You should the size of their sausage rolls , they are like tree trunks ! Filled with caramelized red union and herb sausage meat all locally sourced produce too . ๐Ÿ˜›
I have to admit despite all of the positive comments one hears about Greggs sausage rolls....I can't ever recall trying one. I'm also mindful of the TV adverts for (supposedly) Britains best loved sausage brand.......Richmond.......quite possibly one of the most bland tasting low quality product ever marketed on TV. Chuffer's preference on the other hand sounds really nice and perhaps a far healthier option.

The sausages in Pistons & Rings breakfasts are spot on too , by far the best I have ever tasted .

My wife and her side of the family all love Richmond sausages. I was brought up with proper farm shop / butchers sausages of differing types. I have attempted to educate her side of the family to real sausages, but they aren't convinced and say they don't taste like sausages :rolleyes: <inset facepalm smiley here>.

Thankfully the wife herself DOES like the proper sausages, so does eat them, but also likes her Richmonds too so we sometimes have to have them. Fair enough, some of "hers", some of "mine" etc.

Personally I think Richmonds are just bland and taste mostly of salt.

Reminds me of a friend who ran a fish & chip type shop. They got in real meat fancy burger patties from the butcher to make the burgers taste better and healthier etc. Problem is, a lot of their clientele are brought up on McDonalds, so instantly declared that these don't taste like real burgers and didn't like them.

The consumer magazine 'Which?' has just tested pork sausages. Seems the cheapo supermarket brands are now surpassing the old established favourites.
Best buy.......Lidl Deluxe Pork Sausages!

I went to Surrey Mustangs event at Brooklands last Saturday. All American cars were welcome. Didn't have a sausage though? Can't remember seeing the Bratwurst stand that is sometimes there either?

Club members were there, including our beloved/hard working Membership Secretary Rob, who made this nice/lovely video. Includes him going up the Test Hill in his red C7 Vert.

Italian car day at Brooklands tomorrow. One of my three favourite events there, along with New Years Day and American Car Day.
