Sausage Rolls

[MTbowels]

Why is it that all mass-produced sausage rolls such as Wall's contain a disgustingly coloured grey meat whereas sausage rolls from my local, independent bakers contains pink meat?

I know the latter are invariably baked fresh on the premises. I'll never buy one of these grey sausage rolls again!!

Thanks

Well, you really don't have to buy the mass produced articles, enjoy those you like, and leave the other varieties to those who prefer them.

Its all a matter of taste, and some people like that style of sausage roll.

Greggs sausage rolls have disgusting pink almost iridescent meat. Cooked pork is not bright pink. It's definitely greyish.

Many thanks both.

Having been to the Walls factory many years ago when I worked for Unilever, it put me off processed meat for years....

If your pork joint was pink you wouldn't want to eat it would you? Sausage meat should be pink when raw and greyish brown when cooked, same as the meat. I suspect your local baker's supplier is adding colouring to make them pink because some idjit decided that is what the public prefer to see....
