We charged round every Gregg’s in Manchester getting irate about not finding them, then later reflected that paying a pound each for a Quorn sausage in some shit batter would bring us little joy and we’ve been done by Piers Morgan advertising

The big chains are all fine

In my experience Greggs has been almost completely usurped by Wenzels in north west London.

This is a really bad example. The three weeks of frying them in fat and sugar (or whatever it is they do to them) definitely makes them taste very different to any supermarket/bakery doughnut. Not necessarily better, but it’s a completely different taste.

I still live with my ‘if you see a Krispy Kreme outlet, you HAVE to buy one, cos you never know when you’ll next see one’ rule.

It’s a good rule.

Thinking of getting into posting really basic Instagram content around stuff like this

“Loving this @coop cheese sandwich”
“Having a great time with my @pret #filtercoffee :coffee:

Etc etc

Disagree with the last bit.

chain stuff is safe though. People aren’t going to give you crap for how you look or ask you how your meal is and you don’t have to ask for the bill and give a tip and wonder what the food will be like.

Had a Krispy Kreme doughnut this morning actually and it was Quite Nice but I don’t think they’re a million miles away from Gregg’s ones
