Pork Sausages in Oz

Maccattack

Has anyone found a butcher or something that sells Irish sausages?

I found a bloke in Dandenong that sells what he calls 'Irish Sausages' but they tasted like muck.

Anyone found the real deal?

Coles do pork sausages, they're ok, nothing like Superquinn's though Beef sausages are ****e! I'd love to get my hands on some decent black pudding too. I was home last year for the first time in 9 years & couldn't believe how much better the beef & dairy was.

One of the butchers in the victoria market in Melbourne sold them, pretty decent. My friend got them at the markets at Sydney, but not sure of the name

Aldi on Inkermann street, St Kilda does pork sausages which I found after months of trying out manky ones!! they are as close to home ones you can get with no gristly bits!! cheap too!!!! i assume all Aldis do them!!! good luck

Thats really weird, because I find Irish meat and dairy like muck compared to back home.
I think its what you are brought up on that sets your tastes.


If you want traditional irish sausages, just buy normal pork sausages from a butcher and fill them full of salt. Voila.

You have a point young Jumpy.

Its like the perennial debate about which is nicer ... Marmite or Vegemite.

Both are just laden with yeast and salt and much of a muchness.

David Jones food court in CBD sydney have decent pork sausages and both white and black pudding

Dear God, you're kidding right? Coles pork sausages have got to be the worst *Bleuuurrrgh* Safeway do small pork 'chipolatas' which are, in my opinion, the best (speaking very generously there) of a seriously bad bunch of pork sausages from the mainstream Oz supermarkets.

'Paddy's Irish butchers' in Kew is well known as being good on the authentic Irish snag front, but I found them not all that flash...
Some are OK from the Prahran market, but best ones so far are from a butcher in Mt. Martha (approx. 15 mins south from Mornington down the coast - aka about an hour's drive south from CBD).
The sausages from this place are, in true Aussie style *puts on thick, shrill Dub accent* "only massive!!" (in size) in comparison to the 'regular' Irish sausage, but the taste and similarity to ones back home, is the best I have found.

Sincerely
Sammag aka 'Irish Sausage expert in Oz'.

There is an Irish butcher in Brisbane who does very nice pork sausages, black and white pudding and very good rashers

Im only 1/2 an hour from mt martha. whats the name of the butcher?

Yeah you will never get a decent sausage in an Aussie fry in a cafe but if you want some some for a bangers and mash deal they packaged pork sausages in safeway do the job just fine. imho

It's the one at the Mt. Martha Village Shops at Lochiel Ave, I'm pretty sure the shop is called 'Bell's Gourmet Meats', it's down from the IGA.
If you go down at the weekend, check first for their opening hours, I know on a Sunday they're only open until 1pm.
I think they're just their regular pork sausages, they may be classed as; 'English Pork Sausages'.
I had them at Christmas and they were pretty darn good. It's an excellent butcher, my in-laws live in the area so I buy a lot of meat from them if I'm down cooking dinners etc.

Is it a secret?

When in Rome... Learn to enjoy the beef sausages, makes life much easier. Stop expecting sausages to taste like ireland or the uk and start expecting them to be beefy. All butchers will do pork snags if you really need them, but the pigs obviously eat something different so won't taste the same, just accept it!

Right I would've thought sending him more business would be a good way to do that...

For those in the Southern Eastern region of Melbourne there is a meat market in Karingal which is located on the Frankston Cranbourne road (next to the shopping centre/before Mitre 10). They sell Irish Sausages which are not too bad. More of a BBQ sausage thought tbh.

hussey

I went to Aldi and they had italian style pork sausages in their premium range

have to say they were pretty tasty, nothing compared to Irish ... but with 75% pork was very nice

Sammag

I picked up a sausage from Bobs in Dandenong to try yesterday. He said these were the closest he could make to Dennys. They are called 'Walls' and arent too bad.

Not as nice as Dennys, more like what youd get from a butcher in Dublin.

Pretty good actually.

And only three days to consume it. Unless of course you had a knees up Irish style with a night of good food and drinks followed by Eastenders and a good Irish fry up in the morning.

Mellor

Any chance of a free sample, in sydney

Celtic Koala

Sorry 'Mellor'!! By the time I post it down, pack it etc! We will definitely be delivering though in the next week or two to all metro areas in Oz, working on it as we speak! The sausages are really the closest thing you are gonna get to Denny's too, we have been extra picky in choosing our products so there are no empty promises made!! Nothing but the best!! :-)

Mellor

I also accept chocolate

It's good to see a bit of competition for Taste.com.au
Maybe you should start a new thread. Seeing as you do more than saugages and rashers

Vorsprung

Aw no Denny ;(

mandrake04

There's an Irish shop on the main Parramatta Road @ Stanmore in Sydney, didn't go in but had a quick look thru the window and they do Irish goods wonder if they maybe distribute some these Sausages.

Celtic Koala

As far as I know we are the only place selling these ones as proper Denny Style Sausages. They are definitely the closest thing to Dennys that you can get over here! Just confirmed that we will definitely be delivering meat products to Sydney so should be good to go by next wk. All metro areas from Townsville to Sydney so far!! Watch this space!!

FreeAnd..

why O god why would anyone want Dennys sausages?

No, they are more irish 'stuff' than food, here is the website
http://www.irishshop.com.au

There is a irish company in mascot
http://www.tasteireland.com.au/

If anyone is out on North Shore, there is a Irish Butchers in Warringah mall.

Also in Marrickville Metro there is a butcher right across from Woolies (can't remember the name) they have Pork Sausages (without lots of herbs and spices etc) they also have black pudding - which is nice enough.

and again anyone who lives in newtown there is a cafe called the Funky Monkey on King st, which has an Irish Breakfast for $12
Sausage (beef though), Eggs, bacon, beans, tomato, Black Pudding (delish) and Toast.

Pretty cheap and much nicer than some of the irish bars breakfast.

Will you be able to post meat to Perth??
tasteireland.com.au dont Sucks being in the most remote city in the world

Celtic Koala

Unfortunately we cant either, it would not be safe to have it packed for that long without refrigeration. We could airfreight it but it will cost around $50. I will look into it for you if its something you really want. Might be something you may want to take up at Christmas or something!? If you are ordering enough or have mates that want to order some also you could all chip in. Let me know anyway and I can work on it!

thecandle

The thin gold medal pork sausages from David Jones foodhall in Sydney CBD are pretty damn awesome if you ask me

Maire2009

I found the Italian pork sausages in Aldi the best - however when they are BBQ they are all good

Back home in Eire now and having my fill of Denny's I tell ya and black pudding, oh how I missed it.

Coles have just started buyin in Irish Meat. sausages, black and white puddin, rashers and gammon steaks.
None of this Cumberland Malarky

I was skeptical but my god were they nice. Pretty much the real deal. Have only seen them in One coles so far in Perth, but im sure not long till they all start stockin them..

My local had a whole freezer full and within 2 days the whole section had been cleared out.... plenty a Irish around these parts

Seriously keep an eye out. Puddin just melted in my mouth...forgot how feckin fantastic it tasted :P

majiktripp

Any good pork sausage retailers in NZ? Specifically Auckland?
Had a gut full of those bloody beef sausage before, never again. Would be nice to know if there's a supplier around...
