The Heck meat free ones are really nice as well, and somewhat overlooked I think.
Yeah those are good, I think the this isn't ones are better though.

I've only seen the sausages in big Asdas so far. The bacon's good as well though, they don't bother trying to make it look like bacon but they give the strips a little feathered edge which approximates the texture of crispy bacon better than anything else I've tried.
I'm a sucker for vegan junk food, I have to try any weird new thing that comes out. The only one I've actually hated were the vegan babybels. Completely inedible. Oh and the vegan tinned tuna, but I don't like actual tinned tuna so I don't know what I was expecting there .

Popped into a local deli today, the German one, for some sausage. That’s the best part about London, there’s every damn cuisine you could ever want. Picked up curry ketchup while there as well.

Lol I hadn't seen the address on there! I'm east London and their main shop/warehouse is in Walthamstow which is just up the road from me.

Walthamstow isn't a real place, it's the magical land that East 17 made up as their home.

Found a pack of their sausages in my small Sainsburys, maybe I haven’t seen them as they sell out.

Walthamstow is a funny place, I always assumed it was E17 and the dog track. These days it's had a crazy property boom and period of gentrification that's traded more on being William Morris' home than 'Stay Another Day'

I was reading an article the other day which had it as one of the top ten coolest places in the UK!
The only other person I know who lives there is an old school acquaintance that seems to do an annual pilgrimage to burning man festival every year... make of that what you will!

"coolest place in the UK" usually just means cheap and full of art students.
Dennistoun in Glasgow was on the list for a while and even I'd think twice about going into most of the pubs along there

Ironically artists are usually the ones who trigger gentrification in an area by moving there because it’s cheap, then making it cool. 10 years later they can’t afford to live there any more.

Aye, that's happened to all the places I used to live in Edinburgh. Can't afford to move home now
Had the currywurst tonight with some little roast potatoes. They were really nice. Even the wife liked them. We've been married for a good few years and she hasn't enjoyed sausage for a while, so that was nice

OK, stupid question but do these things taste of curry??

Proper currywurst and fries is the highlight of any trip to Germany
