Rashers or Sausages ?

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

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

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

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!

If I had to eat one, I would eat rashers.
Although superquinn sausages are nice.

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.

Rashers for sure.

Cienciano · 23-07-2012 02:56PM

Superquin sausages are seriously over rated. Way too salty.

kfallon · 23-07-2012 02:59PM

Used to love a rasher sandwich for a hangover cure but it has to be sausages....a nice big fat juicy sausage on the plate, you couldn't bate it with a shitty stick
