Heaps
(Greenwich) -
Original Recipe No1
I've been meaning to get some
sausages from Heaps to try for some
time now. I know that you can pick
up the Martin
Heap recipe sausages from Waitrose
(Simply Sausage packaging) but I
wanted to try the shop made ones.
After a drive to Epping station then
on the Central Line and the
Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to "Cutty
Sark" station, Heaps is "just round
the corner" in Nevada Street.
Heap's retail
shop-made sausages and similar meat
products, as well as operating a
café offering sausage based foods
(sausage and mash, hotdogs etc),
some pastries, with teas and
coffees etc.. In fact through the glass
panels at the back of the shop, you
can watch the sausage making in
progress.
The Award Winning Smithfield
Original Recipe No1 is made of 88%
pork, with nutmeg and a
hint of white pepper in natural
skins. This recipe
we're told hasn't changed since it
was first perfected by Martin Heap
at his gourmet London sausage
emporium.
Whist in the raw they looked good
but on cooking unfortunately we had a
real problem with all the sausages in as
much as they all suffered bad
eruptions from the sausage ends.
Almost like the skins really shrunk
down, shortened and pushed the filling out
which became detached and loose in
the pan.
Shame because the flavour,
texture and succulence was very good
all the same, but we all agreed not as
good as the Heaps Breakfast recipe.
