The great Scouse pasty war (livpost.co.uk)

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.

I’m just going say this, what’s shown in the illustration is clearly NOT a pasty.

Pasties are pretty serious grub.

I used to love my Sayers sausage roll as a kid. I haven't lived in Liverpool for 25 years now, but sad to hear Sayers is no more.

Obligatory dad joke.

How do you make a sausage roll?

Push it down a hill.

> I have nothing against Greggs.

I do. This man is benefitting from your custom: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-39443585

goddamnit, read for a solid 5 minutes until I realised the rest is paywalled, sigh. No pasty facts isn’t worth another subscription. I have many other interesting things to do
