Oxhey Lane
Farm (Pinner) -
Sage
&
Onion
From the bag
of sausages dropped in to the office
recently by a friend who'd called
in to the Oxhey Lane Farm Shop in
Pinner we sampled next their Sage &
Onion...
Jon Wiggett runs the farm shop and
has told me that they prefer to hand
mix rather than use machinery when
they make their sausages and they use
only good ingredients such as hand &
belly, and natural casings.
The flavourings too are mixed up in
house, and the "secret" recipes used
have been handed down "father to
son". Jon's dad started the
business some 40 years ago and Jon
has continued on the tradition for
the last 10 years.
75-85% meat (dependant on the
recipe) goes in to natural casings
with some rusk and the flavourings
and that's it! Jon says that
"you wont get fat out of our
sausages", well
he's right, no residual fat in the
pan.
These Sage & Onions cooked up really well
just like the Chives and they
are again a "big sausage" with a good
succulent bite and a medium texture.
The sage and onion
flavour is there but is on the mild side
for us. We were a bit
disappointed to be honest, as we
were expecting a really good strong
sage taste, but don't get us wrong,
just like the chives they are
certainly a good eating
sausage.
