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.

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.
