What your Greggs order says about you

What do you get from Greggs?

Tom Grant Food and Drink Writer

If you’re unfamiliar with Greggs, then this article isn’t for you. Apart from this one piece of advice, go to your nearest Greggs now (what have you been doing?). Now for the super fans out there, it’s time to determine whether you are a true Greggs love child or whether you’ve been deceiving your friends all along and don’t actually have a clue.

I’m sorry but are you a busi nessperson?

Unless you’re literally running onto the tram at 07:12 with this in your hand, I refuse to listen to another reason as to why you would voluntarily eat this.

It’s not edgy, but I get it can look more professional than having pastry down your tie.

Sausage Roll

You’re basic. Do you even know what Greggs stands for?

I guess you’re just getting this because you know it’s a safe bet and everyone will think you’re a Greggs connoisseur. You’re not.

Vegan Sausage Roll

I don’t know where to start with this one. I’d still say you’re basic, but I do understand there’s not much else you can eat on the menu.

I’ll let you off, but I want to see you trying the Vegan Sausage, Bean & CheeZe Melt so that your tastebuds can go on holiday.

Sausage, Bean & Cheese Melt later, as we all know you can’t keep a Cheese & Onion bake in your bag all day.

You are my favourite kind of person. You just just get a pizza slice, then just don’t bother going in.

We all know there’s a Domino’s opposite Greggs on Oxford Road. Please take your sins there and stop filling up the queue of bake lovers.

Yum Yum I like that you like these too. Greggs’ only original concept of a sweet treat, the Yum Yum is now a staple in many people’s daily Greggs orders. If you’re ever feel ing low whilst in a deep library session, the sugar from a Yum Yum will en sure you’re typing

Chocolate Brownies

There’s two reasons you may be having these little brownies that are nicely placed in front of the till. It may be because you really like brownies, or because you’re

Unfortunately, this is the only gluten free option currently on Greggs’ menu, so I will allow you to eat these in peace and shed a tear at the fact you can’t have a steak bake.

I’m not sure what to make of you. You like Greggs, but you don’t want to stand out in the crowd when you order. You go for a good bake, a fan favourite if you will, but you haven’t been more adventurous yet. I’ll give you time.

Southern Fried Potato Wedges some of Greggs’ most recent additions, are you?

Introduced a couple of years ago the hot food section is amazing and adding potato wedges onto the side of your Greggs is a great addition, and certainly better than the crisps we ate in the olden days. Pick mayonnaise though please.
