Americans think they invented the sausage roll and Brits on Twitter aren't having it

From Prima

Along with talking about the weather, apologising a lot and drinking cups of tea, us Brits are very good at eating sausage rolls.

So imagine the sheer offence taken on Twitter when our American cousins across the pond tried to take credit for the pastry covered sausage, called it a 'puffdog' and attempted to claim the humble creation as their own.

It's a no from the UK.

As Indy100 noticed, it all kicked off when US supermarket Trader Joe's started advertising 'puffdogs', which they described as 'a twist on the classic dog-meets-dough pairing of a hot dog' but 'instead swaddled in a perfectly flaky-when-cooked puff pastry'.

Sounds pretty familiar, right?

American news outlets quickly picked up on the ~cRaZy~ new invention, with HelloGiggles calling them 'genius', PopSugar referring to them as the 'snack you need' and Refinery29 adding that they were a 'fancier versions of pigs in a blanket - which we LOVE'.

The general message on Twitter went a little like this: HELLO? EARTH TO AMERICA. THESE ARE SAUSAGE ROLLS. GREGGS DO NICE ONES. THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR AGES.

Anybody else fancy a pastry now? Same.
