Would you be able to distinguish between a Greggs steak or chicken bake without taking a bite? If the answer is no - then, you're not alone.
Most of us are normally so eager to sink our teeth into one of the UK's favourite pastry treats that we have never noticed the markings that help staff identify one product from another. But a Greggs employee has taken to social media to shed light on what the pattern on the outside tells you about the ingredients on the inside, reports the Daily Record.
In a post on the Causal UK Reddit forum, they wrote: "I work in Greggs. What would you like to know?"
It didn't take long for people to jump on the invitation with 2,000 replies racked up within 20 hours. The most popular question, which attracted 572 upvotes, asked: "Can you tell us the pattern on the pastry that identifies whether it’s a steak bake, chicken bake, vegetable bake, etc. Thanks."
And, if you're just as curious, then here is the answer the Greggs worker gave:
- Diagonal: steak
- Wavy horizontal: chicken
- V shape: cheese & onion
- Straight horizontal: sausage & beans
Other people pleaded for the return of discontinued items such as the barbecue chicken and bacon toastie and the steak and stilton sausage roll, even though the bakery chain's member of staff insisted they were powerless in that respect. "I need you to bring them back. I believe in you," begged one user.
Another argued: "Well then they'll just need to recontinue them, won't they?! Can you be our person on the inside and help us make it happen?"
