The U.K.-based savoury pastry brand Ginsters has just unveiled a new BBQ Pork Sausage Roll inspired by classic American BBQ flavors.
The first in a series that is inspired by global flavour innovations, the new BBQ Pork Sausage Roll puts a twist on a classic British pastry. The new flavor starts with Ginsters’ signature puff pastry, filled with 100% British pork tossed in a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, all paired with mature cheddar cheese, and flavorful herbs and spices. As Stephanie Allen, Ginsters' Marketing Manager, explains, "Ginsters Rolls have won blind taste tests vs supermarket competitors for the past two years, and we know our new Limited Edition BBQ Pork Sausage Roll will set tastebuds tingling too, driving excitement and buzz in the category."
