Meat-free sausage roll
Savoury pastry snack
A meat-free sausage roll (also known as a vegetarian sausage roll or vegan sausage roll) is a savoury pastry snack that contains a non-meat filling. The snack is an alternative to the conventional sausage roll that generally contains pork or beef. Meat-free sausage rolls are sold at retail outlets and are also available from bakeries as a take-away food.
Composition
The basic composition of a meat-free sausage roll is sheets of puff pastry formed into tubes around a meat substitute filling, before being baked.
Linda McCartney Foods produce meat-free sausage rolls based on soya.[1][2]
In the UK in 2019, the bakery chain Greggs launched a meat-free sausage roll[3][4] made using the mycoprotein mixture Quorn.[5] It became one of the company's five best-selling products, and contributed to a 50% increase in their profits.[6]
