Ostrich sausage rolls, gluten free



If it's gluten free sausages in a gluten free bread roll from the braai, I must be eating...................?

-er, at home. 


 It is surprisingly difficult to find gluten free sausages here, despite their much higher meat content [typically 90%] than their UK counterparts.   These ostrich sausages are a rare example; many on sale in the supermarket do not list their ingredients at all.  Some of SuperSpar's sausages list their ingredients but none are gluten free.  All Woolworth's sausages are labelled but all contain gluten.  Sadly, there is no local butcher's shop.  Still, the rarity of the occasion called for the home-made gluten free bread rolls and they were sooo good...

Oh no :( Time to invest in a sausage making machine I guess... On a slightly different but related note, a friend of mine is both gluten-free and vegetarian, and it is depressing how many vegetarian meat alternatives are high in wheat protein - otherwise known as gluten :(

While I'm full of admiration for people who choose to be vegetarian, gluten free AND vegetarian must be tough going...
