Aussie Days in Mayberry today! Meat Pies, Waygu Beef Kabobs, and was supposed to be Sausage Rolls...1st two quite disappointing, the last is what this post is about!
Believe it or not, that is about it!
The highlight for me was running into a family from Brisbane living in Maryland. They were wanting to get a Sausage roll, but the place that was selling them (and they were supposed to be sold on the street) wanted you to come in and sit down. Dad wanted take away, like me, and when I heard the hostess say, sit down only, I went back and sat at table. I guess one of the owners decided he would be happy to sell Dad some take away, and they bought 2 or 3. The son had come over to tell me this, so I went back. They were just ringing them up...so I figured, why not see how they like them, before I get any, again $8 for one and refer to Cheap Screw comment as to why I waited! I had ask Mom what they should be like and she proceed to explain to me what she though should be in them as she regularly made them. She stated a very fine pork mince, even would ask her butcher to run it through one more time for her. To this was added bread crumb, egg, onions, garlic, sage and black pepper...and the thing I found surprising, carrots. At this point, I pretty much knew this was not her 1st rodeo!
They opened the bag and said they looked right. But after tasting, you could tell without words, both kids and parents, these were not authentic Sausage rolls. Glad I did not buy! I ask Mom about the issues. 1st thing she said was texture, to course is what I took away from conversation, then the sausage taste, she felt it was like Italian sausage...All I needed to hear, but the one little girl called it Doddgy...and that sealed the deal for me!
I bent this gals ear about all kinds of stuff, it truly was the highlight of the day for me! Lovely family...poor mom ended up eating cool sausage roll, if she even got any, I think son finished hers off!
