The actual news headline is Gardener who sawed off arm saved by sausage rolls, and it’s quite a dramatic story:

Mr Stirling knocked on neighbour Steve Francis’ door and told him: “Please help I’ve cut off my arm.” Shocked Steve, 49, said: “He wasn’t screaming, he was as relaxed as can be. I didn’t realise anything was wrong until I looked down and saw his arm was missing.

While paramedics were working on him Mr Francis put the arm in a plastic Tesco shopping bag.
“I then put it in another bag with frozen pastries in to keep it cold,” he added.

There is so much that is so very GB about this story, but our love of sausage rolls is possibly the main thing- the sheer joy of a Great British Snack food actually saving someone’s limb! I wonder if burgers or tacos have ever achieved such medical triumphs?

So please come to Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings and buy some of our traditionally seasoned Full English sausage rolls. They may not save your limbs, but they definitely make a tasty snack!
