    Yeah! Just shows us sausagemeat's kidding us with those mealplans. ;)
  • i was tempted to buy this the other day BUT was put off because when i thought about it, isn't it literally just inside of sausage... and sausages are not healthy in the slightest really..... i was all inspired to get some and make meatballs etc but the fact that really i am just giving the family sausage of another name made me think twice. Can you make your own sausage meat?? Ie from pork somehow .....? Cos then it would obviously have less rusk and junk in it and then i could justify it lol :o
    My local butcher is a champion sausage maker and the only things that go into his pork sausages he assures me is a coarsley ground mixture of pork shoulder, belly pork, rusk and herbs and seasonings, a certain amount of fat is needed for flavour and succulence.
    Not the cheapest you can buy but at least i know unlike the cheap supermarket stuff it's not a mixture of lips, eyes and ar**holes.:D:D

    My mum has given me two packs of sausage meat and I'm not too sure what to do with it, I've got one out of the freezer for tomorrow but I need something quick or that I can just throw in the oven as I won't be home until late tomorrow. The only thing I can think is a toad in the hole type or meatball and sauce thing. I was hoping to be able to cook it and put it back in the freezer to reheat as it's just for me.
    I have pasta, onion, mash, tomato, peppers and mushrooms, as well as other bits and pieces.

    It works in bolognese, slightly unusual but tasty.

    One of my favourite meals is sausage (and I guess balls of sausage meat would work) in a casserole dish with loads of sliced cabbage, any sort, layered with salt and pepper. Put on a tight fitting lid and cook slowly in the oven at a low temperature for about 3 hours. Yum. It does not need water.

    Make small meatballs - add some herbs and seasoning into the sausage meat, some finely chopped onion too if you fancy to. Coat in flour and pan-fry until golden. Make a pasta sauce and add the meatballs and simmer for 20 mins until they are cooked. Use as you would any pasta sauce.

    My kids used to adore sausage and tomato tart - make pie base with shortcrust pastry. Add a thin layer of tomato puree. Add the sausage meat, lattice the top and pop in the oven until cooked.

    NOT very healthy, but really tasty :D

    How about scotch eggs, or a sausage plait made with puff pastry?
