Sausage Review - we review sausages

Sweetland's of Dunmow do indeed produce some really good sausages. We liked their "Flitch Sausage", so I called in yesterday and picked up some Olde English to try next. Well eyes down, look in...

These sausages are made on the premises at Dunmow and we're informed they contain 75% pork meat sourced from a multi award winning local pork supplier at Great Garnetts. Good natural casings are used too, and they are yet another very good looking raw sausage, all tied properly, and as you know, we believe presentation really matters.

Now let's not beat about the bush on these, they cooked up really well and tasted great. OK a couple of the sausages suffered a split or two but this in no way affected the flavour which had well enough spicy oomph to interest the palette with a texture that is medium to course which indeed gave a good meaty chew. There was a definite crispness biting through the skins in to the juicy sausage meat inside. They're a tasty succulent sausage indeed, and at around 47p a go are pretty fair value too.

I'm sure you will like these, so if you are ever in Dunmow and call in to Sweetlands to buy some, tell them Sausage Review told you!
