My partner (who is from Newcastle) has never had a sausage roll…Is this grounds for a divorce?

[-]

FatBloke4@reddit

I really think he needs to try some sausage rolls or emigrate. He could be given a temporary reprieve if he has eaten Cornish pasties.

[-]

usernamefailagain@reddit

Sounds like extremely poor judgement on your part in the first place

[-]

Shitelark@reddit

Very sus. Ask him if he 'fancies a Stottie?'

[-]

Serious_Sympathy_269@reddit

I do actually find it weird that they’ve never even stumbled upon a sausage roll.

Even at a most basic level, I remember almost every birthday party having a beige spread that included cheap sausage rolls, and that’s before I even left primary school.

[-]

I didn't eat a sausage roll until I was about 25. I tried the cold buffet mini ones as a kid and didn't like them, so just assumed for the next 15 years or so that I didn't like sausage rolls. Then I tried a fresh, hot one and my life massively improved

[-]

Diligent-Sherbet2587@reddit

They taste so much better when they are hot out of the oven. I've had some hot from the oven, then some from the same group that had cooled (not as good), but when red-heated they tasted great again.

[-]

Serious_Sympathy_269@reddit

Haha, massively improved is questionable. My love of baked goods will probably be what kills me. I try and outrun the bad diet, but it's futile.

[-]

Particular_Oil3314@reddit

The most likely explination is that he is a French spy.

[-]

BigRed1706@reddit

Hang him!

[-]

Particular_Oil3314@reddit

I think there is, sadly, no other option.

[-]

Particular_Oil3314@reddit

The comment has been deleted for the appropriated next step but was deleted.

Which suggest the French have infiltrated the mods team. I will not repeat what the post said.

On a side issue, meat is hung and criminals are hanged.

[-]

N7twitch@reddit

Those cheap sausage rolls are actually banging. I like them overcooked and stone cold. Delicious.

[-]

Bunister@reddit

Overcooked, stone cold and smothered in brown sauce.

[-]

vminnear@reddit

They are delightful. I like them molten just out of the oven.

[-]

Intelligent-SoupGS88@reddit

The beige birthday platter was the best thing as a kid! Could totally go for some of those sausage rolls right now

[-]

FidelityBob@reddit

Sure he's from Newcastle? "Sitting in a sleazy snack bar sucking sickly sausage rolls... the fog on the Tyne is all mine"

[-]

TWOITC@reddit

they are from Newcastle home of Greggs, definitely suspicious.

[-]

Zealousideal-Ad-2728@reddit

There’s a Greggs Outlet in Newcastle as well

[-]

delqhic@reddit

There’s one down the road from me in Manchester too.

[-]

blueskybel@reddit

I live in Newcastle and never knew about this outlet until now, but I commend it highly. More shops need to do this

[-]

valkyrie8118@reddit

I’m in Newcastle in 2 weeks - this has hit the top of my list for me to find

[-]

DaisyRedado@reddit

Shut the front door that's mint!

[-]

Djinjja-Ninja@reddit

They also have all nighter Greggs.

There's at least 2 tthat open at 5am and shut at 4am..

[-]

DaisyRedado@reddit

Haha that's awesome

[-]

Jasboh@reddit

They have bouncers too, tactical Greggs when you switch bars is a revelation

[-]

Environmental_Foot54@reddit

“Tactical Greggs”. 😂 what a beautiful thing.

I used to know a guy who used the term “tactical chunder” if things were getting rough on a night out. That was decidedly less beautiful obviously.

[-]

dajay2k@reddit

Tactical chunders are an important part of adolescence

[-]

vms-crot@reddit

It used to be called bargain greggs. You could go in with a £1 and get a weeks worth of sausage rolls and pasties. It's a bit more expensive now, probably because it got really popular.

[-]

mhoulden@reddit

Greggs took over Thurston's in Leeds. Long before Greggs outlets there were Thurston's second shops. This is one from 2008 that was rebranded:

I think Ainsley's had a second shop in Leeds market as well.

[-]

KerryKinkajou@reddit

There's a Greggs Outlet in Leeds, too. They sell bags of caramel shortbread offcuts for about 90p, dangerous stuff

[-]

DavidW273@reddit

I have one of these along the road from me. If I'm headed out for the day, I'll often pick up my sarnies from here.

[-]

desertdodo123@reddit

whereabouts is the outlet?

[-]

GreyingJackdaw@reddit

As well as Westgate Road there are also outlets in Howdon and Welbeck Road in Walker/Byker

[-]

DrakeManley@reddit

And also one in Low Fell

[-]

Zealousideal-Sail893@reddit

Also Tynemouth Road, Wallsend.

[-]

Zealousideal-Ad-2728@reddit

Go get those deals!

[-]

Acciocomments@reddit

Sounds like bollocks there’s practically more Greggs than people in Newcastle. Ok, on checking, there’s 12. Which is still excessive!

[-]

Comfortable-mouse05@reddit

Why wouldn't you ask if if she'd like to try one and get her a good one? Be a good partner

[-]

HalfAgony-HalfHope@reddit

How do you avoid them over a lifetime?

