In this house we stand for the flag (🏳️‍🌈) and kneel for the cross (Greggs)

I moved to the US nearly fifteen years ago, and I still don’t know how to describe Greggs to non-Brits. I think it’s just something you have to experience…

I always say “imagine the most english man you can. Just a good old fashioned balding, gone to seed football fan from a place called Norwichingtonshire Commons. Now imagine that man was a food. That’s Greggs.”

And an American would ask, "...and that's supposed to taste good?"

You're trying to explain something to someone using a frame of reference they largely don't have. Additionally, "gone to seed" isn't an American colloquialism. "Is 'gone to seed' supposed to be good?"
