to serve sausages to guests?

I love sausages (fnar fnar) and was thinking of doing a sausage and apple traybake type thing when we have friends over, but I'm not sure if it looks a bit...cheap? As opposed to doign a roast or something.

FWIW they would be the 96% meat ones- Debbie & Harry or something? rather than asda smart price ones.

what do you think?

Honestly - I wouldn't be impressed if served sausages when a guest as I don't eat them at home or when out for meals. Even good quality ones are imo - (admittedly it's been a while since I did any research) higher saturated fat and have added questionable bits called mechanically reclaimed meat than a joint, a chicken, prawns or a nice bit of fish.

However, if you did serve it to me I wouldn't dream of refusing it and would take one sausage and then fill up on veg, potato and dessert.

If you know your friends eat sausages then go for it. If unsure then perhaps ask saying 'Do you all eat sausages? I have been given a fab recipe for a traybake I was thinking of trying for a change...'

Sounds delicious.

Good quality sausages (more sniggering), lashings of onion gravy (with madeira if you are prone to booze in food), creamy potato mash made with a potato ricer and peas. You would win the hearts of 99% of the people I know. In fact, I did a posh dinner party (BC) with excellent sos and mash, ver ver good red wine and everyone raved about it. Plus you can make most ahead and spend your time boozing socialising with your guests.

Are we allowed to say nom-nom on here anymore or has that been decreed unacceptable by the Acceptable-on-MN Police? Grin

Sounds fab. I'd love it and so would dh and ds.

Planning on doing woopsidaisy's recipe tomorrow as have the ingredients in - thanks!

Can I state the bloomin' obvious? Any 'guest' likely to turn their nose up at sausages is not really worth the house room.

Nothing beats a really good, proper butcher's sausage - served with flavoured mash and some well fried onions.
