Sausage Review - we review sausages

These particular sausages both look good and taste good...there you go...

The troops are a little touchy about peppered sausage. None of them like sausages that are overly peppered, be it white, black, cracked or not to be honest, so I was keen they gave an honest opinion in tasting rather than just dismiss them without trying.

I know Simon uses best quality pork (because he's made a point in telling me), natural skins and seasonings for his products, and his customers locally will praise his butchery.  The "freshly-made" scotch eggs Simon also  produces I know are not part of this review, but would be worth you trying too!

So cooked up these porkers ate really well.  The pepper is under control and balanced enough so that you don't get a almighty peppery burst and build up when chewing. Yes there is spiciness there and to be honest they're a really good sausage for a sandwich in my own opinion.  Believe me you won't need any additional sauce, and use white bread!  Try it and let us know.

The team were surprised that they all but one liked these...OK there's always one!  Too peppery...she still finished her plate though.  Result then. 

Eaten cold later on, there was reduction in flavour, but still very nice.   It would be interesting to try these in a sausage toad. 

Price-wise I need to walk up the road to the shop as I didn't get the price, but these like all of Simon's produce I'm sure will remain very reasonable.

A proper "no nonsense" sausage agreed. Job done.
