Heinz Beans and Sausages

Oh and I've very often had NINE sausages in my Aldi tin of B&Ss. Just saying......
This is going to turn out like Saturday Kitchen and their wine recommendations isn't it?
Or when Aldi and Lidl get the Stollen bites in.
Empty shelves.
Aldi red kidney beans in chilli sauce are also better than Waitrose.

Which baked bean ranking after taste testing

That's not strictly true... This is copied from Wiki, but I know the 42% is correct as one of my biggest clients is a sausage manufacturer, and makes sausages for 3 of the big supermarkets!

There are various laws concerning the meat content of sausages in the UK. The minimum meat content to be labelled pork sausages is 42% (30% for other types of meat sausages), although to be classed as meat, the pork can contain 30% fat and 25% connective tissue. Often the cheapest supermarket pork sausages do not have the necessary meat content to be described as pork sausages and are simply labelled sausages

@PickAChew oh I will try those !! Sound lovely

Their pepper and nutmeg ones are nicely seasoned to go with baked beans. They've messed about with their No. 1 sausages (like they have their toilet roll) and they're not as nice as they used to be :(

If anyone wants great gluten free sausages I recommend Waitrose kick number 1 Cumberland. So meaty you can cook one and chop it into Branson beans for a great meal -

You can remove the skin by using a knife and gently scoring the sausage; it usually comes right off, unless it is too thin. I do this usually for sausage rolls, rather than a sausage meat block.
I used to like the skinless ones as a child, but it was the 90s, and full of turkey dinosaurs, sunny d and general crap food. I dread to think what the meat content was back then as well!
I haven't tried Richmond in years, so no idea how they are these days.

I think they are as they have different barcodes. Someone at work put them out with the other Heinz and sausages. Didn't check on if they had the same SKU.

But not gf.

Oh piss!

My mum used to buy the skinless sausages. They were revolting 🤢

I have had to switch to these. The new sausages are awful 😞

I'm not alone, nobody else gets it!! I used to cut the ends off as well, yuk. It seems the skins are either too thick, or too thin, the thin ones can't be easily removed, so you end up with little pieces still attached. 🤢
I drove my parents crazy to the point they found the skinless ones at the time! I remember thinking finally!

@ReallyNotsobad I also have an aversion to sausages with skins.
My mother used to make a sausage casserole and I can always remember fishing the condom like skins out before they made me gag.

I actually really like Richmond's frozen veggie sausages. Just not with beans. Freshly cooked mash, with plenty of butter and black pepper, that'll do nicely. 😋

Oh I remember having the skinless ones in the 90s, because I hates sausage skin! My parents had to get them in specially 😂
I am a bit weary of brands sometimes now, as feel they use their name to churn them out. I used to love lidl's delux, but they have now changed, and taste smooth and a bit rubbery rather than meat Tescos used to be nice, but no idea what they're like now.

Richmond are our sausage of choice for a cooked breakfast so OH was quite excited that his dirty secret standby meal now used them.
They were £2 a tin st Tesco so he bought their own brand instead.

No I agree. We couldn't get away with them either. The beans themselves seemed hard and really pale. My 7 year old wouldn't eat them, even with ketchup mixed into the sauce.

I know, I honestly don't understand why so many people still buy and rave about roses/quality street/heros etc, I can only think it is a kind of tradition, as it is want they have always gotten. They're also always on deal in their forever shrinking tins before Christmas.

There are very few chocolates I like now. Digestives have changed and may as well be labelled as a rich tea they're so bland. The dark chocolate ones I used to love, but the chocolate is now so thin on top. The unbranded digestives aren't great either, so I am yet to find a replacement with that rich addictive taste we all know and love.

I'm sick of this sort of thing happening.
Rowntree's fruit pastilles - the individual flavours have disappeared.
McVities Digestive Biscuits and dark chocolate Biscuits - taste foul now.
ALL Cadbury's chocolate.
The rank taste of Quality street and Roses chocolates...
plenty more that I can't think of right now but I empathise with you OP.

They've changed the Asda sausages and beans too!

Sainsbury's version is the best.
I find store beans a bit shite usually (m&s beans have a sweaty smell...) but Sainsbos beans are great
The Sainsbury's Beans with sausages is like heaven (add some cheese and black pepper nom)

DH is a lifelong devotee and has switched to Aldi’s own. I can’t comment as I don’t like them but he seems happy.

I've never been able to eat that shit since the first time I tried it and it wasn't sausage, it was disgusting mushy hotdog.

If it's real miniature richmonds, like little cocktail sausages, yabu op. That'd be a great improvement.
