Sausages - Any Good Ones ?
My local butcher retired and closed the shop a couple of months ago. He used to make the best sausages I've tasted.
I've tried the usual crap available in Supermarkets (vile) even the supposedly 'high-end' ones are shite. I've even tried the 'Best Sausage' and 'Gold Medal Winner' sausages offered by on-line butchers but was not impressed.
Not looking for Zebra, Wild Boar etc., just some good old-fashioned, nice tasting, good quality pork sausages.
Anyone know where I can get some ?If you got no socks then you can't pull 'em up.

Best I ever had came from a butcher in St Osyth Essex. Queen mother used to eat them so they must have been good.
That tells you how long it is since I had them though.Haven't had an accident in years. See a lot in my rear view mirror though.
It's very unlucky to be superstitious.
Only my dog can judge me.

The tastiest ones I've had recently were gluten free ones. Tried them at a BBQ so where they came from I couldn't say. They were much better than the usual offerings of sawdust, meat and gristle in a skin. (that's prob what they were, being gluten free)

I am going to be frightfully common here and say that the nicest I have tried of late and this includes some of the posh ones from farm shops and the farmers market in town once a month have to be the "Extra Special" course cut pork sausages in chavvy Asda.
Good firm bite, plenty of taste.

Cumberland sausage. Nothing else is worth eating.
When I head up to see family I bring 20lbs home in a cool bag.Cumberland Sausage | Cumberland & Speciality Sausages
Spme of the smaller butchers are better but this is as good as you'll get online

I'm always disappointed with sausages which purport to be 'luxury', 'gourmet', or whatnot. Terms which in any case are surely oxymoronic when applied to humble sausages. Call me a peasant but I like Walls, although it has to be said, I don't eat the things more than half a dozen times a year.

Morrison's Thick Irish Sausages...the best.
Also try Scottish square sausage on Scottish bread or rolls, with some ketchup. A great breakfast, lunch or supper.techno-spastic likes this.

Curtis' Lincolnshire Sausage is probably one of the best mass produced Lincs sausage. Alternatively try for some traditional Dublin sausage, or as a previous poster has said, go German.
Guinness. It's the first food group.
