Sometimes I realise that being a money saver isn't always the right thing to do, sometimes you get exactly what you pay for and although it is possible to live for a week of food on less than a tenner, sometimes you don't really have to. I think this is a good example of the kind of product you should use discretion and pay a bit more for because although its cheap and its edible, its not something your going to get much enjoyment out of unless you smother it in some kind of sauce and totally dilute the natural (lack of) flavour. The Packaging: Well cheap is as cheap does and boy does this look cheap, two manky pieces of pastry with ...  Read the complete review

Ok so the Italians have the pizza, Mexican's the Taco, the French the baguette and the Spanish tapas, what is a traditional British Snack, something we can rely on to replenish in a crisis, something quick, tasty and filled with goodness, thats right i'm talking about the good old roll of Sausage, its something thats about as fashionable nowadays as your old Brother Beyond album, but its still going strong with fans buying packets quietly hidden in their baskets and scuttling home quickly to enjoy guiltily without reproach from the calorie police and the healthy food brigade. I had a pack of these on the train home last night and had to keep checking if ...  Read the complete review

I am rather partial to a sausage roll, I like to have one with a salad as the hot component to my meal as it's satisfyingly greasy but won't completely blow my calorie allowance for the day so long as I have it with the obligatory lettuce, tomato and cucumber. While I usually buy Pork Farms sausage rolls or a similar brand last week my eye came upon a pack of two decent sized Tesco Value Sausage Rolls for 49p, I decided to buy a pack to try as I remember eating a Sainsbury's own brand sausage roll at my daughter's house and finding it to be very tasty. These, however, are not very tasty. They are greasy and horrible and I shall never eat them again. I ...  Read the complete review

I forgot my wallet and my lunch on Monday, so after scraping together a bit of car park change from the motor, I headed into Tesco to see what delights I could purchase for 97p. Straight away I grabbed a pack of two sausage rolls from their value range out of the chiller for only 49p leaving me enough for a drink. Result! Now, at 49p for two, my expectation levels were not high and after glancing at the packet and seeing that they contain just 12% pork, I was pretty sure that this could well end in disappointment and it did. What they lack in meat they more than make up for in onion, which is pretty much all you can taste. The pastry is a bit limp ...  Read the complete review

I didn't want to try these sausage rolls but when I got back from the pub the other night I was starving so I thought I might as well have one because with beer goggles on they might not be as bad as they look!!! I thought the sausage roll wasn't bad and had another one the next night. The trick is to have these cold with a bit of sauce because if you warm them up in either the microwave or oven they go mega greasy and taste disgusting! When you have it cold the pastry is proper dry but it's got a nice flavour to it, the sausagemeat isn't the best quality in the world but it's deffo edible and if you're buying 2 sausage rolls for less than 50p then ...  Read the complete review
