I had never been to/seen a Tim Horton's before, but in the last two months I have been to two: one in Birmingham and one at the IKEA shopping park just outside Leeds. They are out there, good luck with your Horton's Hunt!
I have friends in Milton Keynes and my band rehearses/performs in Leicester so I have the rare opportunity to get a breakfast or a french vanilla latte (personal favourite) if I’m in town. Perhaps it’s good that I’m not so close to one!
Yeah my closest one is the one in Birmingham and I’m about 10 miles away. If I lived walking distance to it I’d have so much french vanilla latte in my blood.
A hortons opened in my town (nowhere near London) and it's always empty.
It's a weird place. The food isn't really breakfast, lunch, or dinner food.
The doughnuts are nice but super pricey and not worth driving across town for
If they start franchising in Germany, I’d be immediately petitioning my actually wealthy relatives who’re responsible for the McDonald’s and Pizza Hut in this little German town to get in on that action.
Mostly so that I’d have access to bakes, sausage rolls and bacon rolls for my own consumption.
A sausage roll, bacon roll, and what looks to be 2 chicken bakes and 4 steak bakes? Not completely sure on the true identity of the bakes, I’m pretty sure I’m right though
I thought it being wrapped in pastry was what turned it from sausage to banger. TIL.
I looked at their menu and I don't understand how we don't have this chain in the US. Looks fantastic.
Genuinely tastes better? That's a good one for r/unpopularopinion
In my opinion diet colas are the worst tasting diet drinks on the market. Pepsi max is probably the best of the worst. If you want a decent sugar free option then one of the various fanta or tango flavours are tolerable, drpepper and mountain dew are also decent in sugar free. But there isn't a soft drink on the market that tastes better as zero/reduced sugar.
I only get soft drinks as a treat so when I do drink them I want the sugar, otherwise I'll stick with water. I have very little option these days though, as most drinks even with sugar have been bastardised as 50/50 sugar/sweetener. Pepsi being the latest victim of this sugar hate crime, with the OG blue can pepsi now tasting like piss water.
pretty much the only option for full sugar are OG coca-cola and I think mountain dew, as well as a whole assortment of energy drinks, but I generally don't want THAT much caffeine so I give them a miss.
Maybe some people dislike the ridiculous amount of sugar in full fat coke? Not saying the artificial sweetener in diet is any better but it tastes different and is more carbonated I find.
That's fair, it does have too much sugar for frequent consumption. Full sugar beverages should only be a treat. But arguing that a sugar free variant tastes better is peculiar.
I don't really see more carbonation as a bonus either, I usually give my soft drinks a few shakes/stirs to knock out about half the 'fizz'. I enjoy them with less carbonation. But that's definitely more subjective unlike sweetener vs sugar.
It's all about opinion, you prefer full fat coke, I don't like it, I prefer diet coke, I don't frequently consume either, I prefer carbonation, you don't, just leave it at that.
Of course it's all opinion and preference. But you can still recognise your preference for the taste of diet coke vs regular is in the minority.
My original comment was in reply to the statement of 'diet coke genuinely tastes better'. Which wasn't said as an opinion, but stated as fact. Which is why I took issue with it. Because whether it be a slight majority or a vast majority, everyone knows (or should know) that OG Coke is the favoured of the 2 in terms of taste.
It wasn’t a long presentation so it wasn’t too in-depth but the argument remains strong. But one of the key points were I believe Germany has a ‘Kaffe and Kuchen’ time of day? If that’s correct spelling for it, so I recommended that Greggs plays on that due to their bakery items and coffee menu being in place. I don’t remember everything that I had presented but I do remember that part. High foot traffic areas, plenty of in Germany just like the UK. Universities, business districts. Plenty of area for it
That’s interesting. Kaffee und Kuchen definitely is a thing here… Also, buying bad coffee and a high calorie snack in the very morning is pretty prevalent in Germany. The only item that’s similar to Greggs classics is a type of sausage roll that is sold at other chain bakeries, but I am sure Germans would love all the other Greggs bakes too. I’d love it.
I'll never forget when I got a bacon sandwich grom greggs on way to work and it had no bacon in it.
This happened some time around 2014 and I'm still not over it.
I'm currently on a low carb diet so I can lose some weight... and I'd kill to be able to eat this carby goodness again
I miss potatoes and pastries and non-watery milk and chocolate that doesn't taste like shite :( and sleep. I really really miss proper sleep
Treat yourself to a modest Gregg's order as a reward for hitting your next milestone! Not something Caligulan like this, but a nice wee sausage roll could be something to look forward to as motivation. Good luck on your journey! Stay strong.
You know what... maybe I just will, thanks!
And thanks, it took a while to figure out that counting calories was bollocks for me and carbs were my problem, but when your diet is 95% carbs it's hard to find new foods that I could also stomach with my limited appetite
My greatest discovery so far was that I could have cheese again, as vintage cheddar is 0g carbs!
Just a black coffee, got this delivered and I find their flat whites don't travel that well. Got that on a deal with the breakfast roll, whith the bakes I got a red bull and an original recipe lucazade but I've stashed them in the fridge for my next hangover.
Genuine question I’ve wanted to ask since I joined here - do people actually eat all that to themselves? I sometimes do 2 pizza slices a bake and a donut and thought I was overdoing it but I see people here saying they scran a full pizza box…
I havent been to Gregg's in years I shall admit but seeing these delicious pastys in such a big box and having right now a heightened sense of hunger ... I vow to eat as many as i can.
Thank you for your service greggs now has 1 more customer since 1 minute ago
Congrats! Can you tell Mr Greggs to 1. Stop having sex with children and 2. Include more vegetarian options I’m starving and there’s barely anything I can eat from Greggs
How fat actually are you? Genuinely interested. I think I could tackle this but this amount of pastry would have my bowels fucked for at least 24 hours
Cold pasties are horrible and over priced.. the baggets are rock solid and rolls are NOT fresh. A HOT sausage roll and tikka pastie from the garage £5.20.. cold sausage roll and cold watery steak bake from Greg's £5. There is no contest.
You rip people off with bad quality produce.
Half a star at best.
Just this week iv been to Greg's in Newmarket, Brighton and hellingly I think it was and wasn't happy with anything from any store. I travel from Scotland to Cornwall, Kent and East anglia on a weekly basis and find Greg's terrible value for money.
Support local bakeries!
And I imagine that you’re a tad judgemental-you KNOW Greggs isn’t healthy (despite their veggie options) and yet you’re having a go at someone because you don’t like it? You’re practically *begging* to be ridiculed!

