Rubbish sausages from M&S

[hungry_hog]

The last few months I have been buying sausages from from various local butchers and have been mightily impressed.

Today fancied a sausage butty and obviously most butchers were shut so decided on M&S. Picked up a pack of 6 for £3 (so not cheapo range by any means)

I have to say they're absolute rubbish. Watery and tasteless, with a rubbery skin. If you try and cook them longer they just go dry and crumbly.

Has anyone found decent supermarket sausages? Seem to recall some brand called Black Sheep mentioned and Duchy has been recommended as well.

The 'Debbie & Andrew's' ones from Sainsbury's aren't too bad - 97% meat.

I generally find English sausages to be dreadful (with the exception of those from the occasional good local butcher). So much garbage in them. Prefer the higher meat content of German 'bratwurst' type sausages.

We get Waitrose sausages with our Ocado shop. About £2.50 for six. They're probably not as good as, say, The Sausage Shop (Bath, currently a long way from me), but they aren't crap.

+1 for Debbie and Andrews. Although I didn't like the 97% Harrogate ones much. I prefered the flavours of some of thier other ranges.

Black farmer are also pretty good.

Edwards of Conwy make some nice sausages.

You can get them from the butcher's counter in the place advertised by a mockney TV chef.

I get these. The best of supermarket sausages, imho.

I've tried many sausages from supermarkets and would say anything from a butcher will be miles better.

That's where we go for our sausages. Local Asda started stocking them for a while - seem to have stopped now.

We get our Turkey from them at Christmas too.

Awesome.
