I’m just going say this, what’s shown in the illustration is clearly NOT a pasty.<p>Pasties are pretty serious grub.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pasty" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pasty</a>

Bizarre, but welcome, to see this article wholly unrelated to hackerdom on the front page.<p>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.<p>As a scouser I choose Greggs over Sayers any day.

Whyyy haven&#x27;t sausage rolls taken off in the US?<p>Traveling to the UK and Australia, I love them. So satisfying.<p>Why do we get stuck with... gas station hotdogs instead?<p>I genuinely don&#x27;t get it.
