How many sausages is too many?

Chipolatas, specifically. Naice ones.

DH out for pizza and cinema with the elder DC, toddler in bed so I'm going for the healthy option of sausage sandwich for tea. 5 left in the packet, 3 is my usual number of choice to comfortably fill the sandwich and satisfy the craving, but leaving 2 chipolatas seems silly. Lashings of ketchup, obviously.

YANBU - eat all five
YABU - stop right there little miss piggy, too many!

I ate a 6 pack of tesco finest pork and apple sausages in one sitting the other day for dinner with mash, they were nice.

Don't regret. Have a peppermint tea 😄

I don't understand the question.

What is you cholesterol level? Sausages are a big NO.

ItGhoul · 15/02/2025 19:08

Chipolatas? Eat the lot, mate.

Thats so wrong I'd have to cut it in half width ways with 2 fully in tact chipolatas on each side.

It works!
Plus they don't roll out of the toast!

I cut sausages in half down the middle for sandwiches.
So there would be 6 half with 3.

Cook all 5. Eat what you can manage and have the left overs before bed or for lunch tomorrow!

MaterCogitaVera · 15/02/2025 19:00

This'll turn up as a maths problem on this year's GCSEs, guaranteed.

MinnieMountain · 15/02/2025 18:58

2 for a starter with a different sauce, 3 in the sandwich.

I ate all 5 🐷. Now experiencing equal parts enjoyment and regret. They were delicious though.

Girl. Cook them all.

Three for your super healthy sandwich.

Two snacking sausages for later.

Job's a good'un.

5 chipolatas, maybe 3 in the sandwich and 2 on the side is what I would have, otherwise the other 2 wouldn’t get eaten and have to be thrown away. My freezer is full of 2 or 3 sausages, which I doubt will ever be eaten.

Sausage tray bake.

Sausages in a roasting tin, cut into chunks. Onion, carrots, potatoes, courgettes, mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil, bake in the oven. Make mash. Yum. Doesn't matter that they might be all different types.

Chipolatas are tiny! Have a luxurious sandwich with them all 😄

3 chipolatas in a sandwich is not enough. Has to be 4 or 6 otherwise it'll be all uneven when you cut it. I'd cook all 5 - 4 in the sandwich and 1 to eat separately.

Get two packs they are tiny

AgnesX · 15/02/2025 18:45

10% who reckon that 5 is too many 😁

Cook all 5. 3 for your sandwich and 2 to snack on tomorrow

This is the correct answer.

shellyleppard · 15/02/2025 18:43

Use 3 in the sandwich then two for snacking later 🤣🤣

Savemefromwetdog · 15/02/2025 18:43

The limit does not exist.

arcticpandas · 15/02/2025 18:42

You can get five across a piece of bread. Don't ask me how I know
