To serve a massive sausage roll for dinner?

[QueenNefertitty]

DM and her husband are coming for dinner with me, ExDP and DS.

I have a massive m&s Yule sausage roll (like basically a sausagemeat Wellington) that needs eating today. Serves 8.

WIBU to serve this with mashed potatoes and green veg for dinner? Or is that grim? It looks very delicious- but effectively it is just an oversized sausage roll such as you
might sneakily eat from greggs and hope you don't bump into anyone you know midway through it.

I will make a chocolate fondant for after, if that redeems it, at all....

DM used to make a sausage meat plait. Same thing!

I remember making sausage plait in Home Economics, back in the dark ages. It was lovely and became a regular meal at home afterwards.

Serve it. :)

Does it sound nice? Bit weird but not too bad, I guess. But that doesn’t even matter (imo). They’re your guests. And wether you serve the massive sausage roll or something else (like that buffet)... they get to be food snobs when they’re the ones cooking.

Given that your ex is trying to dictate I'd be tempted to do the buffet but really, the roll with mash etc sounds better.

I've just made an enormous sausage roll but we are having other bits too. Third buffet lunch this week. Don't care.

Sounds yum. And I have sausagemeat. And I have puff pastry. Might do that myself.

It's a free meal and they're not having to cook it.

What's not to like?

Yes ny first thought was sausage plait - yummy.

Go for it OP. I'd love this with gravy and chutney.

TonTonMacoute, I think we must have gone to the same school. Sausage plait was the first thing we made in Home Ec. I still use some of the recipes from school now. My DC never made anything useful.

Sounds lovely. Glaze it with some chutney maybe? Give it an edge!

I wouldn't want a guest who would laugh at my food on the way home. Ungrateful!

Serve it. They can like it or lump it

It's basically sausage and mash, but with added pastry. How could anyone not fancy that? What time should we pop round?

Someone cook something for me please. No one eats here unless I cook it.

Trout I know... Am the same. Last time someone cooked something for me was 2010...

Shall we go round to the OP's It does serve 10 apparently

That sounds yum

I hope they have it at my local M&S, I really want this for dinner today!

It's sausage Plait that I make too

Sounds lovely I want some!!

Thank you OP! I have a sausage roll garland from M&S and now having this for tea tonight- great idea 💡

Any chance of a recipe?

I'd be happy with that. Very nice.

We have it often, big sausage roll with mash, veg and onion gravy. I usually make a pork and leek one but have done pork, chestnut and cranberry at Christmas before.

I’d love that for dinner, but then I do love a sausage especially if it’s in pastry

I’d love it! Yum!

Is this it OP?

Sounds and looks delicious!

Although, tbf, you could wrap a partially decomposed, scabby rat in puff pastry and I'd eat it.

jesus that looks yummy - I was thinking it be an oversized roll with slashed pastry. But if that is it op I would present to the table and serve with lots of buttery mash, green veg and gravy. Yum!
