I've never tried these Tesco Butchers Choice Turkey Sausages before, Foinavon, and am looking forward to them immenseley - as I love turkey and also like to have my pork sausages with a load of vinegar (sometimes pickled onion vinegar) from time to time, when I don't fancy them with tommy ketchup.
I reckon turkey sausages with malt vinegar will be right up my street! |

Excuse me for repeating myself, by as my post was the last one on the previous page it might be missed by anyone interested:
Anyone remember the scare stories of very well done toast being carcogenic, or salmon being full of mercury, etc, etc? Just utter balderdash for the media to pick up on to fill their agenda of making people scared to death. There was a very interesting programme I caught last week on Ch4 (I think) about food - and one of the topics they covered was about MSG. They did a vox pop in the street and everyone they interviewed said (more or less) "Oh, that stuff's terrible for you, isn't it? They went to some Asian country where it is sprinkled on almost every plate of food eaten in the cooking process, and they laughed at the supposition that it was 'bad for you'. They then went to an enormous factory where MSG is made in Asia. The glutamate part comes from Tapioca - and glutamate is in many everyday foods; tomatoes (the white bit in the middle), potatoes, and so on. The monosodium is added to produce a crystal (after distilling and so on with the tapioca). They 'talking heads' (scientists) they interviewed afterwards admitted that MSG is a perfectly safe food enhancer and just has a very bad press. Guess who created the 'bad press'? |

That was delicious Tommy. Was feeling a bit peckish and couldn't resist after starting to think about them.
I've tried Tesco Butchers choice pork but not the turkey. The pork were very good. Haven't tried them with neat vinegar, though brown sauce contains quite a lot. Will try it next time, presumably you slice them lengthwise to sop up the liquid? |

Glad to hear you enjoyed some succulent sausages, Foinavon!
No, I don't slice them lengthways - although I used to when I ate bread and had sausage sandwiches. I've been off the bread for a year now (in my opinion, something far worse for your health than any bloody sausage!) so cook my sausages in the oven on a 'magic mat' and then eat them whole, with my fingers, bite at a time, whilst dipping the sausages into tommy ketchup or vinegar. Delicious. |

Guess who created the 'bad press'? I'm guessing it was either former 'The Golden Shot' presenter Norman Vaughan, or a special Ross Kemp Glove Puppet, with the late Archbishop Makarios as my long-shot saver. |

So, they may well have had an enormous influence on people steering clear of Chinese take-aways, which, avoiding the rice, are pretty nutritionally sound - in favour of the ghee cluttered curries from the local 'Indians' or the absolute outrageous muck McDonalds serve up.

Good for you Alun!
Goodnight. |

Thinking on... but of course most of the Chinese take-away owners in Britain don't have any great (or even any) say in the 'higher echelons'.
Whereas there are many prominent 'Indian', a la Pakistani, food moguls with a great say. As for McDonalds - enough said. The proper information about people's foodstuffs being laid bare is very much a closed shop. |

I've just eaten 6 chipolatas and two thick porky-workys, dipped in tomato ketchup.
Yum yum! |

I fear that Tommy has been radicalised by the Anti-Sausage Lobby, and given his current eating habit may yet become our very first Sausage Martyr.
Still, on the bright side, it is written in the Holy Book that there will be 72 packets of Richmond Thick Pork Sausages waiting for him in the afterlife. And they are the 16 sausages to a packet format. |

haha!
I'm awaiting my delivery of a Tesco truck load of bangers as we speak, Alun! These anti-sausagers will never defeat me! |

its time people stopped eating animals.For years we were told that the tobacco plant would give you cancer if you smoked it.
Now they say "we have to do more study but we think that eating animals may have been the cause of a lot of cancers,and it seems it was caused by eating red meat(cooked or not cooked). |

By:
Have you ever tried a vegetarian sausage, brassneck?
I have. Almost as inedible as an aubergine. |
|
By:
its the same every year,a health scare on red meat just before the turkeys hit the markets.but this time they fecked it up.
no right minded person would touch a rasher of bacon or sausage again for fear of getting the big C. |

Thinking about it, the vegetarian sausage may well have been the cause of the demise of one of Stoke's largest family owned industries here about 25 years ago: Burgess's.
They were a massively popular bakers and had shops in every one of the six towns here - sometimes, more than one, plus ones in the outlying areas. When I was a kid and forced to go shopping with my mother on a Saturday, she'd make me wait in the queue in one of the Hanley shops, whilst she went elsewhere, for our order of 36 bridge rolls, 8 sausage rolls, a family trifle plus cream cakes. The shop was always packed with customers - and there must have been at least 10 women working there as counter assistants. 'Burgess's sausage rolls' were as popular (if not more so) than the locally made 'Wrights pies'. They were a byword in Stoke for the best sausage rolls you could ever eat. Approximately 1988ish, all of a sudden, Burgess's sausage rolls lost their lustre - and it was found out they'd substituted sausage meat for soya 'meat'. The company went out of business a few years later - after being one of the most successful enterprises around here. I'll bet that wouldn't have happened if the kept true to the 'proper sausage'! |

Brassneck, I still consider myself a smoker - even though I've been on the vapes for over 4 years now.
Ashtays are always available in my house and I would never, ever object to anyone smoking - anywhere. When I was 'fully fledged' though the thing which narked me more than anything about people complaining about people smoking was the great, fat, lard-@rses - many working in the hospitals - shuffling around, taking up everyone's space, moaning about smokers, whilst they contributed zilch in extra funds to the NHS to add to the budget for their health problems, whilst smokers added in taxes more than double what it takes to treat them for any health issues. |

By:
some people are never satisfied,when the smoking ban came in,it was because people objected about second hand smoke,so now the same people complain about vapes even though they are harmless.A I bet they all eat sausages from time to time,so if any anti smoker is reading this post I object to you eating sausages as you are setting a bad example to children by eating them.

By:
So many people just want to complain about things, all of the time.
I don't understand them one iota. Never have. Never will. "Live and let live - and stop bloody moaning!" is my mantra. |

I think I should start a new thread "TO ALL THE MOTHERS ON THE FORUM"(I hope all you mothers don't feed your children ,sausages,rashers,ham,or red meat,as you are showing a bad example to your children who do not know the dangers)
