Sausages..how many does everyone eat?

[plus3]

Sorry if a silly question..I buy Tesco's finest sausages = 6 in a pack. We are DH, DS 4.6, DD 2.2 and my good self. How many sausages should it take to feed us? I only ask because I suspect I am over feeding everyone!

I'd have 2 or 3, DH would have 3 or 4, kids - 2.

So 2 packs is reasonable for supper? Just thought it seemed alot until they are on the plates!

I would eat 3 of those, so would DP. I would share out 2 of them between the DSs (2.5 and 5.5) - slightly more in favour of the older one!

But sausages are my weakness I have to say

Generally we would all have 3. I buy two packs of 6 and we share the 12 between us. (DCs are 16 and 13).

ah, but what if they're chipolatas ?

I would eat 4, DS would eat two or three.

my DS's are 8,4 and 16 months - I would do 3 for DS1, 2 for DS2, and 1 for DS3, 3 for me, then we usually have mash, bacon, eggs, beans and mushrooms too

funny you asked this, i have just cooked a packet of 16.

DD had 4
DS had 2
DS had 2
I had 2

3 dogs had 1 each

3 in fridge for cold ones in packed lunch tommo.

DH abroad but would have had 4

Chipolatas are for breakfast so 3 each plus eggs etc would be fine..

If there are only 6 in a pack.

DH 2
me 2
the children 1 each

we buy the 8 packs and in this house

DH = 2
DS 1 (he's 11 )= 2
DS 2 (he's 8 ) = 2
Me = 2

children of 2 and 4 years of age wouldnt need more than 1 each I wouldnt have thought, I'd assume there would be potatoes or chips and veg with that as well.
That'll be plenty

I would have 2, ds(4) would have 1-2

I found, when we started buying the Sainsbury Extra Special Sausages, that if I bought a packet of 12 Chipolatas/long thin ones, everyone was happy with just 3 of those. Whereas they would want 3 fat ones if I did those.!

I recently tried a fab one-pot recipe for Mexian Chilli Sausages, where 8 bog standard sausages were enough (but chopped up and ooked in with rice, toms, kidney beans etc), so that was another cheap meal.

Served with mash and peas...DS has just eaten 2.5, DD 2 and me 1.5 (on the side)

Miliways - I agree am sure it's all about number of sausages rather than quantity. Like the sound of the mexican chilli sausage thing - where's that from?

oh served with just mash and peas DS1 would probably have 4, DS3 and me 4 - DS3 would still just have the one as he tends to just pull them to pieces still

It's such a great supper (sigh) Not sure what to give DH now as am now lacking in sausages

Dh and I would eat 3-4
dd1 - 2
dd2 - 1-2
dd3 - 1/2

Basically - two packs leave enough for me to have a sausgae sandwich later in the week

Ok here's a another question - do you slice your cold sausages up for the sandwich or leave them whole..(think am a tad sausage obsessed this evening..)

I slice them lengthways through the middle, then use 4 halves in a sandwich. Perfect!

In a sandwich (lunch) 2.
For an evening meal (with mash or toad in the hole) 3-4 (depending on size).

Dh would have the same. The dcs can't/won't eat them.

Must be sliced lengthways for an sandwich. Then covered in chilli sauce rather than ketchup!

mm, cooking sausages now - 3 each plus mash, peas, onion gravy and yorkshire puds!

i'd have 2 tesco finest - i may expect 3 cheap ones though

I would give a man three, I would have two, ds1 would have 2, ds2 would have 1.

But just for me and kids, I would have 2.5, ds2 would have 2 and ds2 would have 1.5 - just to avoid the spare sausage
