To ask how many sausages for an adult portion

[greathat]

Went to MILs for dinner today. She's done a sausage and bean casserole :P We got one sausage each. When SIL asked if we were on rations MIL pointed out that beans were protein too.... I do 2-3 sausages for an adult depending on size and meat content. How many do you do?

I of course mean x4 Richmond thin sausages. Never actually had the bigger ones!!

My toddler gets 1 sausage! The 5 year old can eat 2 sometimes. Adults get 2-3.

3 for an adult. Ds is 22 months old and puts one away with no problems Nd often begs for mine!

Gosh, I'm suprised how many of you would eat 3 sausages as standard! I'd feel like a right porker if I did that

I'd probably do 1.5 or 2, just because it's tastier to have plenty of meat. But your MIL's right that the beans are protein and you don't really need more.

(That said, being stingy with guests isn't attractive - surely everyone makes generous portions for visitors?)

DH and I would eat a packet between us, probably two for me and four for him, as sausages aren't my favourite. One is ridiculous.

2 or 3

the low fat ones tend to have more meat.

Richmond are very poor, despite their heavy advertising which suggests they are going to be good.

We usually have 3 fat butcher's sausages each. We also have 3 each when we have chipolatas. If they don't all get eaten then they're used cold the next day - nothing like a sausage and egg sandwich in the morning! Loads of brown sauce.... ooh, I haven't eaten properly for days and I'm bloody hungry. I have to stop thinking of food.....

3 in this household kids get 2, sometimes me and OH will have 4 depends on what is going with it.

tellme
So I can sleep tonight .. 😂 You need to explain .. 8 sausages in a casserole that does 5 portions and each gets 2 sausages minimum ...
How ?!?!?

Also . 1 sausage is a joke . 2-3 minimum

Two or three

One is stingy. This sounds similar to the MIL who only did two roast potatoes, one slice of beef, two broccoli florets, seven carrot slices....

That was the canopes sorted sausage

What was for dinner

3 plus 1 for the cat.

For dinner? I would say 1 is enough

2 or 3, depending if they are thick or thin. God my 20 month old can eat 2..

Six

2 for sausage and mash or similar. But we use 3 sausages between 4 in sausage casserole - we chop them up. Fill up on beans and veg.

Sausage and mash would be 2 or 3, but in a casserole I'd use fewer. She is right, the beans are likely to be full of protein. I guess it depends what else it were bulked out with.

I make Jamie Olivers sausage bake alot and do 3 sausages each. Usually the pork and caramelised onion ones from tesco. If I get the chipolata style ones then 4/5 each.

2 or 3. (I buy the Tesco finest caramelised onion ones. In fact, I think I am addicted.)

I should also add that I would two or three for me and DH but would probably do four for everyone else as most people I know eat far more than we do.

4-5 but only because my DB never eats his share (hates sausages apparently ) and my mum makes a bloody delicious sausage casserole

2 definitely.

Surprised how many have 3. Perhaps this explains why it is so hard to buy packs of 8 now. It's all 6s recently. So annoying for a family of 4.

In a sausage and bean casserole, if I cut the sausages into chunks 1.5 would be fine.

Generally 2, maybe 3

It's true that you need fewer in a casserole but I chop them up so it's not so obvious and serve it with nice crusty bread
