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.

No, sausages should not be pricked with anything, lets all the fat and juices run out and left with all the dry stuff.

I don't like sausages - essence of meat...

I havent pricked a sausage for years.

I used to.

Maybe its an old wives tale.

Same same.

Not really getting the curly sausage thing though. Never been a problem. Low heat, cook straight.

Pricking by impatient cooks.

If you feel the need to prick a sausage then you don't know how to cook good sausages.

You confuse the heck out of me, Nevynreally.

Prick or not?

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.

Sounds yum kopes..a nice piece of tender rump goes down nicely too with a touch of pepper sauce....
