    Quite simply, sausages. Clonakilty sausages at that.

    Sausages. Rashers look and taste like pig's ears.

    And funnily enough, it's more likely the saussies that contain pigs ears :D

    I hate those weird sausages with herbs and stuff in them. Give me a normal sausage any day. Nothing worse than going to a "fancy" hotel and getting your breakfast and they try and make it look sosphiscated by giving you garlic and herb sausages

    Having tried pigs ear in Latvia I can tell you that's blatantly untrue. Pigs ear is rank! I tried my best to eat it but I as going to spew if I tried eating any more of it. Everything about pigs ear is disgusting, from the look, to the texture, to the taste.

    If you sold seasoned baby shit in Superquinn, there would be mongs on here saying it was delicious.

    It's the South Dublin version of the anomalous culchie nostalgia for Calvita and Erin soup.

    Hee hee, so true. :D

    And yes, Superquinn sausages are nothing special at all.

    Nice, but I prefer Kanga Bangas!

    Don't get the love people have for rashers and bacon in general. I'd happily go without another tasteless over-salted crappy greasy rasher for the rest of my life.

    I used to work in a factory that made sausages so I'm going to say rashers.

    Absolutely disagree, in fact that is little more than inverse snobbery.

    There are two amazing sausage products on the Irish chain retail marketplace: Lidl's sausages and Superquinn's sausages. There's nothing food snobbish or repetitional about it: they both genuinely taste amazing compared to their mainstream competitors.

    Stovelid is correct.

    The reason people think that Superquinn sausages are great is part 'group-think' and part E621.

    A standard rasher beats a standard sausage any day of the week.

    But a High end sausage is far better than any high-end rasher.

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

    GRILLED!

    superquinn sausages are better than any rasher, anybody who says otherwise is just poor but could still afford the extremely similar Lidl sausages!

    I was in Spain in June and the sausages they had in the hotel i was in were disgusting, tasteless with big lumps of grissle and unidentifiable substances. They had many different types, i tried 2 or 3 and had to spit them out. On one morning the sausages were grey, horrible looking. The rashers were okay, very thin with lots of eat, and very salty.

    Irish sausages are by far and away the best. Any non Irish sausages I ever had was crap.

    I love rashers too especially the maple cured ones but given the choice between the two I'd pick sausages. A feed of sausages and rashers is a must every Saturday and Sunday.

    Also Clonakilty sausages ftw!!

    Ireland does indeed do the best sausages, but the north west UK (Cumbria in particular) have some excellent ones too.

    A really good sausage beats a rasher, but sausage quality can be all over the shop, you generally know what you are getting with a rasher.

    Your average Irish sausage is better than your average English sausage but your average gourmet English sausage is much better than your average gourmet Irish sausage which seems to just be a typical sausage in a fancy pack.

    I like a nice straight forward plain Irish sausage never mind them gourmet sausages. Also sausages are exclusively a breakfast food imo with the one exception of a bbq. Bangers and mash or something like that would be my idea of a way to enjoy a sausage.

    I have never eaten a sausage in the UK even close to a nice Irish sausage.

    Nothing weird about these my friend! Just deliciousness, 80% pork and made in Cork - sure what more could ya want :-D

    Oh and for the record they also do "ordinary" sausages without the "herbs and stuff" ;-)

    cant believe anyone would choose sausages instead of rashers :eek:. At least you know what your eating with the rashers!

    I could eat rashers every day for a year and still not get tired of them.

    Maple bacon? You can buy it here. Not a big fan, but wouldn't turn my nose up at it. Bacon is bacon, afterall.

    I think it's next to impossible to get good rashers or sausages in shops these days and it turns me off ever buying them. .

    There's lots of good butchers around the country that make their own sausages with decent ingredients. And you can always tell a good butcher if he sells his own dry cured rashers.

    If you can't find one locally, James Whelan deliver nationwide. Their meats are superb quality. http://www.jameswhelanbutchers.com/categories.php

    Or try McCarthys of Kenturk - they do excellent free range pork products.
