Vegetable Roll

Although the name might suggest otherwise, vegetable roll is a beef product that is shaped like a large sausage. It is lightly seasoned with fresh herbs and spring onions. Fried or sliced and grilled, vegetable roll is a staple of Ulster Fry, but it can also be served on its own, paired with mashed potatoes and beans for dinner. This savory treat has been made since 1954 by Hull's company, but it is said that vegetable roll dates back well before that time. Many believe that it became popular in the years after the war, when rationing beef could be forgotten and meat was plentiful once again.
