Sausage Roll

Americans really cannot do sausages. I can just about stomach one of their hot dogs so long as it smothered in onions and relish to give it some kind of taste, The ones they serve up at breakfast tend to be fairly shriveled up and disgusting – they always seem to be made from beef and never have a proper sausage skin. I think they know they are shite as they call them links instead of sausages. I have found a great little British store called Myers of Keswick in NYC which does proper Cumberland sausage rolls (and Scotch eggs) – at 4 bucks a pop they aren’t cheap but well worth it when you need reminding of good old Blighty.

Your post reminded me of something I'd read earlier this week. Jimmy Wales, of Wikipedia thinks British bacon is rubbish compared to American bacon...

"The bulk of bacon in the UK is "back bacon" versus what they call in the UK "streaky bacon". It's basically very very difficult to get good bacon in the UK and the strange thing is that people in the UK don't even seem to realize it."

Tried Silo sausage rolls earlier in the year - both my boy and I were sick afterwards.

More recently, the best sausage roll I have had came from The Pantry in South Farm Road, Worthing. Really rich pastry and good meat content. £2.20 a go but very filling.

Are you still at County Hall? The sausage rolls (and Scotch Eggs) from Richards Butchers are immense.

Poor man's Scotch Egg.

Scotch Egg is one way to ruin an egg.

Hot ones maybe, but the Poms also buy packets of them cold from supermarkets.

Haven't you ever been to Coles or Safeway and bought frozen sausage rolls?

Staple diet of kids parties and tradies lunches lol

The ones at the Amex earlier in the season were fantastic, they don't seem to have been selling them in the North recently though.

Agreed, Piglets are so hit and miss now

Something to be said for this I think, I have to admit that the grerat majority of bacon bought in this country has a lot of water added to it, hence all that vile white coloured liquid that emanantes from it when u fry it, and the fact that the rashers shrivel to less than half of their original size.

The only way to be sure of avoiding this it seems to me, is to avoid the supermarket, and pay a bit more for your bacon from the butcher or a farm shop.

Not for many years now. I had a sausage roll from Richards last year and thought they had changed the pastry as it wasn't as good as I remembered.

As for Scotch Eggs, I've still not found anyone who makes them as well as the now defunct Picnic Corner did. Those runny duck egg based, baked not fried Scotch Eggs were the best around but unfortunately Paul had to give up the business and get a proper job.
