Greggs are launching their own version of the ‘cronut’, the croissant-doughnut hybrid that took New York's bakers and bellies by storm. The soft buttery treat that melts upon the tongue in sweet pastry flakes has already crossed the pond to one London establishment, with Rinkoff Bakery in London sellling a version of the Cronut - called the CroDough. Now Greggs are keen to get in on the pastry portmanteau, with the not so delicately named ‘Greggsnut’. For £1, Londoners will be able to purchase the ‘Greggsnut’ in two flavours, summer berry & crème and caramel and pecan.
Greggs are keen that their upmarket creation will be similarly received, describing the launch as "the most exciting thing since the birth of the sausage roll."

What is sad about this is it's bound to be a big seller

Hi Anne
ReplyDeleteSadly I'm pretty much 100% sure you're right and if ever there was an alternative to Lucozade for an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test then this abomination would be it.

But folks they are full of healthy berries and nuts and cream......
ReplyDeleteI know - ridiculous - but I find that so often people will point to the least toxic ingredient and ask, "What's wrong with that"? "You said I could eat-whatever", as if it were possible to separate the mini-bite, which is not toxic, from all the rest.
I have food allergies too and I get the same reaction. Those dietitians who have nothing better to do than to badmouth lowcarbing might care to comment on these things.
Just a tiny bit of cyanide - push it to the side of your plate.

We could definitely do without this type of 'cake' sugar bun, obesity on a plate or whatever you'd like to call it.
ReplyDeleteWill it replace the 'thank goodness it's Friday' cream cake so beloved of offices. I think it may.Where will it all end?

After spending almost 6 years LCarbing , I even don't find pastries like that tempting, my brain stopped registering it as a food. Looking at images of fruits makes the amount of the saliva in my mouth increased , but not pastries and cakes.
