What about 'value' sausages? Chuck or eat? I bought them in a panic on Christmas Eve when our butcher had run out of chipolatas, but then managed to find some at another butchers, so now have two packs of value sausages in the freezer.

TBH the idea of eating them makes me feel a bit queasy but hate throwing food away!

You could always cook em up and mix with bread crusts etc (cheap sausages USUALLY have loads of excess fat too which will soak into the bread) - mash into a mould (old marg tub?), let it set and then turn it out and then put em out for the birds! - this would work for the burgers too!

I always keep an old marge tub in the fridge for any excess fats (although my butchers sausages and bacon cook with very little excess!) and crusts to go out for the birds once a week. Saves it from landfil and one should NEVER pour fats etc down the plug hole as it causes big problems in the sewers and water treatment plants.

Value sausages taste alright

Speaking for myself, I WON'T eat meat that tastes awful. As a previous poster has said, heaven knows what's in those burgers. If they are very cheap, the ingredients must be rather poor and apart from having a nasty taste, they can't be healthy either.

it all depends on whether you can afford to throw them away,why not try a tomato sauce with onions,herbs garlic bake in oven,may cover the taste of the burgers

yep.think i'll chuck 'em!! DD thought she was doing me a favour by getting cheaper burgers so i'd save a bit of money.......she hadn't realised how rancid they would taste! :rolleyes:

Where did you get them from and could you take them back?
I know asda will take back anything that's their own brand if you're not happy with it, up to about a year after you'd bought it (why tyou'd keep em for that long though is beyond me!!!)

I found a different recipe of HM burgers on internet that I decided to try today. Problem is I dont like the taste and don't want to eat them...and I got 9 of them left.
Anything else I can do with them?

Recipe was:
450g minced turkey
1 egg
2tbsp bread crumbs
2tbsp ketchup
1tbsp HP sauce
1 tbsp English mustard
1 medium red onion.

I like all the above ingredients but together it wasn't a big hit. All I can taste is mince and mustard

Hi Greenpixey,

There are some ideas on this thread that might help:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
