JKD Posted July 3, 2024 Report Share Posted July 3, 2024 😆🤣 No offence, but that looks like a great cafe dinner ! I use a cafe in Orpington, and they dish up meals like that and the place is packed late mornings to lunchtime 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted July 3, 2024 Report Share Posted July 3, 2024 Is the 'dead pig' sausage meat? When I make sausage rolls (which I do most shoot days) I spice up the sausage meat a bit with Worcestershire sauce, mace, sage, onion powder etc. Mace (not too much) goes well in sausages.

Ready made puff pastry, ready made sausage meat with a few extra breadcrumbs, some seasoning and a pinch or two of herbs and spices and I add a smear of English mustard before rolling the pastry over. Egg wash/glaze. Bake in oven around 30 minutes. A pound of sausage meat and a pack of ready made puff pastry makes 24 small rolls, or 8 'jumbo' sized rolls.

That sound fairly easy to achieve a decent sausage roll , we would have to do the 24 small ones as 8 jumbo ones would cause a riot , we used to have a lot of continental teams come over for the Partridge shoots and they brought there own eleven's , this would mainly be salami and German sausages , oh and not forgetting the bottles of wine , I would try the bits and pieces but I can't say anything was to my liking .

Robden Posted July 4, 2024 Report Share Posted July 4, 2024 I find puff pastry rolls, nice but too greasy. My go to recipe is, short crust pastry, 60% sausage meat and 40% sage and onion stuffing. Before you knock it, just try a couple the next time you make some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
