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

Pasties are pretty serious grub.

Important not to confuse it with the Pastie, used to cover nipples

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.


If you start a business do pork pies too.

And Scotch eggs

And Jellied eel, why not?

Pork pies and scotch eggs are widely-available savoury snacks in the UK, but jellied eels are not?

Had to look up what was in the article and it's more like something you'd find at a donut shop in the US, but not quite the same. Things like the klobasnek/kolache are popular here in Texas.

Cannot make the DFW<->AUS run without a Czech Stop
