Millins (Tiptree)
- Traditional
During a
recent visit to Marks Tey on route
to granny in Suffolk, we spotted
some good looking sausages in the
Poplar Nursery Shop....
The packaging
was a bit light on information as to
what percentage meat content and the
casings used but from the feel these
traditional pork are a good firm
sausage that would perhaps indicate
a high end percentage in natural
casings I'm sure.
These sausages
individually are certainly on the big side, look
well made, and at only £7.00 a kilo
are a pretty good price too.
Cooked up they're very meaty but unfortunately weren't as flavoursome
as we were expecting. There
was
spice there so don't get us wrong,
it's just we thought they could do with
a bit more oomph. The
skins initially appeared to be very
good, and they browned very well, but
the whole pan full split unfortunately.
However the sausages held together
and this fact didn't really effect
the taste, so not the end of the
world. A medium texture,
with a medium bite. Minimal
weight loss and shrinkage from our
sample.
Eaten with mash, onions and
gravy, they worked very well!
I'll give Millins a call and get
some more details on the makings
shortly.
