Mister Gain 1,759 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Couple of years ago a mate and his wife looked after the dog when we went to Aussie. We bought a bulk lot of Richmond sausages for the dogs breakfast... the fcuker wouldn't touch them. My mate said don't worry they didn't go to waste and they were bl00dy lovely... told him he could keep the rest. The dog still won't eat them. TBH I'm not a fan of any commercial sausages which is why I first got into making sausages, and with well sourced pork and careful butchery you end up with the very best sausages. 12 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, you're O.K as the 10% pork fat means it's over half meat with sodium metabisulphite for extra flavour and cochineal to make it pink rather than grey. Yum Yum. Made my mouth water typing that.

Lenmcharristar 9,183 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 hard to get good sausages these days I agree, denny and the mass produced chemical crap are poor excuses and no doubt dangerous to the human being Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,291 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Sausages by there very nature are a meat source made of offal and waste from times when peasants could,nt get there hands an quality cuts of meat, like faggots, haggis,burgers and corned beef, and yet people are moaning about the ingredients of one type of sausage, if you don't want to eat shite don't eat sausages full stop, it's like saying one bit of shit is better than another bit of shit, if your worried about what meat you eat kill or rear your own and if you can't support a proper butcher in your area before he's been replaced by aldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live downwind of the docks that import coal and export food waste, a sewerage plant and Astra Zeneca also the m5 motorway is a 100 yards away so I get my daily dose of chemicals by breathing, at least you get a nice taste in your mouth from the ones in sausages and let's be fair they even put chemicals in water so it's probably easier not to read the label and just eat what you enjoy in moderation and live an active lifestyle, that's were I am in my diet anyway 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Real proper sausages are nice - the farm shop on one of my permissions does their own, from their own pigs. There's a lot of meat in those, they almost fall apart when you're eating them. They taste bloody good. But, for nice quick, simple grub, I'm well happy with Richmond or Walls - it's a kind of pork paste in a sausage skin. They're nice off the barbecue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
