First, we should probably just answer the question looming on your mind, “What’s a sausage roll?!” Sausage rolls are much as we’ve described them, a pleasantly spiced mixture of sausage, preferably home-made, that is then carefully wrapped in an all-butter puff pastry (which is usually store-bought these days) and baked until delicious.
That’s it, a bundle of sausage in a wrap served up to hungry Brits (And now Yanks!) everywhere.
Sausage Rolls are to Britain what cold chicken is to the America’s, the perfect picnic treat. Sports day? You’ll be having a big plate of these brought out for generalized noshing.
On the run and need a quick bite? Bet your lady packed you a sausage roll in your lunch box. Walking down the street and got a hunger? Bet you’ll be tanking up on a sausage roll (or fish and chips…), these things are everywhere and a standard part of British fair.
In fact, in some ways, it could be argued that sausage rolls are as much a part of British culinary culture as fish and chips or a Sunday roast. There is no doubting their popularity, and this can be seen in the fact that they are available in every supermarket and bakery across the land.
Whether you want mini sausage rolls for a picnic, or you’re grabbing a large one for a mid-afternoon snack, it is important to understand the impact these tasty treats have had on Britain, and further afield as well!
National Sausage Roll Day was first celebrated in 2015.
