Yes, we had the pork pie thing too! We weren't allowed to pass a farm shop without turning in "just to see what they've got"............ and coming out laden down with meat products! It was very funny.

Oh yes love the pork pies. I sure wish we could get them out here LOL.

never got around to having the veal and egg pie. with yummy pickle

The food variety thou over in uk so much choice seemed hell of alot cheaper as well. more supermakers there. so more competition. I had my video cam going around in the supermarkets

seemed hell of alot cheaper as well




That's what he said. He's never really been responsible for the shopping before, but as he lives there by himself, he has to do his own and was oooing and aahhing even in Waitrose about how cheap it was!

I must just be used to it now....

How much salt do they put in sausages here? More than they do meat.

yes I think so lol we need some good old English Butchers out here

This bright blue building on the corner is an Aladins cave of great tasting meat and the best tasting Pork Sausages we've had in Australia! (the chicken ones are rather nice too )

Quite cheap too

On one trip to see my relatives in Lincolnshire, home of the best pork products in the UK, I told them I was going into town to buy some sausages. There was such a great choice at the butcher's, I just couldn't make up my mind, so I just got some of everything. My relatives couldn't believe their eyes when I staggered in with a 5kg bag of all these varieties. Thankfully there were a few of us to work on the mountain of bangers over the next few days. Fantastic they were too.

Hi Jan

Oh Thanks for that shall keep that address and pop in there and buy some

Our butcher does pork and apple. They're nice.
However, they weren't very coarse, which is a bit more British I think, so I asked him if he'd do me a custom order. I now have a freezer full of coarse pork and apple sausages. If you buy enough, they'll custom make them.

We also had Aldi's sausages the other day - cumberland ones. They were good. Not peppery enough, but pretty good.

Talking of sausages, when I lived in the UK I got used to the pre-packaged meals of Bangers and Mash with Gravy, bloomin' lovely they were!

I especially loved the Co-op ones.

I have never seen these meals here, but last week I found a frozen Bangers and Mash by McCain.........it was bloomin' HORRID!!!!!

The "sausages" were rubbery and tasteless and the mash was very sloppy.

I can't remember whether it's here or Australia where I saw microwavable sausages.

SO wrong!

Oh Must get down there

That is a joke, right?

We tried them once because we couldn't believe there were such things. Once was enough, never never again.

Anyone in Perth needs to get some sausages from Mondo's on Beaufort street in Inglewood.

Superb is all that I can say.

To anyone reading this from the UK, specifically london:

At London Bridge station there was a stall that sold gourmet sausages. They were superb. Lamb and mint. Steak and guiness. Duck and orange was another tasty one.

Is the stall still there ?
