Which sausage rolls are best?

The only cold sausage rolls I like are these ones

If we do eat them (not a lot, but I do like them) I usually make them, as there always seems something a bit dicey about the sausage meat in bought ones.

Homemade with low fat sausages and add a little onion.
Greggs gives me tummy ache.

My DGS is a Greggs vegan sausage roll fanatic. He can tell the difference between different bakers despite not being able to read yet. He will refuse to eat other vegan rolls. Personally, I think the vegan ones are a bit salty and am really not keen on the meat ones.

I do like my own sausage rolls. Finely chopped onions in the sausage meat. Thinner pastry. Mmmmm

Don't make them for that very reason.

I used to work next door to a Greggs and must admit to rushing in and buying a sausage roll for breakfast when I'd left home without eating. A colleague would buy 2 every morning for his breakfast. I haven't eaten one since retiring nearly 4 years ago and, as much as I like them, I've not missed them.

VickyA I love Bald Foodie Guy’s channel, I have picked up some good tips from there.

I don't eat sausage rolls much at all but I have made them to take to a rugby match. Otherwise I will buy frozen Gregg's sausage rolls from Iceland. I have over the years tried others but grisly meat and horrid pastry has put me off.

I like the freshly cooked one in the bag from the co-op bakery department.

tested Greggs from Iceland and Aldi ones and Aldi were half the price and tasted and looked the same!

It's a life changer Serendipity. I cannot believe that I used to make my own pastry. Life is too short. No pun intended.

DH went to the Ginsters factory in Callington on business once. He is sure he remembers hearing that they made the pasties for M & S, so maybe the sausage rolls too.

Sausage roll/s for breakfast ! Errrr not for me, but each to their own... We are surrounded by Greggs so i have only eaten theirs BUT now i have discovered a wonderful, revolutionary thing called READY-MADE PASTRY, i am going to make my own.

I know you said you didn't have a big freezer OP but you can buy a 4 pack of frozen uncooked Greggs sausage rolls in Iceland ( the supermarket not the place) haven't tried them or the unfrozen variety so can't comment on quality sorry. They cost £2.50 for a pack of 4

According to Minibaggs in her teenage years: Greggs. Best in the World!

This fellow does a lot of good taste tests -

M&S have a wonderful selection of sausage rolls of all kinds. I have to walk resolutely past them all as I love sausage rolls so much. They are the true food of the gods! ?

My friend makes the best with fenugreek seeds on the top and I’d eat one for breakfast, I’ve been known to eat leftover cold curry at breakfast time, a sausage roll would be a doddle.

Homemade is by far the best, I know it's just another job to do but if you make a big batch you can freeze them. I always make Delia Smith's Vegetarian sausage rolls out of her Christmas recipe book. Even meat eaters can't get enough of them when I put them on a plate! We have had Greggs vegan ones, they are ok and better than a lot of bought frozen ones. Otherwise buy all butter puff pastry, skin some good sausages and go from there. Yum.

My late mum used to make cheese rissoles with macaroni cheese as the filling surrounded by a lovely crisp crumb .
I cant make them..I try every few years I think I wont let these beggers beat me BUT I never get them right .Always a bit dry or stodgy and once too far in the other direction when they were so wet they fell apart taking them out of thepan.
I wonder if they are something older grans on here might have a recipe for and pass on.
My own sausage rolls are great .by the way,but I try NOT to make them as they are the devils work when I'm on a diet

Sweetpeasue sadly our freezer is only half a fridge freezer so no room for many from Greggs. I think home made would b lovely but we are not able to do much cooking.

I'm a vegetarian. Haven't eaten a sausage roll in 30 years. Macaroni pies, now...

Carry on.

Home made with puff pastry definitely best, though I usually only make them at Christmas. DH loves Greggs (after mine, of course!) so for Greggs fans can I say that Iceland do oven ready Greggs ones to pop straight into oven.

Our local newsagents have a small delivery each day of sausage rolls.
They are lovely not to much pastry, lots of filling.
If you are not in the shop buying by 8am they are all gone.
DH only gets a paper on a Saturday so we feel lucky if there is any left.
Agent won't order more and won't tell you where they are made.
It's the same with the pies.
But I can't imagine having one for breakfast. Maybe elevenses.

We have a small bread and cake shop in town, I believe it`s part of a small chain, called Curtis`s, and their sausage rolls, made on the premises, are delicious, 5 small ones for £1.

I make my own. Wouldn’t want one for breakfast.
