THE "largest sausage roll in the UK" is now on sale in a Hampshire's Morrisons store, and it will set you back just £1.

The foot-long pastry weighs nearly half a kilogram and is double the length and four times the weight of some high street competitors, according to the supermarket chain.

It contains a staggering 1,650 calories - the equivalent of 15 bananas, eight pints of beer, 12-and-a-half packets of cheese and onion crisps or 103 cucumbers.

The sausage roll is being launched in time for the start of the football season. Morrisons said they created the product "after listening to its customers", who said they wanted to see a bigger version of the snack.

It is available in Morrisons in Totton for just £1 until the end of the week, when the price will rise to £1.43.
