The Tuesday before last I found myself in Toowong. I had a hankering for a roast turkey sandwich so I went to Roast and Toast, the obligatory carvery in the Toowong Village food court. Hardly to my surprise I discovered that they did not serve roast turkey, so I perused their other offerings. The most attractive looking thing to me at the time was a pork sausage, which came on a roll. I placed my order and got a little surprised as the guy made it. I was expecting a hot dog type roll, but instead saw a hamburger style roll. I was worried that this type of roll would not be the best vessel for my sausage. However, the guy cut the sausage into several pieces, so it fitted into the roll quite well. He asked me if I wanted gravy, which I did. Then he asked me if I wanted salt and pepper. I was not expecting this question and replied that I wanted both. Had I thought about it, I probably would have said no, because normally I think sausages are salty enough on their own. However, I'm glad I didn't because the salt and pepper really complimented the sausage quite well. The sausage itself was fine: certainly not the best pork sausage ever, but far from poor. The gravy was exactly the sort of gravy that every carvery in the country serves; not as good as the kind you'd get at a restaurant or even a pub, but better than gravox (and I like gravox). Overall, this was about as good a pork sausage on a roll from a shopping centre carvery you could get.
