Is there a more expensive sausage roll out there?

My wife and I stopped at a ‘hipster’ type coffee shop in Vienna Airport because we were gasping (and it was the only one open at 06.00am), we ordered 2 x cappuccinos and I offered a €20 note to pay but it wasn’t enough ... it was €22 for 2 x coffees - I almost choked and my wife gave me the ‘don’t start’ look

Now that is expensive!

As I get older I find I only really go to three shops: the opticians, the pharmacy and the local bakery. My life is just specs, drugs and sausage rolls.

Luckily my local bakery is a Gregg's at the top of a steep hill, so their sausage roll is dirt cheap...they sell them without the pastry. I push it down the hill when I get outside and make a sausage role

[Vienna airport:] That's a lot to pay with no sausage roll :-(

I have fond memories of rolling into Kelso in need of sustenance after a hilly Borders ride.

The first place we came to was Greggs.

My sausage roll was so hot I had to leave it on the table for a few minutes.

There are few things better than a Greggs sausage roll straight out of the oven.

... and while we're giving them credit, they popularised the very edible vegan 'roll.

They’re horrible! As an ex meat eater, do I miss the Greggs sausage roll...maybe occasionally!

But vile when tepid!

If I’m paying for hot food, I expect it to be hot

Morrison's jam doughnuts are both delicious and a bargain. I can't remember the exact price but we last bought a pack of four for about a pound.

There's an "I saw you coming" bakery near us that charges £1.75 for one jam doughnut. I did buy one to see if it was the king of doughnuts but the Morrison's ones were nicer.

Now that's a good example: I would happily pay £1.75 for an exceptional doughnut. If I found a 30-50p alternative of equal standard then happy days, but that wouldn't stop me paying £1.75 in my hour of need, if that was the only option 😋

Sausage rolls are pretty cheap considering you can build whole cities on them.

I thought cities were built on rock n roll
