bruno22rf Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) "The Black Farmer" do some nice sausages but it's a shame you are not closer as we have a Farm nearby that makes sausages to an old English recipe - they use their own pork and pay a Butcher to visit the farm one day a week to joint all the meat etc - think they are about 96% Pork from memory and no fat comes out of them when cooking - amazing. As for Richmond we normally get them for 1p/pack as they reach their sell by date and the other half makes Sausage Rolls out of them adding Caramelised Onion Chutney to give some flavour.

Our local one is Puddledub, which you can now get at any of the farmers markets and farm shops near fife. 5min south of Cluny clays for the farm but also now have a butcher shop in kirkcaldy. One of the few places that you can get pork cheeks (which my wife loves) or other non-standard cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 My exes daughter would eat no other sausages, but she was a bit strange. Do they have real meat in them ? That pink colour is very off putting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Richmond contain 42% Pork and cost around the £2 mark - same content as Sainsbury's at 80p/pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think 42% meat means they can call them sausages rather than bangers which I think are 40% or less meat. We like making sausages, they’re not hard to make and it’s a bit of a laugh to make them with the wife ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Lashfords, made in one of the outer suburbs (Hall Green?) of Brum, their "breakfast" sausages are very nice! But I may not be a good judge, because I like Walls frozen sausages in a full English! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Missus is cooking tonight, we are having Richmond sausages, mash and beans. Beans are Heinz so not all bad. Tbh she would ruin expensive sausages anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Oh... I quite like Richmond's sausages - especially the next day, in a buttered roll. They taste a lot better than many other brands. Sad to say I rarely use my local butcher. Living alone/cooking for one, it's a travel well out of my way to justify it. I need to get into the habit of batch buying enough for a month or 2 and then freezing it all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I would not touch **** sausages. I am very lucky and keep a few pigs and when slaughtered I have some sausages made from their meat and they are fabulous. Best ever is a fry up is using sausage and bacon (home cured) from my pigs, eggs from our chickens, tomatoes from our garden and if I am lucky a mushroom or two that I have found when out with the dogs.
