Well in an attempt to correct this oversight on our part I called in recently and picked up some Old English and some very good looking chipolatas from J Phillips on Coppice Row, Theydon Bois, Essex. 

70+% meat we're sure (remiss of us not to ask at the time) in good quality natural casings.  Now these cooked up really, very well and proved to be a succulent, meaty and herby sausage experience. Flavoursome and satisfying we all agreed. 

A good bite and a medium/smooth texture. Not as cheap as chips, but a very good sausage that's up there with the best tasting chipolatas we've found to date.

The Old English review will no doubt follow shortly and if they are of the same stamp as the chipolatas, well....
