It says quite clearly on their website that they use sustainable palm oil. The pastry is made from wheat and barley.Yes but what is the pastry made from.. seed oils presumably? And palm oil?

Also good for people who don’t eat pork or other meats for religious reasonsOh yes i had forgotten about allergies. Thanks.
That would be repulsive. I’m allergic to liver and kidneys. Brings me out in a “offal” rash.Especially not all together
People also use products like this to help them transition away from meat and onto a plant based diet. And they can be really handy in a pinch when you’re out and about and need to grab something to eat. I made sure to locate the nearest Greggs to my usual A&E department when I’m working in the ambulance, if I needed to get food and wasn’t able to get back to base for my meal break, just in case. Also, they’re lovely. I’ve always loved sausage rolls.
I hope you're not including me in that. I was just asking an honest question. When I was put off meat years ago I couldn't stand the texture of it so wouldn't want something that was so similar to meat. The point about not eating pork for religious reasons that LooperCat made was something I hadn't thought of either.Exactly the same here. It was lovely to easily find something yummy to eat when out as Greggs seem to be just about everywhere.
I'm not sure why all the criticism from meat eaters - this thread is on the vegetarian diet forum.
As long as it’s not dessicated coconut, liver or kidneys then I’m up for trying one. Life on the edge

Isn't that about the normal amount of carbs for medium sized pork sausage roll?
Their meat versions are possibly no different in that regard?
I don't think so, but post #2 seemed to be suggesting that was a good reason to eat them.Probably but I don't think people are choosing it simply based on carbs are they?

As an observer, my concern is non-disclosure of the full ingredients. Some of the competitive alternative burgers have recently rightly come under the spotlight regarding their ingredients list. Everyone in this list is an experienced foodie so understands the implications of junk food, so make an informed decision, the general public do not. I wouldn't go near this food like clearly tasty item, and at 18% pork, if someone handed me the meat version I would bin it immediately. What a corrupt system allowing this percentage to be acceptable, it should be at least 85% and the fillers all listed. If this company in my view dupes people with 18% meat content, what are they doing with the rest of their food-like stuff, let alone "sausage" rolls.I hope you're not including me in that.

I mentioned the carb count, because as types ones (part of the reason I tagged the thread as such) when we know the carb count of a food, we can dose the appropriate amount of insulin for it. It’s essential information for us. These sausage rolls are surprisingly low in carbs, considering they’re basically junk food.I don't think so, but post #2 seemed to be suggesting that was a good reason to eat them.
Chook, I might be misinterpreting other posts of yours, but if you're going down the gluten free route at the moment, it's noteworthy the pasty has wheat flour in it?
I saw these a couple of weeks ago, whilst in Greggs purchasing MrB's annual standard sausage roll. He's not LC the Justin tend to give him indigestion, so he severely limits his indulgence.
Does that mean you personally oppose the use of Palm oil? And if so, what is your objection? Do you apply a different ethic or value to an Orangutan than you do to a cow or sheep or pig or other animal?Yes but what is the pastry made from.. seed oils presumably? And palm oil?
I wouldn't eat it out of choice.Does that mean you personally oppose the use of Palm oil?
Highly likely to be unhealthy for me.And if so, what is your objection?
Not particularly although I have never tried any monkey it would be hard as I try to eat locally sourced food rather than things that are flown in from overseas.Do you apply a different ethic or value to an Orangutan than you do to a cow or sheep or pig or other animal?
From the MetroSome pastry. And a Quorn sausage.
I certainly wasn't rebuking you for having a vegan sausage roll, it was more to be sure you're aware of the wheat element, now you're going GF.These came in very handy during over the period I had to stay with relatives when my MIL died. I couldn't ask other people to cater for my vegetarian, low carb AND gluten way of eating.
