Best Supermarket Sausages?

41 replies

Made a Sausage Casserole yesterday with Tesco Pork Sausages, very disappointed in the overall quality.

What supermarket sausage do you consider full of flavour and not cheap tasting please?

Sainsburys TTD, Tesco finest

MightyFlow · 30/11/2025 09:45

Sainsbury's. With caramelised onion or the meaty one which has a higher proportion of pork. The one with herbs (either Lincolnshire or Cumberland) tastes awful, very chemical taste. Or at least it used too - I stopped buying that one years ago.

my nearest Sainsbury’s is miles away:(

I should have got Finest but I was shopping online and didn’t think.

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference ones are all lovely, we like the Lincolnshire ones.

Larymarylary · 30/11/2025 09:54

M & S, they’re the only ones I will eat now.

@MightyFlow the Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Lincolnshire ones are really lovely. They used to be awful.

TeaandHobnobs · 30/11/2025 09:57

Co-op are our favourite - particularly caramelised onion

These are really good when I can get to a Food Hall. I think I just told myself there wouldn’t be much difference in the quality with Tesco and there really was

Anything made by The Jolly Hog. Usually available in supermarkets (not Lidl or Aldi I think).

I just had their "leek porkers" this week and they were some of the best I've had in years.

Not for a casserole but Lidls chicken chipolatas are gorgeous.

Look for the highest meat content, whatever shop you get them from.
My fave is Sainsbo 98% pork.

getmeseven · 30/11/2025 10:49

Asda exceptional range are lovely!

Linenpickle · 30/11/2025 10:49

M&s only

TonTonMacoute · 30/11/2025 11:01

Black Farmer are my favourites. My local Tesco has them

karmakameleon · 30/11/2025 11:13

Porky Whites are good. I buy them in Asda.

SpiceGhoul · 30/11/2025 11:20

My OH loves the Asda Exceptional classic pork ones, the ones that come in a pack of 10.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 30/11/2025 11:22

M&S are the best but Jolly Hog are also really good.

JBJ · 30/11/2025 11:41

Morrisons The Best pork sausages are really tasty. My favourite though are Costco ones when I can be bothered to go!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/11/2025 11:53

Thanks Everyone I might be at Costco this week so that’s handy

Tesco finest would be our go to , I prefer them to the M&S ones

Hohumdedum · 30/11/2025 12:36

Morrisons Best are nice and high pork %.

Crikeyalmighty · 30/11/2025 12:38

M&s , Waitrose kick number1 Cumberland and a few of the higher range independents , jolly hog, black farmer etc

YourWinter · 30/11/2025 12:39

Jolly Hog, they still have proper casings instead of the vile alginate muck that so many use instead. I used to prefer Finnebrogues Naked range because they don’t use nitrites, but even they had changed the casings.

Myblueclematis · 30/11/2025 13:01

I bought Lidl Deluxe Toulouse sausages, high meat content and have garlic and red wine in them. I thought they were really nice and am having them again today. I usually buy Lincolnshire sausages from either Lidl or Aldi and find them nicer than some of the bigger brands.

Occasionally I buy Jolly Hogg or Porky Whites and if in the local small town, the butchers sausages as they are nice too.

The only ones I wasn't that impressed with were Morrisons and Waitrose plain pork sausages.

Mistyglade · 30/11/2025 13:04

Aldi pork and apple are our favourites. Never let us down, delicious.
