McDonalds sausages

My DD loves these, the pancakes & sausage breakfast.
Hardly ever has it.

She asked if I could buy McDonalds sausages, I don't think I can - I think they are made for or by them.

I guess I could make them?

They are shaped like flat skinny burgers.

The hardest thing will be getting the right herbs & seasoning.

    quite honestly, if you knew what goes into mass-produced sausages, you might not want DD to have them. Make some of your own, but without the fat, salt sugar and other nameless horrors, I am sure she will soon recognise the difference, and truly appreciate real food.

    Oh I've seen those, they are horrible looking & very low meat content.

    Sausagemeat, with some herbs and spices. May take a few attempts to get perfect so get a tube of meat, herbs and stuff (think it's mainly mixed ones) and then try adding different amounts, doing them in the same shape, then cooking. Probably in a frying pan..but not sure (I used to wrk there and don't think you can buy the patties)

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    That sounds like it would be pretty close to the McDonalds ones then! (Not slagging them off or saying you shouldn't eat them - just I think their ones would be very processed and low meat content - and probably wouldn't look very nice uncooked)
