Isabelle Kube, a 29-year-old woman from London who relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark, in search of a better life, has shared her unique way of keeping a taste of home alive. She regularly brings back packs of Greggs sausage rolls from the UK to store in her freezer in Denmark.
“In the UK, you just miss those classic comforts like a good Greggs, a chippy, or a proper jacket potato. These are things you can’t easily find elsewhere,” Isabelle expressed. Currently, she has 24 sausage rolls in her freezer, equivalent to 6 packets of the 4 for 3 offer.
Despite living in a city renowned for its culinary scene, Isabelle finds that the Danish version of a sausage roll, known as a ‘pølsehorn,’ doesn’t compare to Greggs in any way. So, she ensures a steady supply by restocking her freezer during each visit home, even carrying Greggs sausage rolls in her hand luggage for the 610-mile journey back to Copenhagen. She also indulges in M&S hot cross buns on these trips.
While Isabelle’s Danish boyfriend and friends have enjoyed the freezer stash, she has jokingly prohibited her boyfriend from touching them, reserving them for moments of homesickness or intense cravings. Her friends eagerly anticipate her visits with a freshly reheated Greggs sausage roll, paired with HP sauce and ketchup for the full experience.
After sharing a video of her freezer online, Isabelle received a lot of attention, including a response from Greggs themselves, who likened her stash to discovering treasure. Comments poured in, with one person expressing surprise at not thinking of the idea themselves and another suggesting she stock up even more by visiting Greggs outlets.
Isabelle’s unique freezer collection has sparked intrigue and admiration online, with one person humorously imagining her navigating airport security with a suitcase full of sausage rolls. The unconventional approach has garnered a mix of astonishment and amusement from onlookers.
