Are sausages disgusting?

[Herbsman.]

Are they really full of crap like ears and that?

 

[JohnnyOrange]

Yes, but fortunately crap like ears and that taste nice. There's no point in chucking the ears away is there?

 

[T & P]

Yeah, the ears are actually a very nice part of the pig- a treat on their own right.

It's not the ears you need to worry about. And as far as sausages go, it pays to spend extra on good quality ones from a reputable source. Don't bother with any that can be bought from the likes of Tesco.

But when they're good, fuck they are good.

spare a thought for the people who have to scrape the shit out of intestines to make the sausage skins.

 

[Ralph Masters]

they go in too

The shit stays in surely?

I had a friend whose mum worked in a butchers. She made sausages and described them as 'toenail and arsehole'.

She never ate sausages.

and the eyelids yum!

gotta be better than human placenta

 

[Endeavour]

gotta be better than human placenta

Why? I would have thought that's pure nourishment.

 

[DotCommunist]

Sawdust, foreskins, e numbers. What's not to like?

 

[madzone]

Lips and tits. Cheap sausages are disgusting. My sausages however, are not.

I still don't like sausages though.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

Waste not want not.... good quality sausages are great And not as expensive as you might think per pound from a decent butcher

 

[MikeMcc]

Cheap sausages are crap (almost literally), but decent ones are amazing.

Mind you I also like black pudding and haggis, so it's no indication of taste!

 

[madzone]

No, not at all expensive and if you're lucky even delivered to your door

 

[ymu]

Mechanically recovered meat is disgusting. Sausages (and anything else) made of it are disgusting. Proper sausages are ace.

 

[og ogilby]

I only buy venison sausages. Hardly any fat.

 

[fractionMan]

But fat's the best bit.

Dry sausages make me

 

[og ogilby]

Quorn sausages are pretty good too.


*Runs*

 

[fogbat]

Better to use all of the animal than just a few select cuts. When you get down to it, eyelids are still meat.

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

these are the best! (/awaits flaming )

Grilled Pig Ears. (common Madrid tapa. Along with Callos a la madrileña - pig intestines)

 

[Wolfie Smith]

I remember turning up in a remote Spanish village one lunchtime, really hungry, to find that the only place open and serving food was a bar which had only one sort of tapa available which was pigs ears (orejas). Not exactly me favourite but not that bad. People are far to squeamish about this kind of thing - if yer going to kill an animal then you really ought to eat as much of it as possible.

Sausages are the food of the gods.

I quite like orejas a la plancha, with a bit of lemon kind of bacony.

Jimmy from Jimmy's Farm did a recent show when he tried to put cow's nose in a sausage but they wouldn't let him. They said cheek was OK but not nose was not permitted. Apparently hearts are popular and also connective tissue.

 

[Epico]

I don't care if it's intestines and eyeballs and arseholes - if it tastes good, I'm all for it! Better than killing an animal and eating less than half of it.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Sainsbury's do lovely own brand frozen ones, cheap too.

But then I probably have very unsophisticated taste buds.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Being a religiously non-observant Jew, I rather like black puddings myself, so much so that I make my own.

 

[tarannau]

Really VP? Are you using that dried blood stuff?

Apparently Joe Public can buy bags of blood again now, albeit from certain (treated) sources.
