Sausage Roll Query

There was me thinking this would be a thread about whether or not sausage rolls are a 'substantial' meal

I’ve been meaning to ask for ages ( nothing to do with sausage rolls) what does Oo Roo mean?

I’ve been meaning to ask for ages ( nothing to do with sausage rolls) what does Oo Roo mean?

Farewell, see you later, adios, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen etc.

In all the time I've spent in Australia, I've never heard anyone say it.

"Catch ya later"

I think it’s an affectation, rather like Leslie Phillips and “ding dong”

Missfoodlove I'm sure you are too young to be suffering "Aphasia', but you must have intended "affection"!

"OoRoo" comes from the bottom of the heart meaning ''till we meet again, my love(s)"! If I was a Celt it would be "Slainte"!
My heart goes out to anyone who hasn't received an OoRoo.

Btw; I think Leslie would have had a blighted career if he'd tried out his "demeaning" ding-dong on GN!
How times have changed!

Sorry, not much help here, I make my own pastry and my own filling for cheesy sausage rolls

Make sure everything is defrosted, leave the pastry to get to room temperature before rolling, not makes it easier. Take the sausage skins are off, make sure pastry is tight against the sausage, when rolling, seal the edge with either milk or egg wash (beaten egg with a little milk mixed in) seal the edges with a fork, this will give a nice finish, also prick the tops with the fork, this will let the steam out whilst cooking. I hope this helps. Good luck, I am sure they will be lovely

Care to share Gwen, please?

Rufus - what does Oo Roo mean?
What are its origins?

The filling is
300g Grated Mature cheddar
150-200 g breadcrumbs
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp finely chopped rosemary
2 shallots very finely chopped
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt
pepper
It suggests sheet puff pastry, I just make short pastry then brush with beaten egg
bake 15 - 20 mins at 200C 180 fan

Yes good advice on sausage rolls from felice- but if theyre veggie ones wouldnt it be best to brush them with an alternative milk like almond or oat instead of egg or cows milk?the vegetarian person eating them might be a 'devout' veggie so object to egg etc.just a suggestion.

Thank you Gwen, I will try that!
Nannan vegetarians eat dairy products and eggs, whereas vegans do not. They also don't eat honey or anything else produced by an animal.

Also its sacrilege (i think) to make mince pies from anything other than shortcrust pastry! (If you're saving calories you can always leave them 'topless' or make star shapes for tops so using less pastry? You could use your own home-made shortcrust using a 'lower fat' marg or a plant butter (flora do a good one now) so making less high fat/high calorie content.(if you do your own mincemeat you can use less sugar too?)

Gwen- the cheesy ones sound great thank you for that!☺

NannanI just prefer puff pastry!
I've never watched a calorie in my life!

Nannan1, to glaze or not to glaze is up to the baker.
I actually said that DGS prefers to use beaten egg.

FannyCornforth Rufus2 did post a bit earlier to explain it.

Jaxjacky I know, I did read it
(I always RTFT, especially my own), but I can't say that I understood it

FannyCornforth, they are delicious, though I use dried parsley!

FannyC much of the Australian language may be incomprehensible!

Rufus may understand if I asked for a VB and a N Queenslander asked "you from down Mexico way?"

A VB goes well with sausage rolls.

(I always RTFT, especially my own), but I can't say that I understood it tchblush

Fanny .C Tut Tut. Language! Please remember that at least one gentleman still remains on GN.
If he's explained what OoRoo means once, he's explained it a dozen times.
Imagine if you can, a fond farewell with a handwave minus rude gestures, but don't fret, it's not important!

Full thread Rufus!
I can't imagine what you were thinking ...

Like 'cheerio' then?

The Chinese/Cantonese food you referred to is actually called Dim Sum, Rufus. Sure you won’t be offended at the correction.
Many jolly Oo Roos coming back to you. Keep safe!

At the risk of telling all Grans what they will already know.....Fireman friends have told me that the best and quickest way to be involved in a house fire over Christmas is to put a batch of sausage rolls or mince pies to quickly heat in the microwave - and then leave the room! The fat content is the problem. So be extra careful, if you’re not already. ?

I often use a simple recipe from Jamie Oliver, which uses chipolata sausages (still in their skins!), sprinkled with crushed fennel seeds and grated parmesan, wrapped in shop bought puff pastry. This works equally well with veggie sausages or the meaty ones, and is really tasty.
