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

Question: how many Richmond sausages?

OP posts:
Shade17 · 11/11/2021 19:36

None. They’re only fit for dogs.

Even my dog’s dry food is 80% meat

@TalkSomeSense20 in just picturing you proudly slaughtering your own pigs now.

MorganKitten · 11/11/2021 19:38

None

DobbyTheHouseElk · 11/11/2021 19:39

Tilltheend99 I’ll have to try that, the sausages are so much nicer than Linda’s.

Ugzbugz · 11/11/2021 19:39

Vegetarian ones are great Smile

@Knifeandfawkes

None, they are absolute dog meat Envy
You feed them to your dog? Cruel!

Lovely, none thank you.

Richmond sausages are filth.

CornishGem1975 · 11/11/2021 19:41

LOL at the sausage snobbery, a new one for MN.

Love a Richmond Sausage me, there's a time in the place. Perfect in a sarnie at the weekend. Can't stand the "meaty" sausages.

In the dinner you've mentioned OP, I'd go for three.

CornishGem1975 · 11/11/2021 19:43

Most people wouldn't eat any sausages if they saw what went into them. My ex worked in a butchers and couldn't look at a sausage for years!

Isababybel · 11/11/2021 19:43

I only eat veggie sausages and tend to do 3 if the portion of mashed potato isnt too big, otherwise 2.

SpeakingFranglais · 11/11/2021 19:44

Just to add, that advert that used to be on “coming home” used to be a standing joke in our house. My Dc used to ask who 9n earth would rush home for a spoonful of mash, frozen peas and a couple of Richmond sausage.

Meh, meat is meat to me.
notangelinajolie · 11/11/2021 19:44

2 for me please. But can I have beans and mash with mine please Grin

@NeedsCharging

Ffs there are threads on here about food poverty. Parents genuinely struggling to feed their children balanced meals or infant meals at all and so many sealioning mumsnetter crowing about "giving to food banks" and "helping the poor" who then ridicule people who are buying what they view as cheap food so bad they wouldn't feed it to their dog!

You should be fucking ashamed.
Answer the OPS question don't post to belittle her.

But you can get far better quality sausages with twice as much meat, so would be more nutritious and filling, for the same money, so lack of money isn't a reason to buy them.
BurntO · 11/11/2021 19:45

None, sorry! The meat content is worrying.

I love the veggie ones though

EffOrfagain · 11/11/2021 19:46

The meaty ones do give DH heartburn, he can't lay down for hours after eating them so we have to have early dinner if it's sausages, I don't think Richmond do as much so it must be the pork content

Lampzade · 11/11/2021 19:46

They are bloody awful. Very oily

JohnNutLips · 11/11/2021 19:46

Probably 3 thick ones.
Ex-MIL used to eat them raw 😳

Bluetitsfly · 11/11/2021 19:46

Absolute dog shit. NONE

TalkSomeSense20 · 11/11/2021 19:46

[quote Tilltheend99]@TalkSomeSense20 in just picturing you proudly slaughtering your own pigs now.[/quote]
I don't slaughter them ....they go to 'that place' to be done. But it 's a small, well managed place and they go with me knowing they have been well fed, cared for, allowed to do what pigs do naturally. That makes me 'proud'. We know where they were born and the life they have lived. Not a wholesome as not eating meat full stop. But not as unwholesome as eating meat that you have not invested in personally.

EffOrfagain · 11/11/2021 19:47

Is pork that nutritious anyway

boyboyboydogdog · 11/11/2021 19:48

Awful things - no idea why so many people like them. So little meat in them I can't imagine they taste of anything but favouring and filler... butchers or if desperate, supermarket finest are so much better

Loudestcat14 · 11/11/2021 19:58

As many as you can fit on your plate, OP! I can't eat them since developing a gluten intolerance and I really miss them.

Iloveallofthem · 11/11/2021 20:06

None. They're fucking shit.

There are so many better sausages than those.

🤢

Rissole · 11/11/2021 20:14

They are made of eyeoles, earoles and assoles aren't they?
