The Humble Sausage.

icyfroth — Sat, 18 Apr 2015 11:58:16 GMT

I was just thinking today how much I prefer sausages done on a barbecue than steak.

I have yet to attend a barbecue where the cook doesn't turn the steak into something resembling a slightly charred piece of cardboard.

Sausages, however, are hard to ruin. They're good on a bun, lathered in tomato sauce and topped with onions.

Then I thought about other sausages. Frankfurts, for instance. I love 'em on a hot dog roll, bit of Hot English Mustard, lots of Tomato Sauce.

Aldi sell nice little sausages 5 in a jar. Bockwursts, they're called. We often have them for dinner in hot dog rolls after I've unpacked the shopping. They also sell big fat Bratwursts (veal sausages), 4 in a cryovac pack.

Fry them up and put on a bun, or they'r also nice served with Sauerkraut and potatoes. Yum.

Love the Sausage Sizzles they have at charity fundraisers or shop openings. Just the aroma from them on a Saturday morning at the kids footy game is tantalising, I find.

All hail the humble sausage.

Coles brand Honey Beef sausages - barbequed, then into a hot dog roll, with chopped cooked bacon, and topped with grated cheese and a little honey barbeque sauce.

Then into the oven for 10 mins until the roll is crisp...fantastic!

Oh - and BTW. I'm known far and wide for my culinary skills with steaks. I'm the only one allowed to touch a barbie in my family!

Icy, you haven't attended one of my Barbies.

You would get a piece of scotch or eye fillet, char grilled, either medium rare or medium with your choice of sauce, (teriyaki, sesame) or either horseradish, hot english mustard.

Served with a famous Danish potato salad.

That sounds good Kopes.

I alway use scotch fillet when I cook steak, no other cut. I never barbecue it, always pan-fry it. High heat until it's crisp on the outside, pink on the inside. Use the pan juices for gravy.

My ex used to do a brilliant steak on a barbie and make potato slices and eggs as well. Or bacon and eggs for brekky, Yum.

What goes in a famous Danish potato salad? Besides potatoes?

What a pity that the rich comedic field of opertunity offered by the title of this thread has to be resisted in the interest of self preservation. 😞

I don't like sausages anymore. Have cooked to many when the children were still at home.

Sausges and lamb shanks used to be some of the cheapest meals for a large family, Oh, and my family told me to write a Cook Book about 1001 ways with mince steak.

Those things are not cheap anymore. One lamb shank for almost $5.-, and they have about a dozen different varieties of sausage. Makes one wonder why a few herbs or spices increase the price of sausages to more than chicken.

I do cook sausages for Peter. He likes them witth mash and tomato sauce, no gravy.

Bratwurst and sauerkraut is something else and delicious when cooked the right way.

And I do love a Danish potato salad. Yum, yummy, yum.

I think you've hit a snag with that type of response!

(by the way...do our American friends know that Aussies often refer to sausages as "snags"?)

I don't like humble sausages...... spinach and pine nut chicken ones are my preference.

There once was a humble long snag,

That hated to be in a bag,

It wanted to sizzle,

Not shiver or frizzle,

But all it did really was brag!

"I am a nice sausage" it bleated,

"I would taste so nice to be heated",

So out came the pan,

But the sausage, it ran,

Straight into the gobs and was greeted!

After such a long delay I thought maybe you had a beef with me.

I never heard it called snags.

Now that I'm thoughly hungry, time for breakfast! It's already 10 am here. I meant to buy sausage yesterday for breakfast today, but forgot. Ham and eggs it is!

The same ingredients in sausage goes into these.....

I don't mind sausage rolls. Must have Tomato Sauce though. Bit dry otherwise.
