

I'm a baker so I suppose it's a bit of professional pride at work but I bloody hate Gregg's

[@dh1380]

You don't have to be a Baker to understand what an abomination Greggs is

[@anthonyphillips9989]

Nobody's forcing you. Just means there's more for me and friends.

[@daveybearful]

Can you cook & sell your items for the same price as Greggs?

[@JohnDoe-tp8mc]

Grouts is better to be fair

[@MillsyLM]

Greggs has changed a lot in the last 20 years. I was a shop manager there for over 5 years until I left in 2002.

[@trumptypumpty]

I'm totally baffled at what people see in Greggs? Virtually every high street baker has better warm savouries and a good local bakery will always trump Gregg's ' mass produced rubbish.

[@ftumschk]

Agreed. We had a wonderful family-run bakery which made a wider range of vastly superior products, but it went to the wall after a branch of Greggs opened in our town.

[@niallrussell7184]

high street bakeries couldn't compete with supermarket bakeries. Greggs hasn't been a proper bakery since 2013-2015, bread etc.

[@paulelroy6650]

They are nice and cheap. I dont think anyone I'm the uk will say theyvare the best bakers

[@trumptypumpty]

@@paulelroy6650 I'm not convinced with that? Our local bakery is the same price and very good....Greggs came to my town quite recently and are not doing brilliant... Seems to be youngster's who have bought the marketing?

[@grahamunsworth1195]

chicken bakes, sausage, cheese and bean melt with a caramel custard donut are my go to items!

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Those all sound pretty tasty.

[@TheKruxed]

I'm not a fan of Greggs but I'm glad you mention/consider price, its something most channels that react to foods forget about, if somethings cheap yet acceptable then it increases its worth, not least of all that this is UK fast food which is warm/hot, we are used to things being cold and miserable like us lol which is probably why a cheap chain like Greggs is so popular

[@lynndunlop2071]

Ooooh I love Greggs steak bakes and yum yums, and their sausages rolls are also fab! You guys are great ❤