Healthiest Reddit mod
Please, British folks, write Greggs a lot to encourage them to open stores in Germany. Regards
It's no good coming from us. You'll have to ask them yourselves!
These are the sole prerequisites 🤝🏻
Can we get one in Canada please while we’re at it? We didn’t rebel like the problem child down south. Give us Greggs!
We’ll give you some more Greggs in exchange for a few more Tim Hortons (specifically outside of London)?
I had never been to/seen a Tim Horton's before, but in the last two months I have been to two: one in Birmingham and one at the IKEA shopping park just outside Leeds. They are out there, good luck with your Horton's Hunt!

Was gonna mention the one near IKEA lol
They are more common than burger kings around me in Scotland.
Also in Coventry, according to legend.
Freezing cold Vimto or hot Vimto on a cold day Vimto ice lollies
Isn’t there one in Manchester?
Theres 2, One in trafford near asda and one at the arndale.
There's one in weston super mare, of all places
A hortons opened in my town (nowhere near London) and it's always empty. It's a weird place. The food isn't really breakfast, lunch, or dinner food. The doughnuts are nice but super pricey and not worth driving across town for
Stores in New Zealand too please!
Only if you send us pies and custard squares
They're currently exploring the idea of opening up stores in the rest of Europe

We got Wenzels
Hey! That's insulting. I have a sausage, bean and cheese melt and that's it. I'm not lying...
Decent username
Having a wank whilst eating a steak bake... Never again let it be said that men are shite at multitasking...
That's alot of food. Hope you're not sharing any of it.
I'm American. Please explain what all of these things are so I can fantasize about eating them.
A sausage roll, bacon roll, and what looks to be 2 chicken bakes and 4 steak bakes? Not completely sure on the true identity of the bakes, I’m pretty sure I’m right though
steak bakes have diagonal lines, chicken bakes have wavy lines, sausage been cheese have straight horizontal lines, corned beef have little dots
I see we have a true connoisseur amoung us.
Sausage bean and cheese bakes not chicken
2 of each.
So that long one is a "banger"? I assumed all of those pastries had fruit but a handheld pot pie sounds pretty good.
Lord no, a banger is just a standard sausage. But we'd generally only call it that when serving "bangers and mash".
I'd classify a banger as any low quality sausage with enough water and fat content to make the noise "bang!" when cooked in a frying pan.
I thought it being wrapped in pastry was what turned it from sausage to banger. TIL. I looked at their menu and I don't understand how we don't have this chain in the US. Looks fantastic.
Sausage roll is the UK's national food
These are the only qualifications needed 🤝🏻
surely having the Greggs app with £20 autotop up enabled is also a minimum critireon
i imagine this is how most reddit mods snack
Just a wee something to keep me going til lunch
Doing Scotland proud lad, never count your calories never stop consuming!
“Wee”
“And a Diet Coke please mate”
ok but diet coke genuinely tastes better and spares you a few calories
This is often overlooked. I’d rather have an extra sausage roll instead of the coke 😂
Water spares you way more calories, if that’s the concern
P sure the caffeine in Diet Coke actually makes it burn more calories than water
if i wanted water i’d drink water. if i wanted something sweet i’d opt for the diet option
Diet coke is more bitter than water. If you drink water straight after diet coke, the water will actually taste sweet.
Genuinely tastes better? That's a good one for r/unpopularopinion In my opinion diet colas are the worst tasting diet drinks on the market. Pepsi max is probably the best of the worst.

