Just make sure he really does make his own. I have used the same butcher for many years but recently found out that he stopped making his own some time ago, very disappointing.

Another way is to buy/borrow a sausage machine and make your own
It is a bit of a messy job, but only in the same way as home brewing can be

I’m old enough to have seen sausage making on the Generation Game, it never ended well, or with anything remotely edible

For the somewhat widely marketed ones we buy the "Black Farmer" brand. Always good

We're slightly limited in that Mrs PP has to have gluten free food, which rules out quite a few otherwise perfectly Ok sausages

Tesco's "Finest" range of sausages are all gluten free.

Very nice they are, too. I'm particularly fond of the Cumberland ones.

You'll only get attached, give it a name, & it'll end up dying of old age!

A friend of mine has two lambs (her lawnmowers), whose names are Rosemary and Mint.

I suggested Mint & Sauce.

I didn't want to be the first to say it but yes, I agree, they have a great texture which is so overlooked in appreciating food by many. It's a shame they no longer seem to offer the Toulouse.

Raleigh, because it;s for the chop(per)

I eat these, grilled, mainly because I do most of my shopping at Tesco. I used to buy the value ones at one time, but went off them when they changed the recipe. I think they've stopped them altogether now.

I enjoy perching a nice sausage on the bbq mrs Gimlet, certainly after rubbing liberally with olive oil.

I get my sausages from the local farm, the farmer's wife makes her own and sells them, along with burgers, meat, and eggs from a side window of their house.

I also get my coffee beans fresh from a local roasters, proper middle class me. 😂

I like my sausages with v little seasoning, or so I thought. Asked a butcher friend of mine to make me just a pork sausage, nothing else - erghh, was horrible, so bland. His recommendation was 'classically seasoned' from Co-op - absolutely by far and away the nicest sausages I have ever tried form a supermarket.

Hello
I grow my own meat - pigs are easier to keep than hens, then get a decent butcher to make sausages. I use Thomas Shepherson In Marsden

You get about 40 KG of sausages per pig, plus the usual joints

If back garden pig keeping isn’t for you, you could just approach a butcher (with a good reputation) and ask for them to make sausages.
I would look to club together with friends to make it worthwhile

my 19 year old niece has been raising piglets and selling them as sausages for the last few years... she makes a small fortune.

Currently enjoying Aldi's Lincolnshire sausages (green pack, not the SS type) which are quite nice. I can't enjoy a Cumberland sausage these days because having spent a few years in NW Cumbria, Cumberland sausage's seem to be rather average outside* of the county. There's more it than just coarse-cut meat in a chunky coil.

*to be fair, there were a lot of average Cumberland sausages inside the county too, but at least i had a choice.

These lobbed on the barbie ... oh yes!

Try the "Duda" branded ones.

I've just finished a pack of them. They're also lovely cold, thinly sliced in a sandwich or on toast. Would also recommend Kiełbasa Podwawelska if you can get it.
