Indeed and a butcher knows, those that go to 'Aerial Ping-Pong' and 'The Game played in Heaven' games also know a real Sausage roll when they see one.......:wink2:

MEAT was not a plentiful commodity when I was a kid - so it was a good day when we had some sausages. WW2 in Britain was just over - and meat was still rationed - and, indeed rationing of many foods didn't end for us until 1951, and I can still remember cutting out coupons from a book - before visiting the butcher's shop, to see what was available.

We had sausage rolls - the way I described them being made - on high days and holidays - often as a birthday treat.

Both my mum - and my wife's mum made 'em that way - and indeed my wife still does.

Apparently you don't. Vive la difference. You do it your way - and we will keep doing it ours. G'day^&grin jb

Time for a commercial break, although in this case the ad is free to screen.{sm4}

There seem to be a few Australian food suppliers in USA

Here is just one of them.

https://www.simplyoz.com/products/australian_meat_pies_w_free_shipping_in_

They also do Tim Tams and other Arnotts biscuits.

http://www.tuckshopnyc.com/menu.php has :
SAUSAGE ROLL (Pork, sage and heaps of good stuff) $4
LAMINGTONS $3 Sponge cake with a strawberry jam centre smothered in chocolate and rolled in coconut.

So for the coming holiday season be adventurous and treat your family to a healthy meal of Australian meat pies and sausage rolls with Tim Tams and Lamingtons for dessert. Naturally this should be consumed whilst watching Crocodile Dundee, The Water Diviner, Gallipoli or The Lighthorsemen.^&grin

...Nothing like a hot bowl of grits on a cold morning...

...except a bowl of hot Cream o' Wheat, or oatmeal, sweetened with honey or maple syrup.

Prost!

Loose sausage, OK. Same difference, really, as far as the taste goes, but I see your point.

Here, we tend to use loose sausage (sometimes called bulk sausage or sausage filling, too), in patties. You also use bulk sausage to make sausage gravy. Serve that over homemade biscuits, mmm, mmm, good!

Prost!

So it's similar to a Jamaican meat pie, but a different shape. Probably not as spicy either. Costco sells Tim-Tams, maybe they have sausage rolls to? They look like my kind of food.

Another variety of the sausage roll ( i.e a baked roll made with a sausage filling), that my wife likes to make - is a Lincolnshire Sausage Roll. The filling in this case (sic) is, as the name suggests, a Lincolnshire sausage. The predominant flavour of these - is the herb sage - whilst the pork meat is often more coarsely ground, rather than minced.

I guess the decision to leave the casing of the sausage on - or take it off is optional - but I always prefer them with casing left on. I suppose it may be fractionally cheaper to use a meat mix without the traditional casing of sheep intestine - and thus maximise profit, but we're of a generation where convenience foods weren't around much - and became used to making our own, which we continue to do.

I still keep in contact with a good friend of mine who was once a butcher in the Lincolnshire village of Wrawby - long retired now - as he's approaching 90 years old. He had a recipe for his lincolnshire sausages that were to die for. When he retired from work - he passed on his recipe to another local butcher - who now continues making them for him ( and a few other devotees), on a batch basis. We all call them "Arthur's sausages" - and whenever I visit - I always check a month or so before going - that he has a good supply on order. He orders " a stone of sausages" at a time - meaning the old measure of 14lbs, and then keeps them in a large freezer in his garage, to use as he wants. Yum! verra nice.

Must visit him again - soon. jb

Yes I know. Point is if they are importing one then maybe they are selling a similar meat product.
