Homemade are best. It's so easy with ready made pastry. Nothing like the smell of them cooking and eating fresh from the oven. Only make at Xmas and special occasions. They always get eaten first!!! ??

I like my own home-made! I always make a few dozen at Christmas.

Well, I haven't seen the original post, which makes my post kind of irrelevant, but my local butcher makes their own most absolutely wonderful sausage rolls, fresh and warm. All gone by 11.00am! I was brought up never to eat in the street (now there's another thread) but I have to say once or twice a sausage roll has actually not made it home .....

Siobhan, I quite like one for supper with potatoes and veg and often have a Linda McCartney one as I quite like the taste and one is low in Weightwatcher points. A nice Greggs is fine too, meat or vegan.

I’m afraid I seldom eat them, and usually only if part of a buffet. There is a bakers in Settle that sells the most wonderful sausage plait. I think they add sage and onion to the sausage meat.

Sausage rolls for breakfast?? I'd have indigestion all day.
I can just about put up with one small one (plus a large drink) at a reception or party.
I might like them but they definitely don't like me.

From the like button posts I saw this and wondered as other person in the house has a sausage roll, heated in the oven, daily for breakfast which ones gransnetters like.

For in house #1 has always been Greggs but we don't live near a shop and we get alternate deliveries each week from Morrisons and Tescos. One used to have Ginsters, which were apparently good but not as good as Greggs, and one had Walls, less good.

Then a while back Tescos Finest started their own and they were as good as Ginster, and then Morrisons got special best and they were as good as Ginsters too.

All those better than Walls and bottom, worse than Walls, were Asda finest. Greggs still are the best as the pastry is so fresh.

Lower even than Walls at the bottom are any Supermarket own except those mentioned. Prices vary and sometimes Ginsters were £1 and Finest etc more.

Also some packs have one big one, or 2 big ones, and then one is ok for breakfast, and some are 4 small ones in a pack. Then it takes 3 to make breakfast so you need 3 packs in the weekly delivery and some stored in the freezer, Ginsters from the Co-p on a walk, or or Russlers breakfast muffins or pancakes, which cost more.

Personally I have porridge smile And in sausage rolls it is the pastry I like best and filling not too strong a taste. Good pastry smells so nice.
