Tesco Sausage

[barry1010]

Help needed! I can't get to my butcher and he can't get to me. Family is begging for my fabulous toad in the hole and the only place I can buy the sausages from is Tesco.

There is a huge selection - can you recommend any? Must be ordinary pork sausage with no extras such as tomatoes or leek.

[Arksided]

I will, I haven't put in my next order yet so will put them in :-)

[Barsel]

eleanor the ones you like contain white pepper, black pepper, nutmeg extract and mace extract, so I wouldn't buy them as they would be too spicy for me. I never add salt, pepper or any spice to anything so my food is very bland to some, but it's fine for me
Hope barry enjoys his toad in the hole.
I never mastered that dish, my ex used to call it 'frog in a bog!'

Hi Barsel, yes they do but I can honestly say you can't taste it. My husband & granddaughter do not like Spivey sausage & they will eat these.

[eleanor2]

*spicey*

[eleanor2]

Oops, let’s get it right! ... Spicy!

[eleanor2]

Hope you like them Ark! I've looked for a long time for a thin skinned tasty sausage that doesn't cost the earth. Let me know what you think of them x

[Barsel]

eleanor the reviews for these sausages is good, only 3 out of 20 said they didn't like them, so will put them on my next Tesco shop.

[eleanor2]

Yes they have good feedback Barsel. The test of a good thin skinned sausage is if you can prick them easily with a fork, and these you can.

[Arksided]

I will do Eleanor, it won't be 'til mid Feb but will let you know.
I do hope that Barry's cooking sensation went well.

Thumbs up & a wink Ark! ;0)

After all that Tesco substituted my order for Jolly Hog pork sausage. Very nice they were, too

[pastafreak]

Were they? I've seen them at Sainsbury's and wondered what they are like.

[Barsel]

Good substitute barry, dearer than the Tesco ones. Outdoor reared and gluten free. Well I have the Tesco ones on my list for tomorrow, so if they don't get substituted, I'll try these next time.

[Mamyalynne]

Typical after all that, glad you got some that were good Barry.

[barry1010]

The skins were soft, no 'snap', but preferable to tough skins. I could tell they had a high meat content, were tasty without being over peppered or spice. I will buy them again until I can get to my butcher. I will also try the Tesco own that I originally ordered.

[Patsy33]

I think we're all going to try those now, Barry!

[Barsel]

Tesco will be wondering why the sudden rush for sausages. Have they been on master chef or has Nigella been using them? No, just our barry spreading the word!

[barry1010]

Ha ha. I might try Jolly Hogg bacon too
