Sausages

[Mark Parrott]

I have a problem. For some reason, my wife prefers basic pork sausages (usually the cheaper variety) but the carbs in these are quite high. I like proper meaty sausages. Had 2 cheapy ones this morning which are 5g carbs each!😱 Need to find some we can compromise on or just buy our own sausages.

Sausages freeze well, you could buy two packs and divide them up. I have a similar problem, I love my butcher's pork and black pudding sausages, but the rest of the family aren't keen, so I buy a 'mix and match' assortment. Problem then is not mixing them up when they're cooking!

I'm with you on this one mark. I love a good quality meaty sausage (oo-er Mrs!), I don't have them often so when I do I like good quality ones. I either have giggly pig sausages (local company to me) or get some from our local butchers. My OH eats whatever's put in front of him!

I love sausages! You absolutely must get some 'Black Farmer' gluten-free sausages, they are delicious and contain barely any carbs or fat! 🙂

 

[Stitch147]

That's what I like with the giggly pig ones, they don't add any fat to them

I'm sure I have tried those. They were lovely.

I love my bangers too, there's a local butcher who does venison ones, with a great recipe that doesn't spike me (no breadcrumbs). I can't afford them often but, for a treat they're wonderful. I reckon you and your missus are going to have to agree to disagree on this one and buy different kinds. Do you have a proper butcher near you?

Intrigued by the name I had a search and it seems the lady behind the company has an interesting background. She's turned her life around from a life of crime to running the company. All from working on the pig farm whilst in prison. Quite a transformation. 🙂

Linda McCartney sausages for me.

We have a very good butcher about 10 miles away. It's on a farm and the animals they use are in the fields on the farm! Had a massive selection of sausages & burgers but not cheap, so special occasions only.🙂

For a very tasty change try Linda Mccartney's sausages.

I don't eat meaty bangers, I have Quorn ones or Linda McCartney ones - the rosemary & red onion ones are particularly nice 🙂

 

[Mark Parrott]

I have tried both Quorn & Linda McCartney sausages but didn't like them.

The Linda McCartney ones are nice but I am particularly fond of the chipolatas from one of the local butchers

 

[Stitch147]

When we go camping its one of the few times that we have a full cooked breakfast and at the great dorset steam fair there is a sausage stall that sell sausages and bacon so we always get the nice fresh stuff from him. Its delicious and sets you up nicely for the day.

I love sausages but hate the meaty ones so hardly ever have them. Also dislike any veggie sausages.

 

[Mark Parrott]

I like the meaty ones but my wife doesn't. So we will be buying our own sausages in the future.🙂 as for veggie sausages, I don't mind the taste but find the texture too soft.

What bangers do you have then, pat.y? I don't like the texture of meaty sausages and started eating veggie ones ages ago - when I was younger (many, many years before the dreaded D) I was vegetarian for some time. Some veggie bangers are better than others, though!

 

[pat.y]

When I have them I buy the butchers own regular ones not the more meaty ones.

 

[Mark Parrott]

Our butcher has some strange ones. Found some called Paddington Bear sausages that have marmalade in them!😱

My butcher does all sorts.
