    charlies_mum I can confirm they do sell them as i get mine from there all the time. However on some occasions they have sold out. They do different flavours too like honey and mustard, balsamic vinegar, pork and apple etc.
    4 years of entering competitions daily and not a thing won. What a fix.

    I buy either Co-op or Tesco's premium brand ones - normally when they're on offer or in the RTC bin for half the normal price.

    Great for sausage & mash or sausage casserole :)

    Paul Rankin's Irish recipe were the best. A classic! Couldn't find these anywhere and only found out recently that the company went under a few months ago.

    Debbie & Andrew's Sicilian sausages and ones with Coleman's Mustard are OK. Not keen on the Harrogate sausages. There are 2 reasons for choosing a high meat content sausage - flavour or value for money. These seemed dry and tasteless - none of the meaty juices that you'd expect. On the plus side you do get a lot of pork on your plate for the money.

    I put this on the grabbit board, and have asked for it to be moved to this board.

    It is just to let you know that these sausages are currently £2 in Tesco.

    We too always bought Rankin's sausages, traditional pork and pork & herbs, absolutely delicious - 85% pork. As Point 3 mentioned, couldn't find them in supermarket so picked up a couple of packs of Saints & Scholars sausages to try. Had one pack of Rankin sausages still in the freezer and noticed on the packaging description, contents, recipe, etc were almost identical!! They did indeed taste just the same so perhaps the same product under a different name??

    Anyhow Point 3, give them a try and you'll not be disappointed.

    We are total meat snobs :p and would not buy any meat in the supermarket.

    Always the local butcher (in Edinburgh) who only supplies free range and organic meat from local farms.

    Yes - it costs more and we are not remotely well off but I can definately taste the difference esp. with the sausages and it just means we skimp in other areas.

    We only buy the champion chipolatas from a local butcher in Aylesbury (the one in Bedgrove and on the corner of Market Square!). Our kids won't eat any other sausages (they have tried others but always moan about them!) In fact my children love them so much they were one of the first things they went into a shop to buy for themselves when they were little (about 4 or 5). I'd give them the money and hover anxiously until they had paid... it was funny - I used to tell them to ask for 2 lbs of chipolatas (I'm such a rebel!!)
    Me and o/h also used to love Stroffs (?) duck sausages from the Covered Market in Oxford - but they stopped trading long ago... :( never found any as nice since....
    :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Quite keen moneysaver......

    I just bought some Denny sausage last week and although they are better than the Sainsbury sausage they still aren't as good as the Cookstown Ulster sizzlers.

    Cookstown British sausage sizzlers are the best.
