Sausages

[Fitzgeraldo]

Having just suffered extreme disappointment following the ingestion of an eagerly anticipated (and thoroughly unsatisfactory) breakfast I am seeking the advice of local epicureans as to sourcing the best breakfast sausage.

My own experience reveals that most local supermarkets provide tasteless, textureless offerings that exude brown unpleasant liquids. ?Flock and Herd?: too much nutmeg, William Rose: rather bland.

All I want is a standard breakfast sausage that has texture, flavour and browns up nicely whether grilled or fried; might just benefit from addition of a soupcon of English mustard.

Any advice much appreciated.

Get some sausage skins and stuff your own.

Thus ensuring you have the right combinations of flavour and texture / meatiness

Scotch meats on Rosendale rd.They have a good selection of their own sausages and chipolatas. We like the Cumberland ones best.Their Toulouse ones are good too.

Try Old English from H A Smiths Nunhead

I like Lidl's outdoor bred range ( 90% meat ) and am about to try Jolly Hog ( Sainsbury) proper porkers as highly recommended by friend.

M&S pork sausage

The come in packs of 6 or eight

They pretty much hit the spot

HECK brand are nice (maybe a bit salty for my taste) and Black Farmer are good too.

Ultimate sausages are Heaps No 1

Nip up to Borough Market and go to The Ginger Pig.

Rose's standard bangers are a tad meh but their cumberland chipolatas are perfection for a breakfast sossidge.

Not Linda McCartney's. No.

I'd actually go for the massive beef sausages with marrow (proper beef bone marrow, that is) as sold at The Butchery SE23. Gorgeous. Fry your eggs quickly in the fat when your sausies are ready.

smiths sausages from nunhead are pretty good . they make them themselves and are an independant butcher

As far a supermarket sausages go, the Jolly Hog brand Sainsbury?s and Waitrose stock is decent, really good meat content, very well seasoned.

My sausage making course is coming up on the "You Are What You Eat" season that we're about to commence safely filming outdoors. To become involved please send two members of your family to the venue (likely Goose Green) and ?100 to cover entry and coaching. After the session we shall return just one family member and between 75 and 100 beautiful sausages.

I recommend Heck?s Newmarket pork sausage, 97% pork.

Personally I prefer a thick sausage, but I am well aware of Chipolata lovers, and I wouldn?t say no if the correct one came along.

I do like a nice big sausage, oh Matron!!

But seriously, there are lots of butchers in the vicinity, some closer than others to choose from that you can try out and find the sausage you most enjoy. I prefer mine with buttery mashed potato, peas and onion gravy.

[Loutwo]

I?m with you on buttery mash and onion gravy.

I miss Kennedy?s Sausages of Peckham fame.
