Sadly Greggs does not exist in the free state of the Emerald Isle.
I look forward to their arrival as we now have Weatherspoons so I expect all trade barriers are down.

Yes, but you've admitted yourself that the quality ingredients make feck all difference. It was the same when I made Cornish pasties with nice bits of skirt steak, finely diced vegetables and lovingly-made lard pastry. They just ended up tasting like Cornish pasties. :shrug:
Yes of course, but there are certain foodstuffs that defy gentrification. Indeed, it's possible that part of their appeal lies in the cheapness of their ingredients and shoddiness of their preparation. For me, a sausage roll is such a beast. After all, bland, pink mechanically-recovered meat paste and limp, greasy, lukewarm pastry wilted under a heat lamp do beat good crisp pastry and flavoursome pork mince. That's just a fact.
