This here Greggs vegan roll has been around for a while and I’ve been meaning to try one, to see what all the fuss is about. So is it a load of tasteless junk food or actually quite nice?

Home made pizza!
While I quite like a nice pizza, I have come to loathe the supermarket pizzas with their overpriced, soggy cardboard structure and dubious toppings. Being a frugal kind of bloke, I won’t buy a pizza in any of the dodgy looking pizza places in town either. No other options left apart from home made pizza! Continue reading “Home made pizza!”
