Best Make Of Sausage
Not necesarily the flavour but which make of sausage does it for you?
I have tried the Tesco Finest and just do not like them. Also tried Jamie Olivers and did not like them. The closest I've come to getting a decent 'non butcher' sausage is Riverside Premium pork. Anyone have any recommendations? |

For non-butchers or farm shop I do actually quite like Tesco Finest sausages, never had the "plain" ones but some of the flavoured ones are nice. Had some nice lamb ones too.
I do actually want to get my own sausage making machine, my wife thinks I'm a bit mad though. |

Best i've ever had are Lincolnshire sausages from John Pettit butchers in Grimsby. They have an online shop as well. A Toad in the Hole made with them is to die for.

This was in the 70's and he would literally have a 50 mile round trip going from one town to another to get the best sausages, the best bread, the best vegtables and they all were'nt in the same towns and it took him ages. Anyway we'd come home and he would cook up the Snorkers and he'd open up a tin of tomatoes and add salt, pepper, garlic salt a bit of sugar and boil them down, he'd cut doorstops of bread with loads of butter and sometimes after frying the snorkers he would add them to the tomatoes to boil for a while. He'd then serve up and we'd dip the bread in the sauce absolutely delicious. I still cook it now for brekkie but it comes nowhere near the standard of me dads. |

42%
IMO a decent sausage should have about twice that amount of pork in it!

That's the main problem I have with supermarket sausage. Either tough skins or too much herb or pepper. Jimmy's Farm sausage from Tesco are not bad, but £2.99 a pack, not cheap. I try to get at least 70% pork. There's a chain of cooked meat shops in Manchester called Gabbotts Farm, their sausage isn't bad. If I'm there, a pork butchers called Stanforth's in Skipton. |

another fav is vegetable roll, It can be bought as a large 3"thick sausage or sliced in the same way as white/black pudding., made from beef brisket and rib trimmings with carrot, onion and leak added with a coarse texture.
