Sausages

I'm in the 'never heard of them' camp - worried about what I'm missing now

I've never heard of them either but am now slobbering like a Labrador . We've got a Farmer's Market on next week so I'll have have a sniff around there !

My Yorkshire butcher who stayed in business until the late 1970s made delicious tomato sausages. My next butcher (now retired) didn't make them although his sausages were very good.

No, I've never heard of tomato sausages either. I did get some gorgeous ones from a Craft & Food Fair recently - Wild Boar with Black Pudding, they were absolutely bursting with flavour. A good sausage is a truly wonderful thing.

Does no one think about sausages being full of additives. They and bacon are one of the causes of bowel cancer.

Oh yes lovely! I was born in Lincolnshire and though now in Essex, each time we go back to visit we bring some home for us and for the other family members who have moved south. We always boiled ours and poured some of the liquor over the mashed pots. Yummy!!

My father used to bring tomato sausages home when returning from business trips in England. In recent years I have been able to buy such sausages in Carlisle - a distance of some 120 miles from home.

Like one or two others, I've never heard of tomato sausages, what actually ARE they?

Husband won't eat tomatoes, so whatever they are not for us.

No tomato sausages here in Northern Ireland but our butcher's all do an amazing range of delicious flavours with good quality meat. Sweet chilli are my favourites and we can get lovely steak sausages. We need them here you see for our Ulster Fry! Got to admit we don't partake of this very often now but what a great treat when we do. In case you wonder what an Ulster Fry entails it is bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried tomato (not tinned!) Mushrooms, egg, fried soda farl and potato bread. Basically a heart attack on a plate, hence an occasional treat.

Proper butcher's sausages aren't full of additives - they're lovely! I bought some yesterday at a local farmers' market.

You can’t beat Clonakilty black pudding sausages.
