British Sausage Week - 26th October to 1st November

[Kevbad the Bad]

I might have to explore how well the Richmond vegetarian snag holds up to toad, casseroles etc. Maybe try my old favourite of sausages with green lentils and cider.

I still can't get my head around Richmond. I know some people really rate their veggie bangers, but their meat sausages are so rank and unfortunately the two looks scarily similar.

I got 6 nice sausages from Morrisons today. I expect I will make either sos/mash/beans or casserole... But then toad in the hole could be a good shout, with proper onion gravy. Hmmm decisions

Anyone got an online recipe for saus casserole they can link. Been a while since I made one

Sausage casserole recipe

The Hairy Bikers' sausage casserole is like a big hug on a cold winter's day! Warming and filling, it's the ultimate comfort food.

I’ll be making a batch of this later in the week

That was one I Googled after I posted. Have you made it before? I like HB recipes that I've made before

Yeah, I've made it loads of times. There's plenty of scope to vary the recipe too, I usually add both chilli and paprika and also slice the sausages after the initial cooking to make it easier to portion up.

Yes, I'm a devotee of pre sliced sausages after the initial fry, at a nice jaunty angle

Never tried them. Two questions. Can you get them in this country? Are they farmed sustainably, or what?

I don’t know KtB, check google

Anyone got any sausage recommendations? Since Biggles closed I've struggled to find a truly great sausage and find most of the generally available offerings either too dry, underseasoned, or both. A local butcher does a decent Cumberland but I'm extemely particular about the sausages I nosh so I've had little variation for quite a while.

Is there a farmers market nearby? I get some good ones at mine, also the shop they have nearby. Sodding wholefoods markets have them. At a shove Duchy are ok. What is your zone? Do you want to trek to London for them? If so:

Buy Free Range Sausages in London

I had the last of my sausage stew today. Polish sausage, onion, carrot, potato and lot and lots of cabbage, along with various herbs and spices. bloody yummy.

 

[Smangus]

Mrs S made sausage and lentil casserole yesterday with garlic and carrots in , very French. Lovely with a French stick and Dijon mustard with a green salad on the side. Not very British obs but v tasty !

 

[ViolentPanda]

We are planning hot dogs one day!

That's tomorrow's planned meal for me. Lidl mini-bockwurst (they're bigger than standard Frankfurters), grilled, then served in half a baguette with sauerkraut & fried onions (sorry, Greebo! ). Bautz'ner German mustard optional.

"Polish sausage" covers a multitude of pork products. Do you mean keilbasa, or Masurian sausage, or a dried smoked cooking sausage?

Try frog sausages and then you could have a proper toad in the hole.

Frog in the toilet doesn't sound too appetising.

 

[Mogden]

I've been rationing my meat intake heavily but this thread got me meat sausage hooked so I've just had sausage, egg and chips with a good splodge of mustard and ketchup on the side.

I'm making this tonight with veggie sausages and no bacon.

I want to add some wine, but if I do, I know I'll drink the rest of the bottle and I've got a busy day at work tomorrow.

How did you do this? Did you cook the sausage then add the veg, or all in at once?

There are several ways of polishing sausages after all.

Ive just made another batch thats equally nice, altho ive used chorizo so slightly different.

Sweat the onions and add chopped sausage. gently fry til the sausage gives up some of its oil and fat. add carrots along with chilli flakes and paprika. then add chopped potatoes and a couple of pints of stock, and half a savoy cabbage roughly chopped. than after half hr add a tin or two of mixed beans.

I suspected as much. But what sort of 'Polish sausage' did you use in the original which whetted my appetite?

It was cured, dont know what it was called, and even asked the polish woman in work who gave it to me and she said she didnt know either. sorry.

Really good recipe, that.

I didn't know it was British Sausage Week (fnar). I have to go into work later so might stop at the butcher on the way home and get some really good bangers. Perhaps sausages, chips and homemade barbecue-style beans later.

Heap's in Greenwich do some excellent sausages. I used to love their cafe, back in the days when it was Nevada Street Deli. Was a nice place to read and drink coffee and watch the world go by, and make eyes at Chris the waiter.

Due to a lack of imagination we have had Cumberlands two days running

 

[Sprocket.]

It’s a thirty mile round trip but I’m going for it. The local butcher were we used to live makes his own Lincolnshire Sausage, it is divine. Perfect size and spicing. He regularly wins awards for them and many local pubs and restaurants use them. Will give full report.

Find out if he sells online please mate.

Is it acceptable to stock up on kielbasa during British Sausage Week? Or is it for all sausages?
