Re: The Sausage Report
Amen to that... Plenty of spicy food around these parts.. I know plenty of Aussies like your In Laws though. There are a fair few English people like it too though... I know my Parents and brother and Sister wont touch Spicy food. In fact my Younger brother 10 years my Junior... still does old fashioned English things like keeping his beer in the Cupboard rather than fridge and eats baked beans at least 5 times a week... and with every roast.

Re: The Sausage Report
There is a British butcher in Cooroy Qld, and strangely enough comes from our old village in Nottingham! I don't eat sausages but the meat eaters in my family do and they rated his pork and cumberland sausages very very highly. Husband reckoned the pork pie from there was the best he had tasted here and his gammon was quite something, I think dry cured by him and melt in the mouth!!! Making any one hungry? Definitely recommend him.
. A 30 minute drive to get highly rated pork sausages, pork pies and gammon - Have been wanting a gammon steak with an egg on top for ages - refuse to try one of those abnormally round and reconstituted ''ham'' steaks I've seen.

A Gammon Steak is one thing I've never seen for sale in all my time here in Aus. In fact I've not seen one cooked either.

Re: The Sausage Report
If anyone lives near Somerville, VIC and loves sausages then I can recommend the pork and leek from the Coolart butcher near Woolies.

Re: The Sausage Report
My family likes sausages too - eldest loves the Coles beef crappy ones (she's half Aussie so I blame that!) but I'm yet to find nice pork bangers. I used to like Porky Whites or butchers' own in the UK.
I have an added problem now that I have suspected Coeliac Disease so I can't have gluten. I nearly cried on my trip to the UK the other week because I couldn't eat most bangers because of the breadcrumbs..........BOOOOO!

Re: The Sausage Report
Ive seen plenty of Pickled Pork... plenty of Italian and Greek butchers here... It's the Serbs and other ex Yugoslavian people that are the Melbourne Pork aficionados... although the Vietnamese and Chinese use a lot of Pork as well.
I'm going to take this picture to my Vietnamese bloke and tell him there's a possiblity of a big market for "This cut of Ham" Unless someone can explain it better.

Re: The Sausage Report
Are you a born again sausage eater too?
Actually, I'm more like a sausage crusader, on a quest to find a decent pork banger at a competitive price. It's taken me nearly 3 bloody hard long years, and I may have found my holy grail, but I'm still open to suggestions.....I'm fickle too

The girl working there said she's been here 8 months and she's only tasted one Aussie sausage, put her off for life! I must be a good customer too, they keep giving me free sausage rolls

Went into Celtic Koala today to restock on the sausages, seems they are having problems keeping up with the demand The girl working there said she's been here 8 months and she's only tasted one Aussie sausage, put her off for life!

Cos, I have yet to find a decent one. I have mentioned that my butcher does do nice sausages, but lately I have changed my mind. I have stopped eating/buying sausages here now.
