Which sausage rolls are best?

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.

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.

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.

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 .....

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Carry on.

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.

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

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 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.

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! ?

This fellow does a lot of good taste tests -

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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