Richmond sausages

So tea tonight is: mash, Richmond sausages, brocolli, one small Yorkshire pudding and gravy.

Question: how many Richmond sausages?

I imagine it's because they are cheap and lots of people are on very limited budgets and they can't afford meaty sausages

I'd say most basic supermarket sausages are cheaper but contain almost twice as much meat .

Starcaller · 11/11/2021 18:18

I often buy expensive sausages from the butchers but I'd still scarf down Richmond and mash Grin I'm a woman of many and varied tastes and standards. Enjoy your dinner!

WildImaginings · 11/11/2021 18:19

Oh I bloody love the veggie Richmond sausages.

I would have 2 or 3 depending on how much of everything else I had on my plate. I would definitely have more yorkshires though, 1 is never enoughShock

@Slub

Nowt wrong with Richmond Sausages. I always have a bag in the freezer for ad hoc sausage sarnie/casserole/toad in hole. The snobbery on here is ridiculous 🤷‍♂️
It's not snobbery if something is disgusting. Which Richmond Sausages are. Even my husband agrees and he eat those vile hot dogs in a jar. Envy (not envy)

I like them because they're smooth and hate bitty sausages, I'd have 2

Inlander · 11/11/2021 18:23

The vegan ones are tasty. I’d have 2 or 3.

Mindymomo · 11/11/2021 18:23

We like Richmond sausages, but usually if we have them for breakfast as they are quick to cook.

LadyCatStark · 11/11/2021 18:24

None because they’re horrible but I understand that needs must. YABU to only have one Yorkshire pudding though, the ratio of sausages to Yorkshire puddings should be 1:1.

CovidPassQuestion · 11/11/2021 18:24

The sausages we buy are 97% meat.
If you're going to kill animals, go big!

Totally agree. Asda extra special ones are much nicer and the same price as a pack of Richmond in our Asda.

Asda own frozen sausages contain 32% pork
Richmond frozen sausages contain 42% pork.

Really you are just being a snob.

PooWillyNameChange · 11/11/2021 18:26

@Shade17

I wouldn’t even feed them to my dog. Such low meat content they’re not even allowed to be called “pork” sausages IIRC.
I don't think that's true...they are low meat but they say pork. I know because I avoid the real ones! If that were true surely you wouldn't be able to have chicken on 'chicken soup', etc?

I've never tried the real ones but the veggie ones are lush and I always have 2-3.

EishetChayil · 11/11/2021 18:26

Richmond veggie sausages are the absolute tits, incidentally. Can't speak for the meat ones.

I would have three.

user1491404899 · 11/11/2021 18:27

Only one small yorkshire??????

FingersofFish · 11/11/2021 18:27

I absolutely hate them but I reckon a serving of sausages is 3 per adult.

KrispyKremeDream · 11/11/2021 18:28

I can eat three no probs so a bloke would need at least four. I've seen my partner eat 6-8 at a bbq.

1forAll74 · 11/11/2021 18:28

Why are they advertised as the best sausages in England, when they taste and look horrible.

Sally872 · 11/11/2021 18:28

3 for me, 2 for my 11 year old, 6 year old has a big appetite so takes 3. Dh would take 4. I feel 3 isn't enough but 4 too many.

Love them. Always thought they would be horrible but tried them elsewhere and pleasantly surprised so would buy them now.

Biker47 · 11/11/2021 18:28

None.

They do nothing to break the stereotype that sausages are mostly made up of pigs eyelids and arseholes, because they tastes exactly as if those are the major components of a Richmond "sausage".

They're horrible, nations favourite, my arse.

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 11/11/2021 18:30

Is this Richmond going a survey?

MzHz · 11/11/2021 18:30

@JurgensCakeBaby

None they are vile
100%

Why? Just why?

Have you had covid and lost all taste?

Unreasonabubble · 11/11/2021 18:30

I am really relieved to find so many people saying Richmond sausages are vile! They really are!!!

Georgyporky · 11/11/2021 18:31

DH bought some once. I cooked & gave him the whole pack, & I had a piece of real meat instead.

ThackeryBinks · 11/11/2021 18:31

I bought DP a bbq smoker thingy last Christmas. My DSS only eat Richmonds so we smoked some for horrific blended family bbq day! They were awesome, seriously delicious! The kids asked us why we never cook normal food. Don't know what they mean?! Grin

DillonPanthersTexas · 11/11/2021 18:33

The fact that they are made out of lips, ears and arseholes would be enough for me not to eat them, add the fact that they have the texture of playdoh and the anaemic colour of a two day old cadaver just makes them completely off the menu.
