Best sausages

[Lokina]

What are the best easily available sausages? From the butcher? Or supermarket? I'm not a sausage lover so they have to be really "nice" - no suspect hard chewy bits. Family is demanding a sausage-based meal and I want to find some good ones!

Butcher if you have a decent one. Mine does lovely sausages, no cereal at all, just a few herbs and spices.

We (DH more than most) really dislike even the nicest supermarket sausages.

I'm not keen on a lot of 'designer' sausages, those hand carved, purest 100% pork jobs. I think if I had to go for a favourite, one we eat most of the time, it would have to be Tesco finest Pork and Apple.

I get my sausages from a family member most of the time so as pp said an very fussy!
Definitely try a decent butcher they will be worth it.

Markies used to do a big pack of 20 butcher's best sausages. They were amazing, I once had 60 in my freezer when they had a 3 for £10 offer on!

Right! Butcher it is. And Tesco pork and apple on the list for next time I go there.

we have a superb sausage shop here with a massive range of very interesting sausages though we generally get the plainer ones. Virtually no fat comes off them, ever - very meaty

They do mail order www.cowmans.co.uk/ if you want to try something interesting

(I actually prefer the Finest/Taste the Diff ones but I get outvoted)

I'm not keen on poncey sausages - the 'and apple' or 'with red onion' etc type. The poncey filling is just an excuse to use less meat. I like Asda's Extra Special sausages - the 'and ...' tend to be only 83% meat but the pure pork sausage is 90% meat (iirc) for a good price.

Slightly off beat but bear with me
I am the same with sausages and have just eaten chicken ones - wow! The brand is Heck, got them from Tesco and they're called chicken italia. Really nice

14yo DS... who is the world's fussiest sausage eater... has declared the Sainsbury Ultimate Outdoor Reared Pork Sausages the best. 97% pork, not lumpy and not too smooth, no unnecessary/weird flavourings, not overboard on the pepper, not suspiciously pink in colour.....

Helen Browning Speedy Sausages from Sainsburys. Great for kilties too

Tesco Venison Sausages are excellent. Worth getting some diced venison as well for a Venison & Venison Sausage casserole.

Costco, 95% meat.

Even better fiver a pack, 18 in a pack.

They do pork, Cumberland, caramelised onion (which I find a bit sweet), Italian herb (not tried).

The black farmer ones are great. Gluten free too

Richard Woodall's, think they sell them at Teebay services and in Booths.

The ones from my butcher are amazing. I'd try the butcher first. Mine just uses meat and herbs/spices, no filler crap.

I did find suspect hard bits in the black farmer ones, but they were nice apart from that...(not buying them again)

A lady at work raves about the Heck ones mentioned above, and I want to try them

We like 'Heck' ones. Tesco sell them.. 97% pork
