Thanks guys. Was a bit rushed trying to preserve temperature so could've been better but fairly pleased.

I found the commonly available harrissa (Barts) to be pretty pants. The proper stuff should blow your head off.

The stuff I used to get from France (Le Phare du Cap Bon) was brill and according to the font of all knowledge that is google, it's now available in Asda: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices... - 75p for a tube. Bloody bargain.

Cheers, chaps.

Try this with a tin of cider. You'll thank me.

Make gravy with the cider afterwards. Simply gorgeous.

[woody2846]

I will report back next week. Thank you.

I have purchased some reduced, but might fine sounding sausages from the deli and i'm stuck as to what I do with them. Obviously I need to taste them, so can't through them in a pasta or something. What'd be best?

Toad in the hole is what I've come up with. Or bangers and mash, but that sits heavy.

[GWC]

Sausage, chips and beans/egg if they're standard pork sausages?

[grumbledoak]

Bangers and mash is the best thing to do with good sausages.

[calibrax]

Sausages on white bread with butter and smear of ketchup. Nothing else is needed.

[exgtt]

BBQ, some decent bread, pasta and salad. The sausages cant hide from that!

[Blown2CV]

i dunno... sausages, boston beans and oven bottom muffins...
