East Dulwich deli sausage roll recipe needed

[Sallysausagepants]

I need the recipe for the (former) East Dulwich Deli jumbo sausage rolls before Father's Day! Can anyone help?

[Robert Poste's Child]

No, but If you haven't tried them the ones from the Blackbird bakery are even better.

[KidKruger]

Try pie lady on Northcross Rd market, she makes good sossi rolls.

[Mustard]

I think those were generic sausage rolls supplied by someone else and baked on the premises. I have seen them at other delis. Was told the pork was Gloucester Old Spot

[edcam]

They were definitely better than the ones from Blackbird. Those are good too though.

[Whittler]

The Butchery in Forest Hill (opposite Sainsburys) make their own, most excellent, sausage rolls. Highly recommended.

I have a recipe I am really proud of for the meat but can never get them to look good and have consistent pastry (soggy bottoms)- any tips?

[pinecone]

the blackbird sausage rolls are different.

[Seabag]

Try Ginger Pig at Borough Market

They make sausage rolls of some distinction

[Robert Poste's Child]

Ginger Pig ones are too lardy for me. They give me that urge to rub my face on the carpet like dogs do.

Blackbird on the whole I avoid after a bad stomach upset a few years back but the sausage rolls are about the right balance for me and they have apricots in which are a nice touch.

Dulwich Bakery always got my vote for sausage rolls.

[Robert Poste's Child]

The Herne Hill Sunday market often has a sausage roll stall that does some nice flavours.

[KidKruger]

WR butchers doesn't do a bad sossi roll.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Wm Rose does a very nice pork pie but no sausage rolls. A gap in their product range I feel.

Though my opinion re the pork pies was dented recently when I went to my sister's local (non-organic) butcher in Finsbury Park and they had exactly the same ones.

[KidKruger]

They do sausage rolls and always have, no gap - unless the ones I've been buying regularly for years are really salads masquerading as pink meat in a flaky pastry.

Perhaps they'd sold out on the occasion you tried.

[bluecanary]

Add chopped onions and/or your choice of seasoning or not as the mood takes you. Delicious!

[LadyNorwood]

Speldhurst sausage meat is the best if you're making your own (tricky to find though)... Drive down to Speldhurst on a nice sunny day and stock up - they do delicious chipolatas at Christmas.

And I thought I'd mapped all processes pork products in the area. That's my Saturday morning sorted.

The sausage meat at Flock and Herd is good. Or buy the many flavoured sausages they do and take skins off. They use a mix which they then flavour differently depending on the type. Think they won a sausage award recently.

[KidKruger]

Bought a couple more at WR today. ?1.25 a pop.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Maybe I should give them a call and ask them to pop a couple behind the counter till Sat in case there's a rush on now you've given them a recommendation.

Do sausage rolls count as charcuterie, I wonder? Maybe more patisserie. If a labradoodle's anything to go by, I suppose it would be patuterie.

[KidKruger]

Foreign jargon is not applicable to sossi rolls, clever clogs.
