Sausage Review - we review sausages

These 97% finest chipolatas in natural skins looked good and after cooking did indeed provide the snappy flavoursome experience I was pursuing. A very acceptable bite & chew, and the medium texture was cracking. OK a bit of weight loss still but the shrinkage was noticeably less.

In using a high percentage meat content, sausages do generally seem a tad drier, which I suppose is to be expected, and on the previous review we had a slight issue with the succulence. Pleased to say that this seems addressed as there was sufficient this time.

Now we did notice however that the sausages were presented in the packaging slightly shorter than when we last tested in August last.  Yes, yes 5mm on the length isn't a show stopper is it, but the price per pack being way down at now £2.50 compared with £3.29 in August last the "Good Value" flag needs waiving...

A very OK sausage, which we will probably buy again for everyday family "get togethers"...
