British food producer Chunk of Devon has launched three new flavours of its chunky sausage rolls, in celebration of the brand’s tenth birthday.
There’s a new pork, apple and scrumpy sausage roll to reflect the company’s Devon heritage; as well as a new pork and chorizo variant and breakfast version with sun-dried tomatoes, egg and gammon. As well as the three new flavours, Chunk will be re-launching its original Chunki sausage roll.
Each gourmet Chunk sausage roll is handmade in Devon, and the new sausage rolls will be available from this month. Chunk of Devon also produces a range of pies including steak and stilton, and chicken and smokey bacon; pasties such as roast vegetable, steak and blue cheese, and lamb maroc; as well as a line in traditional pork pies.
Chunk of Devon owner Simon Bryon-Edmond said: “From the off we were determined not to short-change our customers, making sure our sausage rolls were a chunky affair, with real shoulder meat, just the right amount of sage, onion, herbs and spices and all wrapped up in a cracking buttery ruff puff pasty. We won’t stint on quality ingredients and we feel this is why our products are worth falling in love with.
“From its origins as a simple butcher’s snack, the sausage roll has been on a bit of a roller coaster ride through the years. It first gained mass popularity when manufacturers married the fine art of puff pastry making with machinery that made it less temperamental and much cheaper to produce. However, with the ever-increasing demand to make a perfect-looking product, combined with the need to make it cheaper and cheaper, manufacturers started reducing the fat content of sausage rolls and introducing chemicals and other undesirables into the sausage, so they became bright pink meat concoctions packed with chemicals encased in pale, flavourless pastry. Chunk have always placed great importance on making sausage rolls that stay true to their roots as a delicious, flavour-filled savoury snack encased in the most mouthwateringly buttery puff pastry.
“Our sausage rolls have that classic homemade trickle and this naturally adds to their appeal and for this reason, they have become a legend in their own lunch hour – the Bugatti Veyron of the sausage roll world.”