Never went to a kids party and got given one? Never tried one at a family party? Or as part of a beige buffet at Christmas?

Are they super posh? (Don posh people eat sausage rolls?l

[-]

geoffs3310@reddit

He's a pathological liar or has Alzheimer's but either way he's definitely had a sausage roll

[-]

Time-Caterpillar4103@reddit

I’ve never eaten what most people class as sausage rolls. Had the vegetarian equivalent and always pick one up when I’m walking passed a Greggs.

[-]

iMightBeEric@reddit

You didn’t check before you got married?

Are your parents rich?
Have you got Herpes?
Any outstanding warrants against you?
Have you ever eaten a sausage roll?

Amateur.

[-]

Bunister@reddit

True story: my sister got married and then mentioned starting a family, only for her husband to reply that he didn't ever want kids....

[-]

AnxiousTerminator@reddit

I'll never understand how people make it past marriage without these things coming up. For me it's pre-date topics. I don't bother going on the first date if there's such fundamental incompatability.

[-]

borokish@reddit

Most Geordies are given sausage rolls instead of dummies.....

[-]

scimscam@reddit

They’re quite possibly a Russian spy. I can’t see any other explanation.

[-]

Bunister@reddit

"Aliens"

[-]

scimscam@reddit

Even aliens would have seen the hubbub and popularity of Greggs and sample it for research.

[-]

Boroboy72@reddit

He's clearly a pod-person.

[-]

Mission-Pear-6206@reddit

I'm muslim, dont eat pork....and even I've had my fair share of Greggs vegan sausage rolls!!

[-]

ProfessorYaffle1@reddit

Only grounds for dicovorce ifthey try to stop you accessing sausage rolls, in my view.

But clearly you need to buy them a saususage roll so they can see if they like them!

I don't think Iever had a big, greggs style sausage roll until I was well into adulthood, only mini ones serves at parties

[-]

Gallusbizzim@reddit

I think you're shagging an alien, contact the govt.

[-]

esn111@reddit

No. Only pity.

You know whats appearing in their lunch box tomorrow....

[-]

PhallisLapin@reddit (OP)

I’ve said we’re going to Greggs before work tomorrow.

[-]

EpexSpex@reddit

Be careful. A breakfast sausage roll can go one of two ways.

He either likes it and it becomes a thing or he hates it because its to early in the morning to be having a sausage roll.

[-]

MadJen1979@reddit

It's never too early to have a sausage roll!

[-]

Ancient-Forever5603@reddit

I feel its something that needs thorough and ongoing testing...

[-]

EpexSpex@reddit

well considering different types of sausage. For example. A sausage roll made out a Cumberland sausage, now this could be a hit.

[-]

Ancient-Forever5603@reddit

Apple and pork - makes a lovely sausage roll

[-]

EpexSpex@reddit

Where would i find such an item. Marks n Sparks ?

[-]

Ancient-Forever5603@reddit

If only - they got rid of those years ago. I make my own now as the sausages are much easier to find.

[-]

Wise-Field-7353@reddit

I also haven't, and am also a Geordie. They seem really unappealing, and I'm veggie, so...

[-]

sunheadeddeity@reddit

They're doing a bit. Somewhere on social media they're posting "totally convinced my partner that I've never had a sausage roll lol".

[-]

Gullible_Wind_3777@reddit

Divorce? No. Go and let him one to try? Yes! 👍🏼

[-]

ampattenden@reddit

Is this like that Reddit story where the guy randomly decided to pretend to his in-laws that he’d never had a potato before?

[-]

PhallisLapin@reddit (OP)

Oh I wish.

[-]

luckeratron@reddit

Newcastle is the first place I tried Greggs, it felt like every street had one.

Do they come from a vegetarian family?

[-]

PhallisLapin@reddit (OP)

Nope, they are a fussy eater but a sausage roll?!! They have been to a Greggs which is the weird part.

[-]

Dexav@reddit

Had my first sausage roll from Greggs aged 30. I'd been living in the North-East for 5 years by that point.

[-]

Afinkawan@reddit

Existing, not living.

[-]

smasherfierce@reddit

Grounds for banishment, that is

[-]

Afinkawan@reddit

Only if they refuse to rectify the situation.

[-]

Any-Class-2673@reddit

I could understand if they've never had a greggs sausage roll (still weird but plausible).

But to have never had any sausage roll???? That should only be true for infants!

[-]

JBEqualizer@reddit

I could understand if they've never had a greggs sausage roll

If they lived anywhere else in the country, I could maybe understand not having had a Greggs sausage roll, but they're everywhere in the NE.

[-]

VictoriaRose1618@reddit

Is he maybe in a witness protection program and actually from space or something

[-]

Shawn_The_Sheep777@reddit

I thought Newcastle was the Greggs capital of the world?

[-]

Thegemofgems@reddit

Never??? Surely not? Divorce is the only answer

[-]

ImFamousYoghurt@reddit

I didn’t have one until I was 24. Though I haven’t eaten meant since I was 4 and meat substitutes didn’t interest me until I was 24. I am from the south, being from Newcastle makes it seem more impossible.

