These are well nice, are they the frozen or the chilled ones? Thanks for the post :beer:

They are the fresh ones, I think they have a better taste but that could just be me. lol

So it's 2 packs for £2.00? (16 sausages)

(normally £1.75 each pack)?

I picked these up Friday, but then realised the frozen ones were only 1.60 for 16, it just depends if you [refer fresh or frozen, I personally dont mind.

Richmond sausages contain the following additives:

● E450 – You wouldn’t expect sausages to contain added water but these low-meat (51%) sausages are practically dripping with it. The water is held in place by E450, a chemical which ‘solidifies’ the mixture

● E412 – an emulsifier which helps to hold fat and water together (the meat in these sausages is almost half fat);
● E300 and E307 - antioxidant vitamins which stop the fat content turning rancid. This givesthe product a long shelf life before it becomes unpalatable;

● E223 – a sulphite preservative which keeps the sausages safe to eat and prolongs their shelf life. Some people find that sulphites provoke shortness of breath and asthma;

● E128 – to disguise the low meat content these sausages have
been coloured with a synthetic chemical Azo Dye called Red 2G

Jamie Oliver has put me off sausages for life

A decent butchers sausage is fine, these cheapo pink mushy ones are to be avoided

As comments above, you really don't want to know what goes in a 12p sausage!

I put this post on to let people know that they can save money, as per the website title "money saving" and nothing else.
I totally agree that if you put a prepacked sausage against a butchers sausage that it would show as very fatty, but I personally grew up with these & love them and I am still here. Our local butchers sell superb products but my children prefer the Richmond sausages.
Please do not dismiss any post as one persons dislike may be another persons passion!

We find butchers sausages too coarse, are there any readily available sausages which have a similar texture to Richmond but have more natural ingredients?