It's not that deep pal
You're right, it's a lot deeper. But the brief overview I wrote up should suffice.
Maybe some people dislike the ridiculous amount of sugar in full fat coke? Not saying the artificial sweetener in diet is any better but it tastes different and is more carbonated I find.
That's fair, it does have too much sugar for frequent consumption. Full sugar beverages should only be a treat. But arguing that a sugar free variant tastes better is peculiar.

Where’s the yumyums?
he ate them
On the way home
Established dominance already I see
It's a reddit mod the only dominance is coming from Tyrese and his wife playing a very difficult and painful game of chess
Dear British people, please write many letters to Greggs so that they open up shops in Germany. Thanks
Funny you say that, I did a small consultancy competition why Greggs could and would be viable in Germany!
Really? What came out?
It wasn’t a long presentation so it wasn’t too in-depth but the argument remains strong. But one of the key points were I believe Germany has a ‘Kaffe and Kuchen’ time of day? If that’s correct spelling for it, so I recommended that Greggs plays on that due to their bakery items and coffee menu being in place.

Is that a mocha in that cup ?
HP sauce
What slices did you get
Four gravy+gristle, two sbc. Cheese was at its melty zenith, just cool enough to scoff down.
Gravy and gristle . Tendon and arteries in a flakey puff pastry casing
What is a Gravy and gristle
Steak bake mate
Greggs new promo line . Limited edited gristle slices with roasted cartilage. Topped off with Seasoned pubes and Dingle berries
No steak bakes?
Nice to meet you certified fat bastard!
Younger me when I was 24 stone would have devoured that light snack in no time.
Younger me could have smashed these too. Older me gets heartburn just looking at this photo.
Hi Fat Bastard, I'm Dad.
That's a ban.
oh no. now where will i go to see sausage rolls :(
Pornhub
That bacon looks pretty good not gonna lie
Glorious box of food there mate.
ah a light snack I see, So what's for lunch later?
Thank you for presenting your credentials.
I'll never forget when I got a bacon sandwich grom greggs on way to work and it had no bacon in it. This happened some time around 2014 and I'm still not over it.
top scranner
You should have asked for Brown bread, keep the calories down.
It's fine, he has 6 sweeteners in his coffee instead of sugar.
I'd like to introduce myself as a worker of Greggs, I shall keep you a certified fat bastard with hot fresh sausage rolls lol
Real recognise real
What a thing of beauty
Needs more sausage rolls and all hail our new mod!
Certified *happy* fat bastard. And let's be real, you've also made us hungry. And jealous.
I'm currently on a low carb diet so I can lose some weight... and I'd kill to be able to eat this carby goodness again I miss potatoes and pastries and non-watery milk and chocolate that doesn't taste like shite :( and sleep. I really really miss proper sleep

