Heck. Standard pork ones. Good consistency, flavour, and don't cost the earth.

Absolutely lovely. Too many times I've eaten 100% pork expensive sausages and found them too meaty for a breakfast or a sausage sandwich. Don't get Richmonds thinking they're as good as the Woodside Farm ones though; they're not a patch.
I’m keen to try these now, I’ve always felt that posh sausages don’t provide any massive benefits in a sausage sandwich
Viral tiktok incoming... Please don't make them too popular; I like them being cheap and always available :lol:

I don't over think it and just go on whatever the implied flavour will be (irish, chilli, apple, etc) and just wang 'em in the air frier then stick them up my arse when they've cooled a bit.

I mean, eat them. I eat them.

Our local butcher makes his own pork link sausages and they are superb. Definitely my go-to. I'm more likely to buy a half-lorne from him though (aka skware sossij) as it's absolutely awesome.

Otherwise for a quick & nasty - Richmonds do the job. WIll try these tesco ones on the above recommendation.

I do also enjoy a good cumberland, and a nice spicy sausage, but no particular brands that I aim for there.

I get ours from the local butcher or Keelham Farm Shop, both are good in different ways.

The Welsh dragon ones at the butchers are super, bit of spice to them, and great in a sandwich with some reggae reggae sauce on them 😎

I find the skins to be to thick on Heck snags. They're made nearby to where I live.

Can't beat good butchers sausages over supermarket brands. Richmond and similar can FRO!!

Buy Cumberland ones from Lidl.

Tesco finest pork sausages / Lincolnshire / cumberland one week

Waitrose 1 pork sausages other week.

Me and the wife have some of one those every weekend as a ritual almost.

Might be tempted to try the woodside farm ones but Richmonds can absolutely get in the bin.

Richmond sausages are like a drunken one night stand.

Objectively you know you shouldn't.

But sometimes, you just want something fucking dirty and disgusting.

For many, many years, sausages have been one of the few things I've missed about the UK. NZ sausages are fecking awful by comparison.

However, recently either my standards have dropped or I've found decent stuff. Pork and fennel from one particular brand at the supermarket, or I just scored some wagyu, vennison and bacon efforts direct from one of the big cattle stations down South which are great.

I obviously need to come back and recalibrate however, just for quality control purposes.

Ooh, somewhere I can picture ottomh :D (Assuming it's the place next to the A1(M) (which is probably a better, faster road now it's an M but is bland and less interesting than it was before :( )).

Reading this thread has made me want a sausage sandwich but I haven't got any :(

Probably a decade ago Sainsburys used to do an amazing Chorizo based sausage (but still a sausage rather than actual Chorizo). There has been similar since but it never recaptured the glory of the original.

Other than that, I get all sorts of different sausages from Butchers and supermarkets, but nothing really where I've thought one was head and shoulders above the competion to a memorable 'must buy again' level.

They are cheap nasty shit and do not deserve to be called a sausage.

I’d be less offended if I caught someone hanging out the back of Nigel Farage while doing blackface and singing Ebony and Ivory!!

I only mentioned Richmonds when I was recommending the similarly cheap Woodside Farms ones because they are no comparison; Richmonds have no flavour or texture. I am not generally a fan of the cheap sausage which is why the Woodside Farms sausages were a surprise to me.

Inspired by this thread, I had a (Mortons) roll with Co-Op's Chipolata's for my lunch.

It was good. :)
