Recommendations please for decent sausages. The ones we have had lately are tasteless , or got very thick skins. , which ones have you liked. ?

Local butchers in Penkridge,he`s on the main road opposite a very old pub/Heck and Aldi`s low fat are really nice too.

Co-op chipolata sausages.
Nice and smooth and just right for a breakfast sandwich with (optional but recommended) fresh finger rolls from our bakers shop + HP of course ?

I am not a fan of sausages but I bought Asda extra special leek cheddar and red pepper. They are gluten free no grisly bits thin skin my DH loves them baked in the oven.

Oops.
I meant the Richmond meat free.

MissAdventure Sun 17-Oct-21 19:43:44

I eat those too.

Sainsbury pork or Cumberland. No lumps.

Everyone in our house loves Richmond meat free sausages although we have never been keen on any other type of Richmond sausages.

Love sausages, and yes I know they are not good for you, but if eaten in moderation, I can't see the problem ?. We have tried all sorts, but our favourite are Asda (yes, better than M and S, Sainsburys and our local burchers); they are from the Extra Special range (2 packs for £4.00) and are really meaty. They have various flavours, but the Cumberland and Lincolnshire ones are the best.

The trouble with sausages made by a butcher (at least those around here) is that they are not all the same size, which can cause problems when sharing them out! Our only supermarket is Tesco, and I get Heck 97% pork ones there. If there are none, I would get Tesco's Finest ones.

Musks Newmarket are just the best I've ever had, but unfortunately you can't get them everywhere. They do a mail order service but you have to buy quite a lot. Might be worth it for Christmas though and they do freeze well.

I like Waitrose Chorizo sausages. I like spicy sausages, so love Merguez but haven't had them for ages.

MissAdventure Sun 17-Oct-21 18:25:56

I used to smoke cigarettes every day.
Sausages must be hard to light up?

NotSpaghetti as a fellow vegetarian I'd be very happy to hear your recommendations!

Thankyou sausage connoisseurs. I will give some of these a try. Didn’t like Richmond. They had no taste at all and very light inside. Morrison’s had tough skins.
Our local butcher used to make his own pork sausages they were delicious but he retired and closed his shop

After trying loads of different ones, we have opted for Jolly Hog, they really are good.

I avoid sausages apart from maybe once or twice a year. They are full of chemicals and offal not fit for human consumption

Not the sausages I recommended!

dragonfly46 Sat 02-Oct-21 22:10:28

I get them from the local farm shop - delicious!

Hetty58 Sat 02-Oct-21 22:08:16

'healthy as a slice of pork fillet' - really? Saturated fat, heart disease, nice!

Grannynannywanny Sat 02-Oct-21 22:05:07

To misquote Dick Emery..
Ooh you are offal but I like you!

Jaxjacky Sat 02-Oct-21 22:01:50

I agree MOnica and nothing wrong with offal in my view.

Hetty58 Sat 02-Oct-21 21:19:35

Co-op Gro are the best vegan sausages, made from mushrooms and very tasty!

M0nica Sat 02-Oct-21 21:07:44

Depends where you buy them Ethelwasher1. Buy sausages from a butcher who makes them from the pigs he rears on his own land without dosing wth antibiotics and with few additions, they are as healthy as a slice of pork fillet.

We buy our sausages from the local butcher.
When we were first married my husband's family owned a grocery shop. They made their own sausages from a recipe handed down from his grandfather.
Sadly the shop closed due to competition from the out of town supermarkets. He sold the recipe for his sausages to said butcher.
They are the best.
