Greggs has apologised for putting a sausage roll in a nativity scene as part of its publicity for a new advent calendar.
The sausage roll took the place of baby Jesus in the festive scene After the image appeared online, Beth Rosenberg tweeted: Out of interest do you think the people at Greggs understand that Jesus was Jewish and serving up a pork sausage roll in the manger is unbelievably inappropriate? While James Mather said: Im no prude, but equating Jesus, a Jew, to a sausage roll really is deeply offensive on all sorts of levels. And it seems their cries of outrage have been heard, with the company based in the North-East apologising for the ad. Were really sorry to have caused any offence, this was never our intention, a spokesperson told the Northern Echo. Not everyone shared in the outrage, with food writer Jay Rayner tweeting: This is appalling this is outrageous as a Jew I strongly ooh, Greggs sausage roll. Each door on the Greggs advent calendar reveals a tear-off token that can be taken into Greggs shops and exchanged for items from the Christmas and wider menu, including the Festive Bake, flavoured lattes, sweet mince pie and a sausage roll. On Christmas Eve, a 5 gift card sits behind door 24. Other shots promoting the calendar included a Father Christmas with pasty flakes on his beard, a Greggs shop in a snow globe and a steak bake on a festive table.

It just seems like one of those things that someone should've stopped pretty soon after it was suggested. I don't know what a Gregg's is but generally most companies don't want to just needlessly offend a big chunk of possible customers.

ffs, christians will whine about anything When you replace a sacred figure with an inanimate object, yeah, that's something that rubs members of a faith the wrong way. The closest thing I could compare it to would be a photo from the I Have a Dream speech which shows people congregating around a salami instead of Dr. King. And before you pull the "one is fictional" line, Jesus is recognized by most to be a historical figure and was a direct influence for many of the views of the reverend-doctor. ...

Callixtus posted...So Jews are getting offended by nativity scenes not being portrayed properly now? It's not sacred from what I've heard. It just isn't consumed. This stems from epidemics of parasitic infection from pork (that likely wasn't being cooked properly) in that region in ancient times. Pigs were considered unclean because of people getting sick, so they stopped eating pork and both religions banned it. Different from cows/beef in India. --- Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/ ... Copied to Clipboard!
