Sausage Review - we review sausages

Earley's (Little Canfield) - Lemon & Herb

After completing his butchery training at Priors Hall Farm, Lindsell, young Aaron is out on his own and running his own butchery business...

Agreed the shop is tucked away somewhat on a newish development off the old A120 not far from Stansted Airport, and the "sat-nav" can't locate it properly from the post code, but when you do get there, what a lovely shop it is! Meats, cheeses, bottles and jars of preserved olives and peppers, really good oils, and lots of other beautiful foodie delights! AND here's a plus, easy parking outside...!

Lemon & Herb flavour sausages are something of a departure from the norm that we normally see, so, interesting we thought, we'll try some...

90% quality pork (once again from Priors Hall Farm in Dunmow no doubt) in good quality skins are two boxes ticked straightaway!

Cooked up they did brown well, and the slight lemon aroma whilst cooking was interesting, however the taste was very mild. Yes we got the lemon, but not much of the herbs or any "porkiness" unfortunately. The texture was OK agreed, being on the more smooth than medium side, and the succulence was not in question, but, (now please don't get us wrong) these are well made, but the flavour was not as deep as what we expected.

We'd buy them again of coarse as they are very good, but not as good as the Plain Pork.
