Sausage Roll Query

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

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?)

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.

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.

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

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

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

Care to share Gwen, please?

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

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!

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"

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

When I make veggie sausage rolls I get the pastry to room temperature, roll it out and spread mustard on it. Veggie sausages don't need to be defrosted before cooking as sausage rolls but they are more pliable if at least partly defrosted. If I forget to defrost sausages I just roll them, cut into sausages size rolls and then halve them when cooked.

I was thinking of NQ, BlueSapphire, where they put up stinger nets and I have splashed happily in the sea there with a small DGS - but then a croc was seen swimming along a couple of weeks later.

Ooh, stingers reminds me when we used to live in Darwin (Oz's Northern Territory). We had the most beautiful beaches and a warm blue sea but did not dare set foot in it because of box jelly fish, crocodiles and blue ringed jelly-fish. A walk along the beach had to suffice - torture for our DCs, who were 6 and 10 at the time.

I add half a finely chopped onion and a chopped apple into my sausage meat, plus a crumbled chicken Oxo cube, some chilli flakes and plenty of black pepper. Then I chuck it all in the Kenwood so it gets mixed thoroughly. I always have to taste two (or three) when they come out of the oven just to check.....

As I understand it, Missfoodlove intended the sauce to be for dipping the sausage rolls. She clearly describes cooking the sausage rolls before giving the recipe for the sauce. She's not suggesting mixing the sauce into the sausage meat prior to cooking. Sounds tasty, if you like sausage rolls.

(I did warn you that it was a daft question!)
Here's a daft answer to go with that.
I'd recommend an Aussie "Dim-Sim"
It's a Chinese-inspired finger-food delicacy; looks like a mis shapen meat ball (nothing to do with kangaroos), wrapped in some sort of pastry; often found in chish and fips shops and deep fried. Lovely!

Stingers are sultanas currant etc!

Well I never! Any ideas on the origin of this?

First you'd have to catch a box jellyfish - not recommended!!

We still don't know what the alternative stinger is

Good grief Callistemon!
You don't want a jellyfish in your sausage roll!
It sounds like something that they'd serve in The Argy!
