Sausage Roll Query

Ooh, I used to buy delicious sausage plait from a bakery in Settle when I was working on a project there. It’s a lovely wee place.

That sausage plait sounds really tasty. I want one for breakfast, now!

Sometimes I make one big Sausage Plait, something I remember making at School during Domestic Science Lessons, and sold by a little village Bakery where we used to stay in Norfolk. The filling is made from Sausage meat, topped with a couple of spoonfuls of Tomato puree, finely diced fresh Onion, Red Pepper, and sliced Mushrooms, finished with a light sprinkle of mixed Italian herbs. The filling goes into the centre of a ready rolled pack of Puff pastry sheet, to form a sausage shape, the sides are then cut to form the strips of the Plait to pull across the filling in turn, hence forming the appearance of the whole thing being Plaited. Brush with Beaten egg and Bake until Golden.

It makes a nice change to an ordinary plain Sausage roll!

I really must drop into the Argy some time!

Blossom ?

^sure you won’t be offended at the correction^
Grandmafrench. Not at all! It's the only way to learn and I bow to your superior knowledge.
But how does a "Sum" differ from a "Sim" when all you can buy at the Chish and Fips shops in Melbourne are the latter?
I'll put it to the test next time I'm in the shop.

Well, that's me being a smart arse...so sorry, Dim Sim is probably all the rage in Australian Chish & Fip shops because it's a Chinese Australian range of foods. Dim Sum, on the other hand, is a Chinese Cantonese range of dumplings and small eats in the UK. So, we're both right. No need for your gracious response to my "superior knowledge". Seems that knowledge is clearly not there, so please don't go into your local shop and put them to the test. ? ?‍♀️

Full thread Rufus!
I can't imagine what you were thinking
Fanny C. You've got me there too!

Yes it's like Cheerio!
Further research tells us that "HooRoo" was a greeting called out to neighbours to attract their attention and then devolved into "OoRoo" on parting company!
An equivalent of your TTFN or "Toodle-pip" when in polite company!
Good Health

One of the vagaries of the Australian language, like calling someone with red hair "Bluey
Callistemon Are you sure? I thought it was more of a Pommie thing because back in Englnd we always had "Chalky" for anyone called White; "Curly" for baldies; "lofty/shorty for the "vertically challenged") ; etc.
I'd reserve "Bluey" for Blue Heeler.

Btw; you're trying to trap me into agreeing that VB (Victoria Bitter for onlookers) is our favourite beer, then claiming it is "Vile Brew"!
I wasn't born yesterday or even the day before!

Last night we made a batch of Chicken rolls for school packed lunches.
We used Chicken mince, finely minced, mixed well with smoked Paprika, Garlic powder, Celery salt and a good glug of Worchester sauce.
Formed into fat sausages and tightly wrapped in puff pastry.
DGS loves them, Chicken mince is quite moist and binds together without the need for egg.
He also likes to be able to share them with his little friend at school who is Muslim. They like to cook their own lunches and are always looking for new ideas to share.

Like 'cheerio' then?

Originated from hooray, I think, FannyC, used by men working out bush, more a kind of adieu (farewell, hope to see you soon).
Then I think it was picked up by a radio show presenter and he used it as his 'signing off' and thus it became popular down South.

One of the vagaries of the Australian language, like calling someone with red hair "Bluey".

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.

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 can't imagine what you were thinking ...

(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!

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.

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

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

FannyCornforth Rufus2 did post a bit earlier to explain it.

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

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