As it's nearly Christmas I decided to get a sausage sandwich from the canteen at work, yuk. They got it wrong in so many ways, what a far cry from the canteen at our old office, they did them as near to perfect as you can get.
Everyone's idea of a perfect sausage sandwich, this is mine:
Everyone's idea of a perfect sausage sandwich, this is mine:
- One Current Teacake, toasted on the inside buttered with Lurpak. (yes currants)
- 2 sausages, preferably the ones that only caterers can get.
- 1 hash brown
- one sachet of tomato ketchup
- Important: the sausages should not be sliced in half and the teacake should be kept whole.
- Wash down with a strong, milky cup of tea, 2 sugars.

I love sausage sarnies. I like to fry the sausages, and i do cut them in half so the cut half goes crispy in the pan.
I like fresh white bread, and two sausages per sarnie. I like a little brown sause on the bread, and a scraping of butter.
Perfect
The finest quality sausages that Tesco sells - Finest or Porkinson etc. 2 per round.
Thinly sliced cheddar cheese.
Real mayonnaise.
A little Lurpak or real butter.
Leave the sausages to cool until they are just very warm, slice in half, and then make sandwich. The trick is for the cheese to warm slightly, but NOT melt.
Yum!
You lost me with the currant bun! Beyond disgusting!
My favourite way of eating them is with white bread and sausages!
white bread, sausages, HP brown sauce.
Though if I am really fussy, cumberland/licolnshire/some other great sausages sliced in half
better than a bacon buttie imo
Just as this thread was giving me a taste for a nice sausage sandwich I find I have lost it again
I've mellowed out since though.
Hey if people can put pineapple on pizza
that would take quite a loaf!!! :eek:
and also... wouldn't the trotters be a bit crunchy?
2 true pork sausages from the local butcher (none of this processed supermarket shite)
1 Small shallot diced and fried
assemble
optional Tomato Ketchup (The only sauce that should be used as it enhances meat flavor!..true..fact.)
done
Mwahahaha!
2 pieces of sliced white bread, spread with vitalite.
place sausages in between bread and dribble with Jamaican hot sauce.
Eat with a hot cup of tea (milk in first, no sugar).
Apart from the obvious disgust at currant teacake and sausage:eek::eek:. My question is, and it's an important one.
How do you toast and butter the inside of a teacake that's been kept whole?
Last October (2006) I was going Urban Exploring in a derelict asylum. My Mother made us a packed lunch and the main part of it was a wonderful sausage sandwich. It had lashings of real butter, but the best part was that the sausage was from the local butcher where all of the ingredients were local, and it had a wonderful seasoning. No "filler" in it at all, but it was very light.
I can still taste it, and remember photographically, sitting there and eating it amongst the rubble.
You call it Urban Exploring, I call it criminal trespass!
I'm happy for you.
Yay, I fell all warm and cosy inside now.
Yer normal supermarket sausage cook really well in a George Foreman (or similar) machine - Richmond ones are especially good. Eight minutes cooking.
For the better quality sausages you can often get I have recently learnt the following technique.
Plenty of vegetable oil in the pan, heat then add the sausage/s and cover over a high heat.
When then begin to splutter and spit turn the heat down (1/3 to 1/2) and leave for one minute, then turn the sausage and leave for one more minute. Turn the heat off but leave the pan over the source (still covered) for two minutes. The sausage will be nicely done, juicy and not burnt.
Good fresh proper bread (white or brown).
A good tomato sauce, a good pepper sauce or a combo of brown sauce and English mustard.
A treat.
As for sausage sarnies - it has to be good quality sausages from the butchers, but cheap soft white bread seems to work best. No butter or anything.
And brown sauce. It has to be brown! Daddies for preference, but HP or Heinz is good too.
Now your first point is all valid and acceptable - but sorry, Brown Sauce!
Yuk yuk yukkyty - I hate the stuff.