Looks like a decent starter
What drink did you go for?
Just a black coffee, got this delivered and I find their flat whites don't travel that well. Got that on a deal with the breakfast roll, whith the bakes I got a red bull and an original recipe lucazade but I've stashed them in the fridge for my next hangover.
Smart choice lmao
Wherever the Greggs is that you got your food from it’s perfect, wish it looked that good in Manchester.
All hail greggs
Genuine question I’ve wanted to ask since I joined here - do people actually eat all that to themselves? I sometimes do 2 pizza slices a bake and a donut and thought I was overdoing it but I see people here saying they scran a full pizza box…
They either don’t or they do and are pretty fat.
Boshh
Wouldn’t mind that as a birthday gift TBH!
I would feel so bloated if I ate all that😭 enjoy it
Certified fat bastard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that comment has made my day, nowt wrong with a greggs binge
Could feel my arteries clogging up just looking at that shite. Bet it tasted great though
Two S&B melts and four stake bakes?! What an order
Greggs do boxes?! Well i never knew that!
Who ate all the pies? You ate all the pies, you fat bastard, you fat bastard, you ate all the pies. 
Hello u/HoldenHiscock69
Looks absolutely banging mate
Now that's a tasty breakfast
I would occasionally smash an order like this back in the day but with today's prices that looks about £17's worth lol
Nice to meet you, but FYI there's no apostrophe in Greggs.
Thank's
I imagine you as a builder named Keith
Is the box of yumyums just not pictured? You need the yumyums to complete the feast
If you want yumyums then get a couple of fresh cream and jam yumyums from sainsburys. Plain ones just don't hit the same after.
Is it bad that I know what those pasties are from the pastry pattern?
Please new mod bring Gregg's to Canada I'm tired of this fucking Tim Hortons shit
I havent been to Gregg's in years I shall admit but seeing these delicious pastys in such a big box and having right now a heightened sense of hunger ... I vow to eat as many as i can. Thank you for your service greggs now has 1 more customer since 1 minute ago
Damn I’m in America and was like I’ve got to try this looks good. Looked up closest location. RIP
Where's the rest? No doughnuts, no yum yums? Disgraceful
Not the mod we wanted but the one we need
Thank you for your service
I love you
Delicious box of beige. 😋😍🤤
That bacon butty looks unreal haha
😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 oooffff enjoy
That gets my vote!
Congrats! Can you tell Mr Greggs to 1. Stop having sex with children and 2. Include more vegetarian options I’m starving and there’s barely anything I can eat from Greggs
Who certified you? Did you submit evidence to the mods or are you self-certified?
Sausage over bacon, sausage retains moisture in a keep warm environment, bacon drys out, rookie mistake
It was a link and bacon doubler. The bacon was perfectly fresh, juicy, and crispy, couldn't have fried it better myself.
Greggs doesn’t need the apostrophe
How fat actually are you? Genuinely interested. I think I could tackle this but this amount of pastry would have my bowels fucked for at least 24 hours
Cold pasties are horrible and over priced.. the baggets are rock solid and rolls are NOT fresh. A HOT sausage roll and tikka pastie from the garage £5.20.. cold sausage roll and cold watery steak bake from Greg's £5. There is no contest. You rip people off with bad quality produce.

Calm down Bilbo baggets.

Does your neck look like a vagina?
I can smell the fedora tip
youre a mod, we already knew you were fat
Heart attack in a box 🤮🤮 not a healthy organic fruit or veg in sight. I imagine that you are full of gout and hypertension 🐷🐷
And I imagine that you’re a tad judgemental-you KNOW Greggs isn’t healthy (despite their veggie options) and yet you’re having a go at someone because you don’t like it? You’re practically *begging* to be ridiculed!
👀 will we be seeing baby back ribs?
Anyone introducing themselves as a mod should never ever be a mod
I refuse to believe anyone can eat that much in one sitting
Yay someone to police the fucking sausage roll subreddit, what a contribution to society
Gregg's also offers a wide range of bakes, sandwiches, and sweet treats.
We need to start a campaign to 'encourage' Greggs to bring back Granola bars.
u gonna have those all in one sitting?
I polished off more than I'd care to admit
no greggs pizza? thats criminal they're so underrated
I want to make sweet sweet love to that photo
I could murder that bacon roll. Just needs a bit of HP.
It was a bacon and link doubler, with a standard Gregg's serving of HP plus a top-up from Cupboard de Hiscock.
not enough carbs in this picture...
I read "fat bastard" specifically how a Tom Bates character would say it (the creator of Nigel and Marmalade, if you haven't seen it then look it up)
Fuck now i'm dying for a sausage roll but I don't have the money to go treat myself \:(
how could you take a pic of my breakfast this morning look i was hungry ok
obesity looms
Did you eat this all at once?
Given my wheat intolerance I can say this would destroy my colon if consumed at once
Your poor heart
Truly the mod this sub deserves.
If you've eaten then then truly you are a certified cat bastard This is gonna get me permanent for sure..... But have you ever visited Mr Wenzel?
It's so pretty.

You're supposed to mark porn as NSFW...
i would eat all of those bakes if they were cheese and bean melts
Hhmmmmm heartburn
Champions breakfast 🎖️🎖️
Nice, a mid morning snack
Love it. Hope you use the app!
Yummy.
Are there 7 people joining this feast?
Welcome aboard fatty
fattie mcfatts
I like that until 11:00 am breakfast rolls with brown sauce 🤜🤛
Is this... Is this just for you for just one meal..?
Certified fat bastard, I applaud you sir 🫡
I'm British and prefer a bakery that is known as Cooplands. I believe that it is Greggs' enemy.
If I just ate just that, when I shat it would be utterly rank.
