Richmond sausages - why

I have been after some nice sausages for ages. Tried most from sainsburys/asda when they were on offer but still not great, i even tried a pack of Birds at £5.60 for 6 and although nice, not worth the money. Think Sainsburys cumberland came out the best for me. So i ended up today ordering 2 blocks of Scottish Square Sausage Steak Slice. I will separate it when it arrives into packs of 2 and freeze. They are nicely savoury and dense and flavourful. Grab a couple out the freezer and bang in the air fryer for 12 mins and stick in a cob. lovely!

'Heck' are my supermarket go to for sausages, huge meat content and really tasty without being overpriced. Tesco did briefly have a maple/bacon flavour of theirs which were delicious but don't stock them anymore.

If you don't mind Chipolatas the Tesco Finest British Chipolatas are very good, my go to atm. They do some Cumberland ones too.

Also agree with @SixTwoSix Heck sausages are excellent.
 
Two throw another sausage into the hot pan of ocuk sausage chat, what do you think of heinz baked beans with sausages? I love those sausages, but they don't bear much similarity to proper sausages. I would say in comparison to them, Richmond sausages rate like their posher cousins, but that may just be because of the crispy skin of the Richmonds.
 
Growing up these were the Ultimate Saussage for a Sandwich… Warburtons Thick White with Lurpack and plenty of Brown Sauce… Amazing, especially Sunday mornings whilst tackling a heavy hangover.

But haven’t had them in perhaps a century, knowing what’s in them now I just can’t.

I now always go for “Specially Selected Lincolnshire, 3 Chilli or Chipolata Saussages especially for none sandwich based meals.

They use Richmond sausages

Lower meat content sausages are easier to chew and digest than high content ones.

they also contain more fat which gives the meat more moisture. The skins are also thinner, making them easier to cut or bite through without pulling it apart.

Agreed, whilst i do prefer other sausages, it's the skin that's the factor. no one wants to be struggling to bite through when you're having a sandwich.

Do you also have the same ritual as me when eating tinned beans and sausages? That being I will eat all the sausages first one after another before touching a single bean, other than to move the beans out of the way of the sausages, and for each one it has to be cut in half once, then eaten. So for a typical 8 off sausage count, that 16 mouthfuls of sausage before any bean is even considered. And if you're not doing it like that, well, you're doing it wrong.
 
I always think the sausages the put in tins of foods, like beans and big breakfast are horrible, the make Richmonds look like the butchers best sausages
