Hide AdWhen I saw this on the shelf I was really excited, as it was a unique Christmas snack to try, but at the same time I dreaded the thought of a Christmas sausage sushi roll.
When I first opened the container I was pleasantly surprised with the smell, although substituting the sausage for salmon or tuna did look wrong.
Following my first bite I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it. It wasn’t something that reminded me of Christmas, but it was a nice snack.
The sushi rice perhaps let the roll down a bit, it was quite hard (although this could have been because it had been on a refrigerated shelf at Sainsbury’s all day).
