I've just had a delicious brunch of sausages and salad with mustard, piccalily, hot chilli sauce and mango chutney, also a bit of mayo on the salad of crispty green lettuce and lightly fried red pepper and tomatoes, Personally, I think a good sausage is worth paying for and laying out the extra dosh, unless you're having a barbecue with half the local neighbourhood then they can have cheap, burnt skinless chippolatas as the kids don't care and everyone else is getting sloshed. Family barbecues are much the same except for the gourmet worst I save until the glut-fest savagery passes and the fire cools right down. Our locally made sausages here are superb and you cannae beat poly sausage or proper cumberland, such gastronimic delights make me dribble right now thinking about sausages and all. So, do you feel just as passionately about sausages as I do and sometimes go out of your way for a sausagie treat, or do you just by the cheapest porkies from the supermarket shelf? Share your sausage tales here.
I’m not passionate about sausage However I love a good quality sausage cooked really any way. I like them cooked on the bbq and of course only use good sausage. I like them grilled and served with any pasta and chopped tomatoes Plenty pepper an easy quick good meal I like my good quality sausage with my cooked breakfast Although cooked breakfasts are few and far between of late And that’s by choice. Finally I love cold black pudding well it is super food
"I like them grilled and served with any pasta and chopped tomatoes" A big juicy processed (savaloy-type and again, good quality) sausage in a casserole with diced carrot and tomato-based sauce -then throw in some sweet basil and fine chopped tomatoes, minced/crushed garlic and a knob of butter at the end for 2-to-3 minutes ...goes great with pasta! Does anyone else have a secret sausage recipe they'd like to share?
Keep this one under your hat but, cut a bun in half, butter it and stick a couple of sausages between them.
That's a shame because the marrow from the bones as well as the fat just under skin add to the flavour of fish. (sorry if this post is off-topic)
Rarely eat them. Except at the odd barbie. I cant get it out of my head that they're made out of the crap left over that the they can't sell as good red meat!!
A good sausage these days is hard to find, don't like any of them from the local Tesco and neither of the two butchers do one that's any better. The only sausage related story I've got is that when she was a puppy my dog snaffled a raw sausage that fell off the barbecue, puked it up and for the next ten years to this day every time we cook them she gets overexcited. Despite the only one she's ever had being raw and immediately making her sick. Weirdo.
Living in France I miss good British sausages (and bacon). Cumberland sausages especially. French sausages just don't do anything for me, except for Merguez which are spicy sausages.
Our local farmshop sell excellent sausages. There is never any fat dripping out of them and of course their Cumberland sausage is to die for. Just had a full English whilst on holiday on Anglesey, it was first class until I cut into the 'Plastic' sausages, why spoil everything else just to save a few pennies on your sausages, madness.
