I think it looks yummy!

JuniperBeer · 18/11/2018 22:33

Looks delicious! It’s from their party food range.
Just a way of displaying sausages on a buffet. Nice gastro pub near us does the same on their party menus.

silkpyjamasallday · 18/11/2018 22:34

It looks too much like entrails for me to want to eat it. I agree OP, it is quite disturbing.

ThereWillBeAdequateFood · 18/11/2018 22:34

Omg that looks amazing.

You could put it in the worlds biggest Yorkshire pud and have Xmas toad in the hole.

Sorry op I love it

toffee1000 · 18/11/2018 22:34

What’s wrong with that? The skewers? That’s just to keep the sausages in place while they cook. Remove them before you eat them.

MeredithGrey1 · 18/11/2018 22:39

It does look a little bit like a prop from an episode of game of thrones or similar where someone’s stomach has been sliced and guts have spilled..
But in fairness you could probably say that about any regular string of sausages.

alleypalley · 18/11/2018 22:39

Looks entirely unappetising

FlippinNora1 · 18/11/2018 22:42

I’d eat that, looks proper tasty

Greensleeves · 18/11/2018 22:42

google "volvulus"

SuperStellaElla · 18/11/2018 22:43

I wasn't thinking stomach and guts myself but it does resemble those too......

It looks like a wreath made of intestines.

PristineCondition · 18/11/2018 22:46

A sausage fest!

~sniggers~

PersonaNonGarter · 18/11/2018 22:46

I’m with you, OP.

Looks like a prop for a battle scene.

TheDogAteMySock · 18/11/2018 22:51

Looks like gut wreath.

arranfan · 18/11/2018 23:01

Looks like gut wreath.

Waitrose is obviously selling stage props for Jacobean Tragedies given that Mr Kipling cornered the Nativity Play market.

(The accounts for one tragedy listed the expense of the sheep's pluck that had to be purchased as the stage effect for a disembowelment scene.)

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 18/11/2018 23:01

I'm not squeemish in the slightest and I see gut wreath too.
And it's just ... too red.

BumbleBeee69 · 18/11/2018 23:03

it's a No from me Grin

PodgeBod · 18/11/2018 23:06

Very unappetising to me and I doubt they would cook evenly.

LadyPasserine · 18/11/2018 23:06

One can buy a wreath of bread at Harvest Festival so sausages at Christmas are OK.

Lonelynessie · 18/11/2018 23:08

I find these from Sainsburys stranger:

I've got it, it's a festive Tauntaun wreath, butchered for us by Hans Solo:

And I thought they smelled bad on the outside

nakedscientist · 18/11/2018 23:24

IT looks horrible! Guts/eels/penis wreath anyone?

Not fancying the sprout or bacon tea either 😀

arranfan · 18/11/2018 23:27

IT looks horrible! Guts/eels/penis wreath anyone?

Gunther Grass' The Tin Drum and the scene of the eels writhing out of the horse's head?

nakedscientist · 18/11/2018 23:36

Good god! I'm with the retching woman in red!!!!

puzzledlady · 18/11/2018 23:41

I think it looks great. Different strokes and all that OP Wink
