AJ Coulson
(Dunmow) - Traditional Pork
As we've said
before, good butchers
and sausage makers are definitely
found in Dunmow, Essex, you heard it
here! AJ Coulson's (previously
known as Stokes) is just one such...
We bought some
really good looking traditional porks
along with some reggae sausages which were
top notch, on our last visit to
Dunmow.
These traditional pork sausages are
over 80% meat we're informed, very good
quality cases and look really good
in the raw. See photo below,
as presentation does really matter.
Now in truth we cooked up the
traditional porks AND the reggaes at
the same time (separate pans of
course) and had a monster sausage
& mash meal, trying both types of
sausage.
These
traditional porks although they had
a small amount of shrinkage did have
a very pleasing mild flavour, medium
texture and a reasonable bite. I
liked them a lot, but comments here
were that they were a bit too meaty
and chewy compared with the reggaes.
Mind you, each to their own.
Eaten cold the next day...
excellent! Better than the
reggaes!
I really must thank Mrs J for her recommendation we try
AJ Coulson (previously Stokes) as these
too are a really good sausage.
