A sculpture of the iconic Greggs sausage roll will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds waxworks museum. The world-famous museum has said the pastry-wrapped processed meat roll is the first food item to ever get displayed in its own right.
While the snack is already a British favourite, it will now become an icon sharing space with the likes of Shakespeare and David Attenborough. According to Jo Kinsey, a studio manager at the museum who also oversees the artists responsible for creating the lifelike models said the Greggs sausage roll was "synonymous with British culture- we just had to put it in our culture zone.
"We took the process very seriously, making this creation the same way we make all our figures at the attraction," she said.
"We can't wait for guests to be stopped in their tracks at the lifelike sausage roll - just in time for National Sausage Roll Day," she added. Kinsey also revealed that the artists had put in "numerous" hours to capture every detail of the popular menu item.

People on social media have been reacting to the surprising news with opposite reactions. While some are loving the decision others are questioning the museum.
"Why has it taken so long?" commented an X user.
"Tussauds is running out of things and people to immortalize. Next thing they'll trot out Harry's todger" trolled another.
Others appreciated the artists' work writing, "Someone would eat it if it wasn't in a glass case."
"There needs to be a second version with a bite taken out of it, that randomly gets swapped in for the day," suggested an X user.
It will be a part of a temporary exhibit at Madame Tussauds in Baker Street from June 5th, where it will remain on display for the rest of the month.