[-]

TicTac_in_my_ear@reddit

I think it's grounds for concern. Divorce only if they've also never had steak bake, cheese and onion and a cheese and bean. To be fair it's unusual to say the least. Sausage roll is a staple up north imo.

[-]

Round_Caregiver2380@reddit

Just take them to the bakers and get them one.

[-]

apocalyptic_brunch@reddit

I’m American and wish we had sausage roll shops here, am surprised your partner never had one before

[-]

ohajik98@reddit

Greggs aren’t even the best sausage rolls from Newcastle!! Dicksons are well clear and it’s not even a debate

[-]

yourmomsajoke@reddit

Typed out a whole long ass comment but it just ended up with me having a realisation I'm a massive sausage roll fan*

Your partners weird how've they not had one ever.

*yes,in both aspects. Fuck off 😂

[-]

PsychologicalNote612@reddit

This makes limited sense, even if they have multiple allergies, or dietary preferences, surely they've had a sausage roll/meat free sausage roll at some point? I'm actually finding it pretty unbelievable. Unless you are about to say they are Jewish/have a religious belief who forbids eating animals, and that they have not lived here for long, which seems unlikely given the bit about Newcastle.

I think it's grounds for divorce, but against you. How long have you been in this committed relationship without making/cooking sausages rolls? And how the heck was this not something you confirmed early on?

[-]

Greg_Danger@reddit

Seeing as you are from north, if their only choice is Greggs, then it sure is a good thing

[-]

In_Jest_we_Trust@reddit

I’ve been working on a cocktail called “Grounds For Divorce” Anyway, have they been living in a cave all this time cos they must be the only one who hasn’t on this rock lol

[-]

milrose404@reddit

I’m a Geordie who has never had a sausage roll. I don’t like most sausage meat, but I’d happily eat 10 pasties in a go

[-]

jinglepupskye@reddit

Found the husband. You’ve never had a sausage roll till you’ve had a Greggs sausage roll. Heathen.

[-]

milrose404@reddit

Genuinely have no desire to eat one!

[-]

Yuzral@reddit

That's surprising, given how ubiquitous sausage rolls are. Presumably they had a deprived childhood and you should fix that at the nearest Greggs in the morning.

[-]

cynical-mage@reddit

You jest, but I didn't experience bacon sandwiches until I was 15 at a mate's house, or a fry up until I'd already moved out. My mother had issues 🤷‍♀️

[-]

Plenty_Suspect_3446@reddit

I had the best sausage roll I’ve ever eaten today, and I’ve eaten many sausage rolls in my time. It was from Kendall’s Farm Butchers in a village in North Yorkshire called Pateley Bridge. It’s a bit of a trek from Newcastle but honestly it’s well worth it.

[-]

BndgMstr@reddit

They have to be fucking with you. I'd have serious questions about their childhood if they were really telling the truth.

[-]

DrakeManley@reddit

There are 20 Greggs stores in Newcastle,

There are 5 within a mile from me and I live in Gateshead.

Without counting all the other places in the North East where you could get sausage roll There is something mot right here.

Divorce him and get yersel a sausage roll eating Geordie lad.

[-]

doihavetousethis@reddit

This is grounds to get him done for treason

[-]

newnortherner21@reddit

Unusual.

There again, some people have never played a game of Mornington Crescent.

[-]

Lorelei_Ravenhill@reddit

Surely you jest?!!

Not even the Lyttelton variation?

Tragic, if true.

[-]

Fast-Drummer5757@reddit

They're lying to you. Geordies use sausage rolls as dummies for their kids and it's an unspoken rule that they must eat at least one a day with lashings of gravy whilst wearing a nufc strip.

[-]

vms-crot@reddit

He's clearly lying.

And if he's lying about that, what's he really hiding?

[-]

prettyvacant511@reddit

Straight to jail

[-]

juliahmusic@reddit

I hope they've at least had a steak bake instead!

[-]

OrdinaryQuestions@reddit

There's a Greggs EVERYWHERE up here. How have they managed to go their life NOT having one??

[-]

Ecstatic_Effective42@reddit

Check if they can bend their little finger, if there's weird communication equipment lying around and if they stare longingly up at the stars on a clear night.

[-]

Lazy_seacucumber@reddit

Now, is this some sort of ploy of his to get you to shower him in sausage rolls. I can tell you now newcastle has a greggs on about every street corner and I cannot believe that at no point did he ever think "Today is the day"

[-]

Judge_Bredd_UK@reddit

Straight to jail

[-]

CoastNo6242@reddit

perplexed

I wasn't expecting that word to come up but when it did my god it felt so good and just right. I'm a very happy person aww fuck no I'm not. Cats just sat on my chest and food is about to arrive. I am a monster.

It's definitely weird, it's very suspicious too. I wouldn't divorce them though, I'd see it as an opportunity to control the narrative on sausage rolls. It's in your hands. You can do this, don't let us down like I'm about to let my poor cat down 😭😭😭😭😭

[-]

HollyGoLately@reddit

What! Not even as a bairn? Look I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.

[-]

dth300@reddit

Was he raised as a hermit?

Sausage rolls are a staple of any buffet or picnic
