77: Sausage Roll Scorecard — Catching up

19 October 2024

Sausage Roll Scorecard updates have fallen into a state of disrepair of late and Greg J, I know you miss them. I have seven updates to catch up on now, so this update will be low on storytelling and high on brevity.

And, for the record, as of yesterday’s Friday Weigh-in I’m somehow still under the weight that I left home at. Go figure …

Wild Poppy Cafe (Merredin)

  • Different pastry — quite nice.
  • Different filling including carrots — quite tasty.
  • Nice and hot.
  • Nicole really liked it — so extra 0.2 points.
  • Rating — 8.5 out of 10.

  • Small in size.
  • Not that hot.
  • Tasted OK but nothing special.
  • Rating — 7.9 out of 10.
