Trader Joe's sausage roll stirs row between the UK and the US
The whole of UK erupt in a hubbub after a US chain claimed to have invented a new summer snack that looks like a sausage roll.
Supermarket Trader Joe's has called it the "Puff Dog", and Los Angeles-based lifestyle website Hello Giggles said it was "genius".
The outcry was due to the long-lived tradition of wrapping meat in pastries that UK has claimed to be its own.
The dish is typically sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry, although the Puff Dog has beef inside. British bakery chain Greggs sells more than 2.5 million of them every week.
Americans are more familiar with their version of "pigs in blankets" - a sausage wrapped in hard pastry, as opposed to puff pastry. In the UK, "pigs in blankets" are sausages wrapped in bacon, which are often served with Christmas dinner.
