Sausages

I'm moving area soon and there's no Waitrose, the Co-op is the nearest supermarket. Thanks for the recommendation 62Granny. I will give the Irresistible range of sausages a try.

I like Co-op irresistible range they are GF, and they do loads of different flavours as well as plain and Cumberland.

Sainsbury' s range, which I also thought were called Finest but I maybe confused, are also good . The Cumberland ones are excellent. Black Farmer are good too. Our
butcher also makes gf ones.

I have found that most sausages are gf now.

I haven't seen the Black Farmer brand for a while, we often used to buy them. They are good.

Agree that Tesco’s Finest range of sausages are really good.

They are, as are Waitrose sausages.

Most better brands seem to be gluten-free now.

The thick skins are probably collagen or cellulose rather than intestine. I leave the skins if they are thick, dog doesn't object to them.

I need gf, too, and my go-to are these: Morrisons The Best Thick Pork & Caramelised Onion Sausages 400g (£2.50/each). They are tasty and you don’t need a pneumatic drill to cut through the skin!

The problem is that some half-wit has decided that synthetic casings are the way forward. They are utterly disgusting (I did read about the reason why but have forgotten - probably someone had a hissy fit about the word "intestines"!!!). I think that just grabbing a packet of Cumberland or Lincolnshire bangers, one now has to waste time reading the flipping label.

I agree, Tesco does a very tasty range.

DH always cooks when we have sausages and mash. He skins the sausages because I can't stand the casings. When he finds it impossible to skin them, then that casing is always thin enough to be OK for me.

It is not the taste or quality of the sausages that I have an issue with it is the tough leathery casings that spoil them.

Tesco Finest Chipolatas are very good and gluten free

The word 'sausage' does not appear in the Bible. Just a fairly useful piece of info.

That's a good idea that I might try but we should be able to eat them as they come. Husband might have to forego his sausage and mash!

Sausages,,,,don't know what language that was

we don't eat many saysages, but when we do I always take the skins off first, some of them are like plastic,

I have noticed in recent years sausage skins have changed. Are they no longer made from intestines? They seem tough and papery and I find unpleasant to eat. I have tried many types but none that taste like the skins of old fashioned bangers.

Does the toughness depend on whether the sausage casings are natural or synthetic? If you’ve found a taste and quality you like, maybe try squeezing out the filling, shape into patties and fry?

ROMILO definitely not just you

Just skin them before or after cooking. My father always used.to insist on his g the skins of sausages removed before they got to his plate.

Waitrose Cumberland sausages are tasty. They don't claim to be gluten free because they contain potato starch.

If you have an M & S Simply Food you can go to, their sausages are outstanding; would recommend the one which says 60% pork. We had these recently for a BBQ and guests all commenting how good they are.
