"Other than pork"

We've been under pressure recently from a journalist friend and colleague to justify why we have been only sampling pork sausage!

He says that there's some really good, well made sausages out there in lamb, chicken and beef varieties...well bowing to his persistence on this we decided to go for it and buy in some "beef & cracked black pepper" just to get us started...


Hmm?  Yes they're OK I suppose but frankly taste and texture-wise I might as well have eaten a reasonable quality "beefburger"!

Now don't get me wrong a very well made sausage, and they cooked up very well and retained a good succulence, however you cannot escape the fact that probably in a blind tasting you wouldn't be able to "taste the difference" between these and a beefburger, even though these were actually Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" sausages!



We will try some more varieties I'm sure just as our friend and colleague suggests, but I remain sceptical about any sausage "other than pork"....
