    Why does English sausage's taste like crap? Is it because there pigs are crap or because they dont cook them right?

    I used to eat sausages raw when I was a kid

    I didn't remember it, but when one of my aul mans particularly redneck friends came into the house and spread a raw sausage over nice brown bread I, naturally, gave him a bit of sh1t
    Then the aul man told me that i used to do the same and it flooded back

    But it's all pre-cooked anyway so its cool

    If you dont mind eating a tube of pig warts and foreskin...

    How can raw sausuage (or any other raw product for that matter) be pre-cooked? It's one or the other.

    sausage is the end product
    The meat that goes into it is precooked.

    Hicks Sausages are the best in Dublin.

    Bang cafe serve them but you can buy them in Fallons.

    100% Pork, no fillers.

    Really?

    Never seen that, have bought Hot Dogs from them in Temple Bar market on a Saturday.

    O'Tooles in Terenure also do 100% Pork Sausages but as they use Organic Meat, they are quite expensive.

    Bobo's breakfasts also use Hicks and their Burgers are O'Tooles Beef & Lamb.

    Oooohh yeah... I was working in Dun Laoghaire last year before I got recessioned and it made for a fine lunch if you got a roll and some free sausages to put in it... I'm hungry now.

    They only did it a few times as far as I know, but what times they were...

    Bought 'Irish Recipe' sausages in asda last year, possibly the foulest sausages I've ever had, was like the filler in a cheap sausage roll. You wouldn't be able to sell the emulsified pork offal tubes they sell here at home. The meat and dairy over here are just muck compared to home.

    BoBo's also do Lamb burgers, called The Meath burger and they source both Beef & Lamb from O'Tooles Organic Butchers.

    GBK also do lamb Burgers.

    I notice that BoBo's is now opening till 4am at the weekends also.

    I reckon its what you are used to. I always shopped in Sainsburys in England and their sausages were better than you get in Ireland. I always moan that to get decent sausages here you have to spend a fortune.

    And Denny sausages ffs, they are an insult to the name.

    I like Hicks though, very good sausages.

    Same reason Irish sausages are **** - they're all gristle and rusk. I don't know how anyone can stomach those excuses for sausages.

    Who told you this? The only precooked sausages are chorizo and similiar, raw sausages are just minced meat with various things added and pumped into a skin.

    Sainsbury's Pork and Apple sausages are gorgeous. So are their Sicilian ones, traditional pork,

    Actually, they're all good.

    Bacon on the other hand, is something the Brits can't get right at all.

    Oh, there are other kinds of pre-cooked sausage around, you can often find them in Lidl and/or Aldi. quite like the Bratwurst they have in Lidl, which I slice up an add to pasta sauce etc. I think the skin is uncooked, so they might not be safe to eat straight from the pack. I also like their Bockwurst, though they're a bit tricky to heat without splitting. I tried steaming some a while ago, and they looked like bombs had gone off inside them.

    I've only been to Germany once (Düsseldorf), but I was amazed by the wide variety of sausages they had in the breakfast buffet at the hotel. I could feel my arteries hardening as soon as I smelled them ... what's the Würst that could happen? :pac:

    Oh yeah, have to agree there, Irish Bacon is superb and you can't get white pudding in England which is a bummer.

    Generally I would say that Ireland does better pork stuff but beef is better in England.

    I can't believe people are slagging off Irish sausages on this, they day of our saviour from the Snakes, Lá Fhéile Pádraig. For shame.

    I had an english sausage in london a few weeks ago. It was ginormous and not appealing. Give me a nice skinny Irish sausage any day.

    Oh and the English (and everyone else in the World) don't get 'bacon' right because they call it bacon. They're rashers!
