Nine of Hearts Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 ... the best thing about them is (or used to be) the lettering on the packet: "Irish recipe, 4 thick sausages". I pointed that out to my then girlfriend, who happened to be half irish. Whoops. One smarting ear and a lecture later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, she understood then? Seriously, I am sure that Richmond's phrased it like that on purpose. But just in case anyone moaned, they could innocently point to the wording on their packs of chipolatas: "Irish recipe, 8 thin sausages".

boatchad Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Not allowed sausages these days but good old Lidl used to do some Pork & Stilton which were superb and like most Lidl stuff dead reasonable. Far superior to the industrial Walls and Richmond rubbish. The test of a good sausage is can you eat it without sauce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Fairhurst Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 P Coates & Son, superb indeed! HERE And the lovely sausages they sell are, I believe, Packington Pork. The lady at the sandwich shop just down the road from WW Towers buys her sausages from Coates in Alrewas. Her sausage sandwiches are pretty much my staple lunchtime diet these days...

nb Innisfree Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) A good sausage needs to be cooked in the oven IMO, regulo 6 for 30 mins or until skin is nicely browned + you must use a sharp knife to cut it, sacrificing it to a blunt one and squashing it is disrespecting a proud sausage. Edited to add: Just decided to cook some now, along with eggs and bubble and squeak :lol: Edited February 26, 2010 by nb Innisfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sociable_hermit Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 If you're feeling rich, the organic sausages from Stephen Morris are fantastic: http://www.stephenmorrisbutchers.co.uk [smelly - this is the shop I meant to show you last year!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnthommo Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 best sausages i have had in the last 35 years? and i don't exaggerate here. Seven Wells Family Butchers in Oundle. Link to 7 Wells i have nothing more to say except that i like the 'bready', dry texture and really dislike sausages that feel greasy to the palate. but then it's down to taste isn't it. problem is that it's so diffucult to find bangers that aren't greasy. cheers nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abfab Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 We got fed up with inferior sausages and when feeling flush we go to Chatsworth farm shop and freeze a few. They have lovely fine skin(not the sort that you have to roll around your mouth hoping to chew them soft enough to swallow, then leaving them on the side of the plate. The inside is quality meat. Gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thee pre war sausage from the butcher in kinver Perhaps a bit past their sell-by date by now? I assume that "pre-war" refers to their recipe and flavour? This is something which goes in cycles with food producers: J. Public gets worried about the amount of fat in meat products such as sausages, so they introduce "Low Fat", "Low Cholesterol", "Good For You", etc., ranges. J. Public samples these and concludes that they don't actually taste of much. Sales plummet. No problem for the sausage maker who launches "traditional" ranges - traditional meaning, yes you've guessed, high fat, high cholesterol, but you can taste them.

parm Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 There is no such thing as a good supermarket sausage in my opinion. Always go to local butcher, and make sure they are made on the premisis and not bought in sausages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb Innisfree Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thee pre war sausage from the butcher in kinver Their oak smoked dry cured bacon is the best I have ever tasted, not found any to come close since we left two years ago.

Athy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Parm, you do have a point - but not all butchers' home-made saus. are great either - I have tasted, or attempted to taste, some disappointingly bland ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueb Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I bought some Tescos finest sausages. The taste was fine, but what was the white liquid left in the pan? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty40s Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 ok you lot, waitrose tries it's best, but if you are down this way visiting Alan as they try to rebuild him (remember the 6 million dollar man), also visit Eastwoods as you pass the Canal pub. Fantastic range and quality, I only found it by accident. in fact google eastwoods, sausage, berkhamstead for some insight into this meat palace. :-) and no, it's nothing to do with me selling, just a happy customer, (the chilli sausages are awesome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
