Rashers or Sausages ?

MJ23

Which is nicer? They're both deadly, but if you to choose one over the other, which would you go for?

NegativeCreep

Rashers. I can't stand sausages!

frozenfrozen

Why would you force this horribly mean decision on somebody?

kfallon

Sausages every time!

Bambii_

Rashers are naturally nicer, how could you ask such a question? :P

cena

It would depend what is going with them

mconigol

Sausages made out of rashers

I picked sausages...but have you ever had sausages wrapped in rashers? you'll never look back!

clintondaly

Burnt Rashers that you have to snap rather than cut

starviewadams

Venison sausages!

Bloodwing

A quality sausage wins hands down over a rasher. The next question is fried or grilled!

A big, dirty, greasy long sausage in my mouth

smoked rashers in batch bread and some YR brown sauce

Rashers

Because sausages are terribad.

Sausages with rashers wrapped around them

Toby Take a Bow

Sausages with mash and gravy.

Rashers for pretty much anything else.

Shaws of Limerick or some decent brand

If you're going to buy cheap own brand muck with a tiny percentage of meat there is no point at all

There are a lot of cafes guilty of this

Rashers every time. No competition.

I rarely opt for either item of lipid-rich, proletarian fare.

Sauve

You cant have one without the other. No way.

Diapason

This is an outrage.

sausages, the sleeda farm sausages and sausage rolls that supervalu do are sex on a plate

My local butcher solved this conundrum. Smokey Bacon and Cheese Sausages. Take a bow Mr Brady.

brummytom

Bacon, definitely

Depends on the brand.
I think Rashers could swing it though.

pickarooney

Rashers, then real sausages, then a billion other foodstuffs, then Irish sausages.

candy-gal1

Rashers for the yummy smell they make cooking, cant beat it, and when theyre on buttery toast
Sausages for when having with chips or battered

Most branded rashers are full of inorganic phosphate salts - basically a chemical preservative. They add them not only as preservatives but also so they can pump more water into the rashers, which increases the weight. When you cook them, you'll notice that a white "foam" comes out of the rashers & they get a lot smaller when cooked. So you're paying for added water that you don't want & preservatives that you don't need.

There's a few small companies in Ireland who dry cure their bacon & a good few of the better butchers do it, but all the big brands such as Galtee, Denny etc don't.

And don't get me started on the shite they try to pass off as sausages.

I had this debate with someone yesterday! I dont eat either, but would prefer rashers if I had to choose.

Cant beat superquinn sausages though!

Irish sausages from a decent butchers are the best in the world.

Doyles in Greystones for example.

Cheap rashers are without a doubt better than cheap sausages!! Anybody choosing tesco value sausages over value rashers is just wrong.

in the high quality versions, i'd prob still be a rasher man tho.

Rashers..

I would eat back with a fry or whatever, but I use streaky for having with pancakes and maple syrup, and I chop them up and add them to lasagne.

I'd call it an 'awakening', at the start it was she didn't like either but the more she thought about it the more she realised that infact she did like both.....a moment of clarity if you will.

She has now gone to fire up the frying pan!

Well I'm glad we are both confused

I like superquinn sausages, or hicks of Dun Laoghaire, but mostly superquinn.

Wouldn't bother me if I never had another rasher as long as I lived. Though they are nice with poached eggs and homemade brown bread. Mmmmmm.
