SOME of Britain’s biggest supermarket chains are compromising on quality by selling budget items such as sausage rolls with as little as 6% pork.

This is often coming at the expense of quality, however. An analysis of low-cost foods at the two chains has found, in addition to the sausage rolls, fisherman’s pies with 9% fish and square cheese slices with 11% cheese. The products have been bulked out with ingredients such as water, animal fat and sugar.

No - we don't eat any reconstituted meat products at all, and I usually cook from scratch as my mother taught me - sadly this doesn't happen much now.

I can't stand the smell of them sitting on hotplates, as you go past bakers....it literally turns my stomach. Sad to say, the males love them!
