I'm a bacon man personally can happily do without a bit of sausage (insert KW) especially the cheap as **** shit that cafes usually chuck out, Richmond are slightly above that Bacon I can take off the butchers floor and be perfectly fine with it but not sausages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) My favourite description of them comes from the fry up police "tubes of woe" The only ingredient you can get worse on a breakfast is cheap black pudding, the kind that has sawdust as the main component Edited May 21, 2021 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 You don't even have to go finest, the best, or whatever sainsburys call their premium range just go midrange and they're a million miles better than Richmond or walls or any of that rubbish Or even try a brand like black farmer or heck I see Richmond and even worse frozen... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted May 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2021 Richmond are so bad that I don’t really even class them as sausages. I mean, they’re kind of tasty but then I like literally all food, but to me Richmond is just sausage shaped mystery (probably not) meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NOTHING more odious than "quality" sausages. If you want some decent meat go buy a steak. Sausages should be shit. The quality of the sausage improves in direct proportion to it's shitness and probably sawdust content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you to a point, that when you exceed a certain meat % that it’s just too meaty to taste like you want a sausage to taste. But I think you can do better than the sausages that hover around the minimum 42% (off the top of my head) meat that is required to be classified as a sausage.

OutByEaster? Posted May 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2021 A sausage can be too good for a breakfast - a crap sausage is never welcome, but there's a range and when a sausage gets too good, it belongs elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 22, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Finding people's opinions on sausages more controversial then their opinions on fish and gravy. Some of you should be very, very ashamed. I'm now sat here wondering how all you prefer your bacon... Thin, thick, smoked, streaky, made from plastic?

Apparently my view on bacon is wrong according to family and friends. Take the bacon, show it a flame that is a hundred yards away and then consider it done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd said steak, you'd have been spot on, but bacon is meant to be crispy (but not burnt). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted May 22, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2021 Crispy (streaky) bacon only just about works in the American style with maple syrup pancakes (and this is going to start a separate debate I feel). As part of a cooked breakfast or on a sandwich absolutely not, unsmoked back and medium rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the caramelised onion beauties from Asda. So good, and better for you than pork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
