Currently chomping my way through a pack of out of date supermarket sausage rolls.
They are clearly ready-cooked but all the packaging gives instructions for cooking and it doesn't say anywhere that they are ready to eat.
Will I die?
If they weren't pre-cooked, you'd have raw meat in a dough roll.
Instructions are for warming them up 🙂
can you spell lyst..listear....leesteery....chunder?

at 10:45 on a Tuesday morning.
It's an abused phrase but that, my friend, really is "living the dream".
I also supect that you would notice if you were eating raw meat and uncooked pastry even you are not that dumb 😉 . Sadly you will live to post yet more drivel on here for years to come REJOICE
made me hungy now.
Where's the nearest Greggs to Trafalgar Square?
Just make sure you instruct someone to let us all know the outcome...

Well yeah, that's kinda what I thought but the wording is all 'cook', not 'reheat'.
I am sure I will li
[i]Sadly you will live to post yet more drivel on here for years to come[/i]
Harsh, but fair. 😆
Cant imagine there is even much meat in them to be fair.
You could probably toast them there will be that much bread in the buggers.
Loads of similar stuff (pies, pastys etc, and quiches come to think of it) always seem to say 'cooking instructions' as if they aren't already cooked.
It really annoys me, because I always worry that I might end up with something that actually does need cooking.
Why can't they just write 'heating instructions'?
Living the dream eh?
Just finished a tin of sausages and baked beanz with two slices of toast.
Best breakfast before a long bike ride imo 🙂
and dont forget it's only a serving suggestion. You cant sue them for not including the tomato salad in the packet....

I imagine there are plenty of other animal products in them though.
By the way, I am wouldn't normally eat sausage rolls but they were bought for our little girls (introducing new foods - yes, they WERE cooked for them), had gone out of date and I hate waste.
🙂
Higgo - I hate you. You made me laugh and that is not a good thing when i've got a cracked rib. 😀
How out of date are they?

I wonder if anyone has tried this?
there'll be plenty of lips & a**eholes in 'em

Only a couple of days or so.
Hoofs and totters too.
Mmmm offal goodness, <droooollls>
[i]By the way, I am wouldn't normally eat sausage rolls but they were bought for our little girls[/i]
I've no idea why anyone would want to eat the pigs foreskin let alone feed it to their children.
i have no issue with the fact that sausages contain offal etc
isn't that the whole point of sausages? To use up all the bits of the pig that isn't chops/ bacon/ belly etc.
Yes thats the point of sausages but supermarket sausage rolls only have about 10% meat content - if they are good ones.
My family run a butchers and our sausage rolls contain the same sausage as you buy over the counter in links. They are lovely.

It was a decision made using the reasoning that small children should be exposed to a wide range of different flavours and textures in order they do not become fussy eaters.
Does it make you feel any better to know that in the last week I have also made them, from scratch using mostly organic ingredients, Italian pasta pie with ham and sweet red pepper, Tuna pasta with soft cheese and vegetable pilau rice?
🙄
+1 for proper butcher's sausage rolls. Our local butcher has big plates of them, wafting out warm sausagey-rolley smells just as I'm cycling past.
so expose them to quality and sh1t. Next week turkey twizzlers and curly fires and next day Chicken in pancetta with pine nut, sun-blush tomato and basil stuffing,Potato Dauphinoise
That's about the sum of it, yes. Over time they will be given all sorts of food to eat so it is inevitable they will get crap to eat - at pubs/restaurants where we have little control over what goes into the food, at birthday parties, at family gatherings...

Good luck with that. 😀
Good luck with that.
Yeah - it has its trials and tribulations. They like Pringles though, bless 'em.
And noodles - can't get enough of my honey and soy noodles.

They have Greggs in London? I thought it was all tofu takeaways & associated shite like that.
Didn't Greggs recently win a 'best sausage roll' award?
they are much better uncooked. if you cook them the grease all come out and makes them weird. My gran always cooks them and whatever i say &won't give them to me out of the packet.
I've become a vegetarian which makes this much easier. 😆
am I too late to point out that nomal symptoms of listeriosis are flu like? It's campy, salmonella and norovirus which tends to make your poo runny and the food come back out through your mouth...
campy
Had that one once - very unpleasant and very messy. Especially on the night when I *thought* I was over it and went on a brewery trip at Theakston's. The poor people that witnessed me in the toilet cubicle (no time to even think about closing the door) probably still suffer from flashbacks.

Isps! Isps! Isps! Halp, isps! (crisps)
This is what we get all the time.
No, Meg, you cannot have crisps all the time whenever you feel like it. Nor can you have butter to eat. Butter goes on bread.
🙂
Fortunately they can't quite say the words yet, but they are adept at pointing. Their latest trick is to put their arms up like they want a hug, then when you do they point at the food they can see on the worktops.
codswallap about sausage rolls being bad for you....

...some more codswallap about sausage rolls being bad for you
Erm...has anyone tried toasting a sausage roll yet?
Why is the last post saying it was 21 minutes ago from the bunk when the last post I can see is mine from 51 minutes ago?
Forum monkeys out stuffing their faces with sausage rolls?
Aha there you are, you bitch.
You're slipping, Mastiles, the downhill slope. Last month it was healthy cereals, now its salty crisps and nasty bits of mushy pig (with added salt). Do you know the provenance of the sausage rolls, do you make them from scratch? It's the only way unless you live in the real world 😉
I've 3 kids and rarely make a meal that suits them all, it's disheartening....
I know teagirl, but in our defence we DO good healthy food too (as mentioned earlier in the thread).
But I totally agree - it does depress you somewhat when they turn up their noses to the beautiful pasta pie and homemade shepherd's pie and start crying. 🙁
But still, we get to feed off the scraps. 🙂

they eat whats put in front of them or go to bed hungry.
No middle class child ever died of starvation. 🙄
Toasting sausage rolls works! Well, sort of - it makes the pastry crispy, and didn't set on fire, which is good. On the downside, the recycled animal hoof meat stayed cold, and I now feel a bit sick.
I might try toasting a scotch egg next, once the nausea goes...

No, no, no. You've completely missed the point! Sausage rolls should always be full of crap AND taste like they are. Just like tinned hot dog sausages MUST be rubbery and smell of that weird nitratey smell.
A [i]proper[/i] sausage in pastry is just sausage in pastry, and a [i]proper[/i] sausage in a finger roll covered in tomato sauce is just a sausage bap.
