I don't like the tough plastic type skin that some use now. It's often on the more expensive sausages too. It puts me right off a good sausage;-)

You might need to reduce the sauce until it thickens.

Wow Fennel you've given me an idea for Saturday. I've got a pack of diced pork in the freezer.Thankyou for that,sounds lovely, by way of a change.

We have a local farmshop/pig producer. He does a roaring trade with his various delicious sausages.

Love tomatoes, but not in a sausage, only _with a sausage.

I make a tasty winter casserole with beef sausages (or pork if you prefer), onions and apples. Brown everything off a bit first, cover with some stock, then bake in a medium oven for about an hour.
Serve with mashed potatoes.
Thanks to DD1 for the recipe.

As I understand it, EV, every part of a pig is edible so perhaps it doesn't matter which parts go into pork sausages.

We had some really good ones recently from the Co-op.

There used to be a sausage shop in Oxford Covered Market that sold all sorts of sausages. Some of them were really good. Sadly, it closed.

I've never tried tomato sausages, not sure I'd like them much.

I don't like tomato sausages!
We enjoy a good sausage but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find them . They have all gone gluten free and are vile . God knows what they are putting in them .
It's not always easy for me to get to the local farm shops but when I do I shall stock up.

Tomato sausages figured on our menu quite often when I was a child and I hated it, and still do, but the butcher who made them also made the best pork sausages I have ever eaten. Sadly he died and the shop closed. We don’t eat sausages very often now, but if we are ever up in Masham, there is a butcher there whose wild boar sausages are sublime!

You don't know what goes in sausages. My dad would never eat them.

Our local butcher makes tomato sausages. They are very good, but not as good as the ones DH used to make in his shop.
Those were the days! I wish we still had the business, but it was in competition with the big supermarkets and we were forced to sell the property.

At last! We have found local butcher who makes a most enjoyable and superior tomato sausage. My query is - are these generally available or are they largely a regional thing?
