Allingham's
(Hitchin,
Herts) -
Old EnglishSausage Review received the nod from Chris Cooper of Stevenage for a heads up on Allingham's...well after the "top of charts" review on their OSB's now we have their Old English...
Allingham's shop is right central in
the old town market place and is a
delight incidentally, like going
back slightly in time and a really
nice experience. The butchers
serve you, have a chat with you in that old
style friendly way I remember from
my young years, and then you go to
the cash desk window at the back of
the shop to part with your money!
If you call in, do look out for
plenty of free samples of sausages
on the counter top. Believe me they
are very proud of their sausages,
and they will tell you such without
prompting!
The Old English sausages cooked up
beautifully, with really nicely browned
skins. Smooth to medium texture,
good bite and lovely succulence.
Just like the OSB's, definitely moreish!
The flavour was excellent, meaty
with defined spice to taste. Not as
delicate as expected, but still a
winner.
Minimum shrinkage and weight loss in
cooking, no splits, or spits.
Don't just take our word or Chris
Cooper's for it, Allingham's make
some damn good sausages. Come
on,
if you get a chance call in and buy
some. We're going to!
