Ok after hearing that highpoint of musicality from the UK charts, "We built this city on sausage rolls", it actually made me think what countries have sausage rolls as a common snack/lunch food, as it never occured to me that it asn't just a common thing in every country. I mean here in NZ, Sausage rolls, Filled rolls and various meat pies are or used to be a staple of lunch amongst the workers and I know I have been in a fug for the last 3 or 4 months as my favourite bakery hasn't been making sausage rolls as it is getting a refit, and the ones from other bakeries just don't taste right.

Just to be clear for anyone who is unfamiliar with a sausage roll, it doesn't technically have a sausage in it, its basically puff pastry wrapped around sausage meat then baked till its golden brown and delicious. Google it for a picture, oh and google the song to if you haven't heard it, i am old nough to remember the original

We call this "sosiska v teste" in Russia. Direct translation is "sausage in a dough"

I googled sausage rolls and in Spain and Portugal you can buy stuff similar to them, but they are more from bakeries than street food posts.
check pão com choriço, where the bread mass is baked mixed with pieces of sausage.

You mean sausage rolls aren't universal? What is wrong with the non-sausage-roll-eating people? When you go to a party and it's 'bring and share', the best part is always the little mini sausage rolls people make. You can also buy ready made puff pastry and make your own. Delicious.

In Canada, they aren't unknown but they aren't common.

We usually have them around Christmas or New Year's, they are probably mostly eaten as holiday party food. They are small, "finger food". My British grandmother called them piggies in a blanket.

I kind of want a big one now for lunch.

I like to drop a few hot and sizzling ones into a bowl of tomato soup. Imo, way better than crackers or croutons.

Had no idea what it is until I googled it, we have something similar in Serbia in the street bakeries, it's usually the school kids who eat it, but more popular versions are with "pizza filling" (cheese, ham and ketchup) or "nutella cream" than just sausage meat.

It's not used at parties and lunches though. It's a fast food eaten in the street/school between classes.

Not that I'm aware of. I'm from Sweden, but it looks like something the Danes would eat.

Bought one accidentially a few months ago. Biting into it with the expectation of apple filling but finding to have sausage instead ranks among my least favourite moments in 2018.

Bratwurst on/in a proper roll is a different, lovely thing. Most importantly, i can see whats in there :E

Being from the UK, sausage rolls was quite a regular lunch thing which I greatly enjoyed. Nowadays, they spiced it up with curry and other flavours which jazz it up a little. The good old fashioned sausage rolls are still the best especially with light puff pastry :-)

We do have sausage rolls here but I prefer the mighty pulled pork, sweet potato and black bean sauce pasty.

Most of the bakeries and pastry shops in Portugal have that. We call it folhado de salsicha.
However here the pão com chouriço (bread with chorizo) is the king among his family.

They're available in most of the world, ranging from Emapanadas in south america, to Samosas throughout north africa and south asia, with variations in greece and turkey. They're still ubiquitoous in England, and variations exist in France, Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden.
In the U.S., they've got pig in a blanket

Sort of. In Bulgaria, we have a similar thing but with an actual sausage inside, usually with the ends of the sausage coming out of the dough. It's most commonly made with hot dog sausages, but there are other kinds, including some with a sauce filling in addition to the sausage. There was a really awesome one made at a bakery next to the closest subway station, with nice pizza sauce and an unusually good sausage and thick soft dough, but they closed down months ago and aren't coming back. So I feel your pain.

On the other hand, I was lucky I didn't need to use the subway often, because I would've gone into debt from buying 3 at a time every time I passed near the bakery.

Well Funny you should ask this Question.
Over Sausage Rolls I live UK But Morrisons declare a Sausage Roll War - £1.25 for 4 Instore was £2.50 Morrisons going all out waving their sausages around and then cut them in half.50% off.
They've taken on Greggs , which currently offer 4 sausage rolls for £2.85 BUT the offer from Morrisons is only valid until 3rd March.
The rolls are baked in store and served warm in the Market Street area.
LOOK IT UP

That's different. It's not puff pastry (hojaldre en español), and there's an actual sausage inside.

Greetings original poster back again

Sorry about not putting a picture, couldn't see a way to add one
Heres a recipe page from NZ, they don't normally have sesame seeds on them, but i'm guessing they are trying to jazz them up a bit
https://edmondscooking.co.nz/recipes/entrees-and-finger-food/sausage-rolls/

I was actually quite surprised to learn the two different snacks known as "Pigs in a blanket", as i hadn't heard that term in years, To me in New Zealand this is a sausage wrapped in bacon
whereas to those in the US its a sausage wrapped in pastry, quite a weird divergence of meaning.

I do remember eating the NZ style "Pigs in a blanket" along with "Devils on Horseback" as a kid at family gatherings but they both appear to have gone out of vogue (despite have much cooler name) unlike the eternal sausage roll which keeps rocking on.

Devils on Horseback - either prunes stuffed with chutney and wrapped in bacon, or some people made it using dates

We have a very similar version of "pig in a blanket", that is smaller, more of a party snack:
https://comidinhasdochef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Enroladinho-de-salsicha.jpg

But we also have the big version with a full sausage (sometimes with 2 sausages, or a sausage cut in half), that is more of an individual snack:

Its definitely my favorite snack.

This thread is an interesting case study for a fan of linguistic subtleties. Almost without exception, every single person who has said "Yes, we have those!" and posted a picture has in fact posted something which is very clearly not, in fact, a sausage roll.

A hot dog wiener ("Vienna" sausage) encased in a bready dough is as distinct from a sausage roll as a burger is from a beef wellington.

Of course, almost everywhere has some form of meat-filled bread/pastry dish, but that's precisely why it's well worth appreciating the local differences, because they are almost always delicious, but each with their own distinct charms.
