Back at the end of last year I saw a documentary about how bad sausages are for you - the cheap ones you get really are - filled with sawdust, scrap metal and homeless people.
Since seeing that I finihsed the bag I had in the freezer and haven't had them since.
But I really want a sausage sandwich.
My parents buy 'proper' sausages from a decent butcher. Apparantly they don't have any sawdust in them.
Does anyone know what extremes you have to go to to get proper ones, made just from pigs (not the trotters)?
There aren't any trustworthy butchers around here, but the 'quality' supermarket ones might not really be that much better than the abertoir cocktails in the value bags.
How far do you have to go to get a decent sausage?

I suspect it's all similar, just the branding that changes.
I've worked in the offices of a chicken company who supplied the same stuff for expensive and cheap ompanies, and in a glue factory who put the same stuff into unibond etc and stores' 'own brands'.
I'm not convinced any of the mass produced stuff is particularly good.

Course they will if its fresh.
Its factory-esque stuff you need to stay away from.
What I don't like is they seem fatter, which means the texture is more loose and full of gristle. If that makes sense? When you cut them they explode.

Noo, gristle is bad too.
Apparantly they use various animal bits, including hooves, and do pad it out with sawdust. And they're full of fat, bad salt things and other stuff too. And offal and tripe - though that's not bad for you, it's just nobody will eat it.
I might be fine, but I'd rather not fill myself with that kind of stuff.
I'd happily pay a bit more for just proper meat ones, but I'm not sure if the expensive supermarket ones would really be any better.

Oh and we have a local butcher.
'Proper' sausages have loads of gristle in them but taste a lot better. Mainly because there's no meat in the cheapo ones = no gristle.
I'm sure you'll be fine. If they were really so bad they wouldn't still be around. You can't get yourself a Beef and Tomato Pot Noodle anymore but you can still buy twelve sausages for 26p.
My mum buys better quality ones but when I have BBQ's and such like with my mates we always get them. Plus we're usually drunk so we're probably not cooking them all the way through either...

I remember tha adverts but never saw the programme. What exactly is in the cheap sausages?
I ask because the only ones I ever eat are cheap one's from the supermarket.
