Oh what a day to be alive, who doesn't just love a sausage roll !!??
For my American chums, the sausage roll is exactly what it sounds like it is !
A lovely meaty sausage wrapped delicious pastry. It's probably our real
national dish.
So today, get yourself down to your local bakery and order a pack of 5, because 1 is
never enough. Enjoy by having 4 and emailing me 1 !!!
Question Impossible
Here's a question....it's hard, in fact, it's
nearly impossible.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it is, to answer this -
How big was the worlds longest sausage roll ?
Answer below....
Sausage Facts :
The word sausage derives from the Latin salsisium, meaning something that has been salted
During the early days of the Empire, Romans mixed fresh pork with finely chopped white pine nuts, cumin seed, bay leaves and black pepper
In 320 AD, because of their association with pagan festivals, Roman Emperor Constantinus I and the Catholic Church made sausage eating a sin and their consumption was banned! This led to sausages going underground until the ban was lifted
It is believed that sausages were brought to Britainby the Romans some time before 400 AD. Since then various English counties have each had their own way of flavouring their local sausage – e.g. Lincolnshire uses fresh sage and Cheshire uses Caraway and Coriander.
By the Middle Ages sausage making had spread to Northern Europe and different varieties began to develop as butchers used ingredients available locally. In some locations, early sausage makers became so adept at making distinctive sausages that their fame spread across Europe
It was in the reign of Charles I that sausages were divided into links for the first time in Britain.

Reflecting on the pretty
Yellow dandelions.
The rainbow bridge
Between heaven and earth
It’s colours inspire.

Sausage Facts :
The word sausage derives from the Latin salsisium, meaning something that has been salted
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first specific reference in English came in a fifteenth century vocabulary ‘Salcicia’, a ‘sawsage’
Sausages were nicknamed bangers during the Second World War. Their high water content due to the scarcity of other ingredients meant that they were liable to explode when cooked as the water turned to steam

Sausages are even older than ancient Greece or Rome- the Sumerians made sausages 5,000 years ago
