You can get the tastiest sausages from certain butchers.There's a butchers in rathmines that's bleedin' rapid.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about :P

Tullamore sausages by the Tullamore Butter and Bacon Company.
I remember lying back in a grotty bedsit in Tooting Bec and dreaming about the next time I'd get my hands on some again.

Are Olhausen not closed down?

Only for a few months.

Bought by Mallons last xmas, who reintroduced the products with the same ingredients, recipe etc. Haven't noticed any difference.

Have to say one of the best sausage's I've had was a Kelly's Cumberland sausage "as far as I know they are in Saggart"
Bangers and mash @ the anvil Saggart Village,,,, to die for.:D

Mallons bai!

+1 for Mallons, bai. You can take yer Tesco finest, and yer Hodgins and whatever else, and you can stick 'em where the sun don't shine. I've tried a lot of different brands, and because I now live in West Cork, I find it hard to find anything other than Clonakilty saussies. They are a commendable substitute, but you will never beat a pound of Mallons.

There's a pork speciality butcher in the The Bawn in Athlone called "Horans Pork Shop".

They make the best sausages and bacon ever.

Anyone form Athlone knows the truth.

Hicks of Dun Laoghaire (mutts nuts) for sausages and square white pudding. People day trip Over from England on the boat to get hicks sausages.

ALiasEX · 17-10-2013 01:47AM

I have tried very few but we all love Dohertys

Karl Stein · 17-10-2013 02:18AM

Quinsworth yellow pack froxen bangers (couldn't be called sausages for lack of meat).

½ a ton for 3 punts in the 80's.

I had something called "breakfast sausage" served to me in america last month, it was rank. So I ate some lucky charms with mountain dew instead of milk.

Nice to see some beef sausages coming in, it doesn't have to begin and end with pork.

jimgoose · 17-10-2013 08:33AM

We get Hodgin's butcher's sausages in the little local shop here, and I don't recall eating a better sossie. I believe they come from Mitchelstown.

Overflow · 17-10-2013 08:34AM

Hicks butchers in Dun Laoghaire. Their white pudding is damn good too.

Even Ireland's worst supermarket brand sausage is better than the rubbery ****e they pass off as sausages over here in England!

I brought 4 packs of clonakilty over in my checked-in luggage for the semester! And 3 packs of Galtee rashers! Froze them in twos. Heading back in a few weeks and will stock up on some more.

I have never eaten a sausage as bland and utterly tasteless as Denny or Galtee sausages. Anything produced by Kerry Foods is made in the cheapest manner possible.

TireeTerror · 17-10-2013 09:14AM

You guys have all got it wrong, every single one of you. All the sausages you mention pale into insignificance when up against the wonderous delight that is the Scottish Lorne sausage, otherwise known as square sausage or square slice.

Nothing compares to them. So there we have it, the ultimate sausage.

BraziliaNZ · 17-10-2013 09:38AM

Kearns ftw!! Are Kearns available outside of Dublin?

bullvine · 17-10-2013 09:49AM

Superquinn are so over rated, they are bland as hell, soggy to touch and too long. Olehausen, Kearns, Hodkins, Tesco Finest, Dunnes Simply better... are all much nicer..

I am a fan of the Clonakility ones though, the key to cooking a sausage properly is to get the black bits on the outside. This is the sign of a great sausage, you can do that with the Clonakilty Sausage, getting the salty, crispy blackness on your sausage is divine, it should be a delicacy akin to Oysters...

Also, Hicks of Dun Laoghaire are OK but if anyone had the luck/fortune to have tasted the Hicks of Sallynoggin before it closed down, you'd the have experienced the greatest sausage that's ever existed in this country..

drumswan · 17-10-2013 09:51AM

Kearns are the best.

Superquinn was the **** in the 1970s, its rubbish now.

jjdub1 · 17-10-2013 09:51AM

Castlebar Bacon Products ... Barcastle sausages were the best I've ever tasted but been years since I had them .. don't know if they're still around but would murder a pack now ..

Savoir.Faire · 17-10-2013 10:45AM

Clonakilty sausages are horrific. More meat on the tip of a vet's biro.

The Backwards Man · 17-10-2013 12:30PM

No Derry or Inishowen people have voted in this thread, apparently

Dohertys, hands down.

MonstaMash · 17-10-2013 12:34PM

Hafner's...nice & spicy

Anyone remember the gourmet sausage shop at the side of the ILAC in the 90's?

They always had sausage samples on paper plates on the counter...I used to gorge myself on them

Thread title is 'Ireland's best'.

The Pheasant2 · 17-10-2013 12:37PM

I'll agree with OP on the Clonakilty sausages, delicious they are!

Superquinn are very overated
