The iconic Gregg sausage roll hits the spotlight as it is turned into a wax sculpture showcased at Madame Tussauds London. The beloved savory snack marks the first time that the product is immortalized in the history of the museum. The roll is displayed along with national treasures, including Princess Diana and Sir David Attenborough.
The sausage roll is sitting on top of a blue velvet cushion and has two spotlights hitting it. The flaky layers are showcased in detail along with its golden buttery crusts. During its unveiling, which falls in line with National Sausage Roll Day coming up soon on June 5th -- it celebrates the role that the snack has played in British food culture.
