This woman who loves Greggs vegan sausage roll so much she wants to visit every store is all of us

One time I was sick and could barely manage to eat anything but then someone bought me a Greggs vegan sausage roll and I was suddenly better – a true story.

While the ever-popular baked good probably doesnt have healing powers, it is loved by meat-eaters alike and now vegans too.

One woman so in love with the pastry has decided to buy one from every Greggs store in the U.K – thats 1,764 bakeries.

Mairead Sheehan fell in love with the non-meat based treats when they were launched by the bakery chain earlier this year.

The 26-year-old vegetarian started her binge in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne where she couldnt believe how many branches were on every street,

And after snapping pictures with her favourite snack outside every store, she realised her pals found it hilarious – and even set up an Instagram page to post the evidence.

Now, Mairead has become quite the poster girl for the Greggs vegan sausage roll.

I started posting the pictures on Instagram and my friends thought it was hilarious – then strangers started commenting, said Mairead.

Ive been to more than 50 stores so far, but Im planning to add a lot more to my total by visiting some big cities and going on multiple Greggs visits in one day.

Maired has been vegetarian her whole life and has never tasted meat as her parents are also vegetarian. She then choose to continue the meat-free diet.

When Greggs brought out the Vegan Sausage roll I was in heaven, she added.

There are all sorts of places that do vegetarian junk food but for me its always been a novelty – my friends were getting a sausage roll when hungover and I couldnt do that.

I was always quite jealous because its so quick and easy and its only £1- being a vegetarian is so much more expensive, you have to find alternatives and different places to eat.

I remember going on holiday and having to eat only nachos and pizza for two weeks.

Her go-to combo at the bakery is a sausage roll and cloudy lemonade.

Mairead was visiting Newcastle for the weekend in September last year, when she realised she was in the Greggs capital.
