Church's -
Old Epping
We've had a
number of friends tell us since
they've heard about this
review site that Church's of Epping
sell some good sausages. The Epping
Sausage recipe is something of a
heritage thing we're told.
We picked up the "jumbo" version for
sampling. Now these have approx 62%
meat and have listed separately the
added fat, which I would expect
implies that the fat isn't within
the percentage of meat. These are
quite a big sausage at 150mm long
and price-wise are 50p a go.
Cooking just two "jumbos" did
produce a noticeable additional
quantity of residual oil in the pan
(9ml/9g) which given the weight loss
these may have quite a bit of fat
added during production.
These sausages have a medium bite,
and a soft to medium texture with a
pleasant flavour. There's a hint of
spice/seasoning and a definite good
meaty sausage taste. The skins cook
up very well. However I suppose
expectation got the better of me
because I was hoping for something
more memorable.
A good sausage
for a sandwich.
