How many people could you feed with 10 heck chicken Italia sausages? I'm trying to work out if I'm being greedy!

3 adults

Haworthia · 28/02/2020 20:14

They’re thin, so I’d say four per adult.

PorpentinaScamander · 28/02/2020 20:15

Depends how old the people are.
I cook 5 for me and ds (13) so 10 would do us 2 meals.

Pipandmum · 28/02/2020 20:17

My teenagers would eat three or four each easily. Adult three, under 10 two depending on what else is being served.

HundredMilesAnHour · 28/02/2020 20:18

I usually have 2, occasionally 3 if I'm really hungry. So I'd expect a pack of 10 to feed 3-4 adults unless they're used to having big portions of food.

CornishPasties · 28/02/2020 20:19

They are pretty skinny so I'd say 3 per adult and a spare one if someone was still hungry.

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 28/02/2020 20:40

They feed 2 here. I have 4, DH has 6. Everyone else making me feel like were well greedy!

AJPTaylor · 28/02/2020 20:43

2 adults.

AwdBovril · 28/02/2020 20:43

I would usually eat 1 sausage if I’m having mash or chips, 2 if not (assuming I’m having veg as well). DH could easily eat 5 if given the chance. DD (7) can eat 2 very comfortably.

ShirleyPhallus · 28/02/2020 20:44

That would feed a family of 5 for 2 nights over here, 1 each is plenty.

Served with small potato each and about 10 peas each and that would do us nicely.

DimplesMcGee · 28/02/2020 20:45

A family of 10 for 2 weeks. Cut up small.

Juanmorebeer · 28/02/2020 20:51

I can't get over people saying they would eat only 1 sausage. No way?

We are 2 adults and an 8 Yr old dd. A pack of 10 would mean 3 each and a fight over the remaining one. If she was out we would def eat 5 each anyway haha.

Herpesfreesince03 · 28/02/2020 20:55

It depends on which meal and which adult. 2 each for breakfast. For dinner I’ll eat 2, my oh will eat 4. I don’t know why you’re asking strangers how many sausages you should eat. If you’re overweight you’re likely eating too much and should review your portion sizes. If you’re a healthy weight then why care about what other people think about your sausage intake..

leghairdontcare · 28/02/2020 20:56

Presumably the people saying they'd only eat one don't actually like sausages?

Recommended serving is 2, I think.

Herpesfreesince03 · 28/02/2020 20:56

I’m sure @ShirleyPhallus is joking so ignore her Juan 😂

Forrandomposts · 28/02/2020 21:01

They're chipolatas not sausages So I would say 3 adults a

There's only something like 45 calories in each!

Myneighboursnorlax · 28/02/2020 21:03

We have a pack between us! Two adults, one meal.

stickerqueen · 28/02/2020 21:03

dd loves chicken sausages we normally get richmond chicken sausages but when they don't have them we get the Heck ones and everyone seems to need more heck ones dd has 4 hubby 5 ds only has 1. basically one packet don't feed us all

I8toys · 28/02/2020 21:06

1 makes my cat happy

tiredanddangerous · 28/02/2020 21:09

I personally couldn’t eat more than a quarter of one sausage. No wonder there’s an obesity crisis!

ShirleyPhallus · 28/02/2020 21:10

No @Herpesfreesince03, we measure our a thimble full of gravy too, any more than that and I’m stuffed. Sometimes enough leftover from dinner for breakfast the next day too.

Anyone who eats more than that is incredibly greedy imo

PeterPanGoesWrong · 28/02/2020 21:10

I have a tiny appetite, I mean like seriously teeny, my nearly 9 year old can eat more than me. I’d eat 2 sausages at a meal. Dh is vegetarian and has been for many years, but when he ate meat, he’d eat. 4/5 sausages for a meal, depending on if they were nice fat ones or skinny ones, if I was serving a heap of mash or just a few new potatoes etc.

10 sausages would feed three in this house.

CornishPasties · 28/02/2020 21:12

Im assuming some of the people on this thread are being sarcastic. Eating 3 sausages is honestly not the reason there is an obesity crisis. Grin

EverythingChanges321 · 28/02/2020 21:18

I used a pack of 8 fat sausages when I made sausage pasta bake yesterday for 4 adults. It did have other bits inc. peppers and a thick cheese and crumb topping though.

Generally, if I cook the 10yr old boys sausages with chips for instance, I’d give them 4 sausages each.

Littlepond · 28/02/2020 21:19

I’d easily eat 5
