The countdown to Christmas has started – and so has the SQF Advent Calendar! Every day we’ll bring you either a fact of the day or a festive recipe card, so keep visiting our website and follow us on social media to see what we’re up to this festive season!
It’s the fifth day on our advent calendar already – we think it’s time for a proper winter warmer, the ever popular and versatile sausage roll!
We are a nation of sausage roll eaters – reportedly the high street baker Gregg’s sell 145,000,000 sausage rolls every year in the UK. That means that we Brits buy around 4.5 Gregg’s sausage rolls every second!
The origin of our favourtie on the go snack is a bit muddy – meat wrapped in dough as a snack can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans; although the modern sausage roll appears to have been invented near the beginning of the 19th century in France. Sacre bleu!
It didn’t take long for the delicacy to hop over the Channel however, and its popularity during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) in London earned the sausage roll its place as a beloved English classic.
