Cooking Students Make Some Sausage Roll Magic

We missed posting this when it happened earlier in the year. Sorry about that. But here it is.

This was awesome. We mentioned our blog project to one of our catering tutors and she thought it was a great idea. She decided she would get her students to make sausage rolls and we would review them. So here are the results.

We couldn't really pick a winner. They were all so good. But we do make a special mention of ASW for a great balanced roll. Plenty of onion bits in there to increase food value. We should also mention the roll with tomato sauce wrapped in with the filling. Talk about innovation.

There was a range of configurations all the way from my favourite thin, balanced pastry-to-filling ratio goodness to the Kiwi style fat bastard.

Well done guys and thanks for the feed!

Excellent gourmet filling - and look at that pastry!

Highly commended. No clear winner - you're all legends!

Mrs Macs Giant Sausage Disappointment

I've been looking at this one for a while in our caf. It looked like it would have a great pastry-to-filling ratio (it does) and the pastry looked flaky (it is).

So today I relented and splurged the $3.50 - yes - three dollars fifty - for a sausage roll. It just didn't have that three-dollar-fifty taste or quality. The pastry was bland and the filling even more bland and mushy.

The packaging says it's made in Australia - WTF? Who imports sausage rolls?

I ate it.

But - Smosh - don't do it - save your $3.50!
