To think that the only acceptable form of sausages is Cumberland, Plain Pork, or Lincolnshire?

Just had a caramelised onion sausage. I was super excited as I bought them from Ocado, the brand The Jolly Hog. The sausages are super meaty and look good and are a good size

But omg ewwwwww

A sweet tasting sausage is the worst thing on earth. I'm sat here disappointed whilst dd(6) has the time of her life munching on them (she apparently isnt bothered 😭)

This also happened when I tried maple sausages. What an afternoon that was!

Anyway - anyone who is buying caramelised onion sausages or any other variant, is despicable!

The sooner these travesties to the good sausage name are taken off the market, the better!

I like the pork and apple ones, though my favourite is the spicy lamb ones

Edit for double post.

I had a good bratwurst earlier, and I like a Glamorgan sausage once in a while, whuch is meat-free. I'm also quite keen on sausage in the form of peperoni, salami, etc. And black sausage and square sausage for breakfast. Haggis is a type of sausage which is also good.

I agree that caramelised onion is too sweet, but I've had a pork & leek sausage with was good.

So I agree that sweet sausages are wrong, but I think your list of acceptable sausages is far too short.

What about Toulouse sausages? Or pork and leek? In fact, there are all sorts of varieties that do not involve sweetness, if that is not your thing.

My vote goes to the tomato sausage, long established in my part of the world.

I love tomato sausages, I like caramelised onion sausage depending on brand as some can be a bit sickly (the aldi top range ones are nice) and I love lincolnshire sausages. I'm not particularly fond of others.

Bramley apple anyone . I liked Tesco finest Christmas sausages last year . Haven’t seen them yet this year .

I love a Cumberland sausage and I live in Cumberland. That said, I also like a caramelised as well as a pork and apple

Frankfurters (if you ignore what's in them) taste wonderful, and a good old-fashioned beef sausage can't be beaten. Sausage variants from Spain and Italy are generally heavenly, and we'll let France claim a bit of kudos for their saucisson efforts 😀
