America invents the sausage roll

Widespread mockery on social media after Trader Joe's claimed to have invented a new summer snack that looks suspiciously like a sausage roll. Trader Joe's has called it the "Puff Dog". Los Angeles-based lifestyle website Hello Giggles said it was "genius". However, the UK Daily Mirror was less impressed. "Sausage roll given ridiculous new name," read its headline today. Although other European countries also have a centuries-old fondness for meat wrapped in pastry, the UK has made the sausage roll its own. Greggs sells more than 2.5 million of them every week.It is typically a pork sausage wrapped in puff pastry, although the Puff Dog has opted to use beef.
