Well a week
or so later we were on our way to
grannies in Suffolk and without too
much of detour found the Food
Company's store just off the A12 on
the London Road at Marks Tey!
Looks like we've driven past it
countless times without realising it
was there...oops!
What a good store and restaurant.
Wonderfully fresh produce and even a
"cheese room". Well that's
class. Mind you I made a
beeline for the butchery to grab
some sausages to take to grannies
whilst the others nosed about. Good
butchery and fresh fish display I will add, and
on-site made sausages as well.
We're going in...
Picked up some Breakfast sausages
that looked very good (and some "Lincolnshires"
about which we will write up a review shortly).
The plain porks had just been made as it
happens...they must have known we
were calling in!
The breakfast sausages cooked up
really well. Nicely browned and even
though the skins appeared quite
fine, no splits at all. Good aroma
from the pan and no residual oil.
Looking very good so far then...
Well what a really good sausage. A
decent bite and chew, and a texture
just under medium. The taste, yes
very good, in fact excellent with
mash, onions and gravy. They're not
just for breakfast you know...
The Food Company store has a vast
array of foodie delights.
Certainly worth a visit...
Danny Spence (The Fresh Food
Manager) knows his stuff about
butchery and produce. He's a
really approachable chap, so if you
want some advice about meat, fresh
fish, provisions etc etc, ask Danny!
