    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.

    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.

      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.

      If you start a business do pork pies too.
