Broad Oak Farm - Hot Dogs
We bought in
these in the summer whilst
searching for some "brat
like" sausages to use to
treat our weekend guests to
chilli dogs and such...looks
like they found the back of
the freezer unfortunately
and not our guests, so now
having released and
defrosted them, we need to
try them...
We've bought
Broad Oak Farm sausages
again and again over the
years as they are a pretty
good producer and let's face
it Broad Oak Farm Cumberland
sausages did well in last
years Sausage Week (2015)
winning their category.
I'll be honest when we
bought these hotdogs and I
didn't read the pack in
close detail until we got
home..."plastic skins"
aren't our best liked
makings for sausages but
hey, these are called
hotdogs after all.
After being rescued from the
freezer and thawed out, it
was in to a hot bath they
went for 20 minutes and a
quick singeing in a hot pan
to finish off. Not our
normal sampling method but
we went with the flow on
this one...
They cooked up and looked
quite a traditional hotdog
to be honest. Quite
chewy and solid though. They
tasted of slight smokiness
that hotdogs taste of and
would probably pass OK as a
"brat", but they weren't our
"cup of tea" to be frank...
Would we buy again? Probably
not.
