lapal_fan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yesterday I had football so would be missing tea, and had to pop over to a toy shop for some stuff. There was a Greggs on the complex, so I thought "I'll have something small and quick before football". Wanted something they didn't have, so had a Cornish pasty thing instead instead. It was probably the saddest thing I've ever put in my mouth. The peas were uncooked and hard, the "beef" was just tiny, miniscule lumps within a gelatinous gravy, with some tiny bits of undercooked carrots. Should have realised not to have it when the woman who served me said "It's kinda warm". 9.5/10 would never eat again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm not going to say that, because curry sauce is wholly acceptable for your moisture provision. But I will say that that choice would be £8.95 where I live in Lancs, or more if I go to a different chippy a bit further way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these are native to West Midlands too (Black Country). Bought some of these a while back. Utter garbage tasted of cheep mush. I sure they have got worse though how they can lower the quality when the ingredients should just be offal and breadcrumbs I don't know. Avoid.
