The Humble Sausage.

[icyfroth]

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.

That reminds me of a story my sister told. Her son's MIL arrived from New York and was staying. My sister worked, so the MIL decided to cook dinner, sausages, she said she had a terrible time peeling them and they fell apart whilst cooking.

She was also perplexed by the laundy and all thing pertaining to laundry.

I like to add capers to my potato salad. No suger and sometime some Anchovies. I love salty things.

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.

It's nuts Erica.  My mum makes the best recipe ever with lamb shanks in bbq sauce.  And we used to have it often cos the shanks were so cheap.  I hate paying 20 bucks for 4 shanks 😞

But Icy yes, bangers are pretty much unruinable (unless they are served under cooked urgh) I always put mine in the oven for 15 or so minutes after frying then it really crisps up the skin :))

The Jamie Oliver Pork and something sausages are really good, probs wouldnt pay the full ticket price for them, but they were reduced the other day and yeah yumm with mash and gravy for dinner 🙂

I love anchovies, (there's that sus love still going round), but on pizza.

People tend to recoil when I tell them that.

I have to agree with everything you said about sausages. I love tham and now Coles have been found have the best gourment sausages of all.

Love Bratwurst from Aldi.

I just love the smell of a sausage sizzle, we have them all the time at Bunnings in my area.  Great post and thanks for posting.

They do, ladydeburg. Had some of the beef ones and the pork ones recently, they were a really high quality snag. I cook sausages and veg at least once a fortnight, it's so great how you can get so many different flavours nowadays.

Taking the skins off sausages is very easy.  I will never eat that plastic, which resemble condoms.

I never buy sausages with plastic skins.
