    The states are wrong. That’s a sausage roll, and it’s been a sausage roll for decades. The whole “pig in a blanket” thing is a new thing from people that basically reinvented the sausage roll and didn’t have the sense to check if it already existed.

    I’m not exaggerating when I say that wars were started over less, and Australia and the UK would probably happily have their finger on the nuclear button if America doesn’t come to its senses and just embrace the correct food names…

    Anger aside, I’m absolutely shocked that Greggs hasn’t tried to make its way stateside. Extremely cheap, fast food that’s greasy as fuck, has barely any nutritional value, and so convenient that you can just eat it out of the bag - sounds like an American dream.

      I’ve found American food is generally less liquidy grease than british food. Americans don’t want fried chicken dripping in grease, they want it dried then covered in various sauces. Also places like golden corral and cracker barrel already exist and are kinda dying

        No idea why this is downvoted, America does love a condiment. Thankfully, sausage rolls are extremely dippable, and some people do decide to dunk them in all sorts. It’s not something I’d do, but I’d tolerate it.
