If you think the peak of British cuisine is some pork wrapped in puff pastry, then firstly you’re absolutely right and secondly, your Christmas has come early as Greggs are launching a ‘yard-long’ sausage roll this week.
To celebrate National Sausage Roll Day on June 5 – mark your calendars – the high street bakery chain will be giving fans the chance to get their hands on a yard-long box made up of 17 sausage rolls.
Customers will be able to choose from classic or vegan rolls, and the three-foot long product will cost £15.
Is it even legal to call it “yard long” if you actually need to lay 17 next to each other? My cereal box does not say “200 meter cereals” just because if I lay them all out I might get there.
I’m not a savoury snack solicitor but if they state clearly that it’s a yard of sausage rolls then they can’t be done for false advertising.
My flooring tells me how many meters squared it is, even though I have to assemble it myself. It doesn’t even compensate for offcuts.
As long as they do not call it “a 10 m² tile” that seems fine. The same way 500 g of cereals are the sun of all.
