Sausage roll buffet

33 replies

Inspired by a MN username, I’m going to do a sausage roll buffet when friends come over with their DC. We have one pescatarian.

So far I have:
-Mushroom roll from Jamie Oliver Christmas book
-French smoked salmon puff pastry ring (not sausage roll but I like the sound of it)
-standard sausage roll
-other sausage roll, but what?
-pickled onions (2 sizes) and gherkins
-roasted peppers
-decorate your own Lebkuchen

How does that sound?

What can I do for the second sausage roll?

As I’ve repeatedly said to DH, this is all about the sausage rolls.

Turkey mince sage and cranberry?

Glitterbiscuits · 17/11/2024 17:29

Cheese and onions

Sleepygrumpyandnothappy · 17/11/2024 17:30

Italian sausage with fennel and chilli

APurpleSquirrel · 17/11/2024 17:30

Oh Caramelized Onion & pork sausage rolls & harissa spiced sausage rolls - lots of options!

FrogSplash · 17/11/2024 17:31

This might be the best buffet idea I've ever heard of. No suggestions, just reading jealously!

LiftyLift · 17/11/2024 17:34

Chorizo? Sounds like an excellent idea

LockForMultiball · 17/11/2024 17:37

Baklava rolls!

MillicentMaybe · 17/11/2024 17:38

Cheese and onion!

Arlanymor · 17/11/2024 17:38

Can I come?! Cheese and chorizo…. Or you could do cheese and prawns given the pescatarian. Basically anything that goes into an empanada should work.

Nigel.Slater's festive one

Hatty65 · 17/11/2024 17:42

Oh this sounds amazing. The best lunch I ever went to was where the hostess had made Jamie Oliver's sausage rolls and they were excellent. We ate greedily.

Anotherworrier · 17/11/2024 17:43

Cranberry and Brie?

TheSpottedZebra · 17/11/2024 17:44

Lebkuchen? They're not rolly.

What about mini rolls? Or artic roll.

STAY ON excellent THEME.

AngharadM · 17/11/2024 17:44

Please can I have an invitation?

I'd add lots of relishes including piccalilli and something a little spicy like siracha or harrissa; tart drinks too to cut the richness.

If you want to make a bit of a silly funz I'd hand out tasting/scoring cards so people can rate flavour, colour, pastry etc. Then you have the short crust v puff pastry debate

Please, please can I come??Easter Grin

ApolloandDaphne · 17/11/2024 17:45

I'd need a bowl of Rennies on the side. Sounds amazing though.

DanielaDressen · 17/11/2024 17:49

How about these Ruby port, pear and cheese puff pastry “mince pies”. I have bought some today and they look like sausage rolls. groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-specially-selected-ruby-port-fig-and-pear-puff-pastry-mince-pies-300g6-pack/4061461983468]]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-specially-selected-ruby-port-fig-and-pear-puff-pastry-mince-pies-300g6-pack/4061461983468]]]]

i can’t work out if they’re going to be savoury or sweet.

Cosycore · 17/11/2024 17:51

Spinach and ricotta “sausage roll”

this is such a good idea for a buffet

Itwasnttrue · 17/11/2024 17:51

Butternut squash, chestnuts, sage and cranberry sauce.

ATastingMenuButItsAllCrisps · 17/11/2024 17:54

My username for Boxing day? 😁

Questionary · 17/11/2024 17:55

This sounds amazing!

agree with PP that the dessert needs to be a roll too to maintain the theme

Other sausage one - loads of great suggestions above. The chorizo one would be popular in this house

RupertCampbellsBack · 17/11/2024 17:55

Sounds really good. I would add cucumber and carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes, so you can pretend there is a healthy option 😉

And crisps.. Sausage rolls and crisps yummmmm

Talapia · 17/11/2024 18:02

Roulade would be good for pudding.

I'm going to make the JO mushroom rolls l, they sound fab

Talapia · 17/11/2024 18:05

You could do roll your own roulade in teams with a choice of fillings

Seymour5 · 17/11/2024 18:11

Sausage meat and black pudding. DS made some last Christmas, really tasty.

CrepuscularCritter · 17/11/2024 18:25

I like the idea of cheese and onion.

Or go very retro and make a sausage plait.
