What sausages?

[Zonda_]

Following on from the other thread, what sausages do you buy? Our local butcher used to make nice Cumberland but they seem to have lost the recipe!

[JonMad]

Whatever Ocado have on offer.

[V8Granite]

Whatever looks nicest at the Butchers.

Pork and Stilton are great but messy to grill, plain pork or Lincolnshire are my favourites.

...is the correct answer

I prefer plain pork, cumberland or chilli from the local butchers, but the boy prefers pork & leek. So that's what the wife buys

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.

Decent pork sausages for my other half and these for me.

80% to 85% pork is the sweet spot for sausages. They dry out if there's less than 15% fat.

You need to re-assert dominance. Go in with an elbow drop when he goes to take a bite of his sausage sandwich and demand the wife goes straight away to buy Your favourites !!

Correct on the fat.

Richmond is sausage essence squeezed into plastic sausage casings in a pink liquid. Will not even entertain eating them.

Woodside are great for the price but too small.

I'm just glad he's keen to eat sausages. For a few years early on he didn't tend to bother much with meat. Fish is the next challenge. And bacon, but then t was a few years before I got into bacon tbh.

Merv the next time they have sausage and mash for family dinner

They're so cheap you can have two or three. I don't consider them particularly small because they're the same size sausages always used to be; more premium sausages these days tend to be bigger.

Best sausages I ever had were from Stroff's in the Covered Market in Oxford in about 1995. Shallow fried low for a long time, I can still remember how good they tasted.

[Gavster]

Whatever premium brand or supermarket own-label looks good, plus I keep a stock of pork & wild garlic from Parson's Nose in the freezer.

Also, if anyone's into sheep, I noticed these guys doing half/full lamb boxes straight from the farm which look great https://www.lancashirelambboxes.co.uk/? ... E6lGaaVAoU

[Sundayjumper]

The Costco ones used to be good, I've not had them for ages though.

I’m keen to try these now, I’ve always felt that posh sausages don’t provide any massive benefits in a sausage sandwich

I buy whatever I like and freeze them, simple.
