Cheap Quality Sausages £1.00 at Asda

Hi
I was in Asda yesterday and I bought Porky Whites Surrey Pork Sausages at £1.00 per pack of 6. They are 82% pork (shoulder and belly). They also did packs of 12 Chipolatas at £1.00. These weren't stickered reductions they were just on offer but I couldn't see from SEL how long for. I can't locate them online to post a link so don't know if its all stores.

    I saw these yesterday for 50p in the reduced section I figured they had to be full of rubbish for that price though

    Well, you only have to look at the back of the pack for the ingredients in order to decide, these are 82% pork which is pretty high and what you'd expect from a quality sausage :D

    I have seen some threads/posts recommending various online meat suppliers and when I have looked at them and in particular their "home made" sausages, the meat content was only 62% which is less than asda or tesco standard "butchers choice" type which are typically around 72%.

    I had these today in a Hairy Bikers sausage and beer casserole and they were lovely - I'm going to go back to Asda tomorrow to stock up on a few more packs.

    Only sausages I buy in our house, lovely chipolata. I buy for £2 a pack at Asda, they rarely go lower than that. Now they are £2.75 from this week. Sometimes find them for £1.59 but its quite rare. Always stocked at Asda and Tesco (2.59? in Tesco). Got some in my basket now online, not at £1 though :-(

    It was the other ingredients I was more concerned with not the pork content and as I was in the shop at the time I din't have time to google them all to see if they were safe imo or not. I don't 'do' additives.
