Sausage Rolls
If I had it my way, the sausage roll would be crowned as Britain's national dish! Soft, fatty, lightly spiced meat, enveloped in a layer of crisp flaky pastry. What's not to love? But be warned, one sausage roll quickly leads to the next. The beef sausage can be replaced with pork sausage.
