In a shocking turn of events, Tesco's humble 28p sausage roll has dethroned Greggs' beloved pastry in a blind taste test, leaving budget-conscious foodies buzzing with excitement.
The Underdog Triumphs
When put to the test against Greggs' £1.20 offering, Tesco's budget-friendly version emerged as the surprise winner. Participants praised its flaky pastry and well-seasoned filling, with many unable to believe the quality matched its rock-bottom price.
What Makes It Special?
- Perfect pastry: Crisp exterior with light, buttery layers
- Generous filling: Well-balanced meaty flavour with subtle seasoning
- Value champion: At 28p, it's less than a quarter of Greggs' price
Shopper Reactions
"I'd have bet money it was the more expensive one," confessed one astonished taster. Others noted how the Tesco version maintained its texture better when eaten cold – a common complaint with some premium sausage rolls.
The Budget Meal Game-Changer
With food prices soaring, this supermarket steal offers hope for cash-strapped families. Nutritionally, it holds its own too, with similar protein content to its pricier rival. Food experts suggest the win demonstrates how supermarket own-brands are upping their game in the quality stakes.
Will this spark a sausage roll price war? For now, savvy shoppers are just enjoying getting gourmet taste on a shoestring budget.
