Reply to: A 'Roll & Sausage' or a 'Sausage Roll'

[minestrone]

A sausage roll does indeed contain sausage meat, I know, I used to make them. My boss tried to add half his finger to the mix once.

The sausage roll is completely different. Firstly, it is not in a roll. Secondly, it does not contain a sausage (well, not one that would pass for a sausage in a proper meal anyway)

Indeed, it is a 'sausagemeat turnover'.

I'm sure that Andyw's mum would make whatever you want.

In her case it's more of a motorway

Minestrone cleverly presents an IT Allegory. The real intent and meaning of the Allegory has been entirely missed, except by my own sagacious and original mind. The clue is in the two different menus, with the same terminology, for differeny items. When the clue is found, however, the meaning of each part of the procession becomes obvious and simple a roll, for example, serves as 'a touching symbol of the great English greasy spoon'. As the replies pass before him, Mr. Minestrone succeeds in finding his 'discovery' of the threads latent meaning confirmed by every succeeding comment. The threads humor derives in the first instance from Mr. Minestrones displays of wit and originality in the pursuit of latent meaning. Yet as the comments unfold, another layer of irony quickly demonstrates the Allegory is lost on the audience.

Well done with the recent sarky stuff!

I'm not sure life is mean't to be this complicated.

I decided to go to the canteen this morning and get a 'roll & sausage' which is called a 'sausage roll' on the menu.

Now if I went down to Greggs at lunch time and asked for a 'sausage roll' they would give me a hot savoury snack made with pastry and not bread.

They did me a cumberland sausage butty with english mustard yesterday at the Truckers stop near Lyme services

[SorenLorensen]

Def a roll 'n' sausage.

Best poll we've had on here for months!

[Tingles]

I'd be too embarassed at being over-familiar and rude.

YMMV

It's not really rude is it?

I ask, they could always refuse - anyway I go in there 3 times a week, I'm one of the family...

I might ask them to add it to the menu.

Although a hot steamy night with HAB will also have you saying "Om nom nom" in the morning while hot juices dribble down your chin.

(I hear he cooks a fine breakfast.)
