Sausage Review - we review sausages

On the personal recommendation from a friend and business associate we called in to Quality & Excellence's Family Butchers in Theydon Bois to catch a THEYDON FLYER or two...

We noticed that Q&E had sold out of the bigger Theydon Flyers, (obviously a good seller then), so we bought some Theydon Flyer chipolatas instead. More than 80% meat in natural casings is the sort of information we like for a good chipolata. 

Now these cooked up really, really well and proved to be a right meaty sausage experience. Flavoursome and a good chew we all agreed.  Reasonably firm to bite and with medium texture proved to be a unanimous thumbs up here. A cracking chipolata sausage eaten hot or later when cold.  So I've made a mental note to call back to Theydon Bois sooner rather than later and definitely get some of the Theydon Flyers bigger brothers...

We also tried the chipolatas in a "Roast potatoes with Italian sausages, herbs and red onions" adapting an excellent recipe taken from The Italian Sausage Bible (ISBN  978-1-78027-050-0) available online and from good booksellers. These particular chipolatas worked really well and created us a really good roast dish ...
