Bag of 20 for £1.00. That's 5 pence a banger. Who said food prices are rising?

I've had them (i know, i know, but I am poor) and I can testify that they are bloody awful. sick2:
-
SWMBO has bought some ~ we shall see.
-
The Sainburys cheap ones are OK though. But be warned the 'basics' bacon tastes of fish. cry:
-
eeek:
-
And while we are at it the Sainsburys 'basics' filter coffee is like urine soaked sawdust.
You get what you pay for. happy088

Have to admit we don't ever use Sainsbury 'cept in extreme emergencies.
Funny thing is our local butcher makes sausages that are brilliant (but epxensive) ~ kids won't eeat them. They prefer cheap ones.
Brother, who is a butcher and has been since leaving school in 1966, has not eaten sausages since his first week in the job.
-
My children are the same, give them a high quality meaty sausage and they turn their noses up at it.
I buy them Sainsbury's "Thick Irish Sausages" rubschin:
-
I love good quality sausages. We have a couple of handy local butchers who do great ones including a pork & black pepper variety that is to die for. cloud9:
He doesnt make them very often though so I might have throw a brick through his window to encourage him. spider:

All this talk of bangers ~ I'm tempted to drag out the BBQ.......... But then the George Foreman Grill does a good job, wipes clean and I don't get wet if it rains.

Good idea. I might get the asbestos chefs hat & the BBQ out if the weather holds. More fun than the old GF grill. It's the risk of self immolation that adds spice to the occasion I find.

I've been out to the garden and looked at the BBQ spider: spider: spider: spider: spider:
And I doubt that it was cleaned after the last time it was used (Summer 2006 I suspect).
Looks like George Foreman wins this time.

You could grease the Thames Barrier with the fat that slides off the Gorge Foreman eeek:

Which is another good reason to use it.

Ogre Foreman's grill also work well with garden snails. (once they have been suitably perpared)

Now then Brian, I want you to think of this as an adventure trip to a very warm country, you may feel some initial discomfort.

Still works... it is the old grease that gives the food its flavour - NEVER clean a BBQ. noooo:

How about the rust on the grill, the spiders that have taken up residence, the fungi growing on the heatable "lava rocks" and the general air of decay surrounding the whole thing?
Time perhaps to ditch the bloody thing and rely on those 99p disposables from the local Shell Garage

Another quitter...

It is also starting to rain. thatsit: As SWMBO has delighted in pointing out to the children, as in "Your FATHER (sniff) wants us to eat our supper in the rain (sniff!)"
It's only a few drops on the wind and the sun is shining.

So, big George wins eh?
It's tuna steaks here... grilled to perfection with a bit of luck cloud9:
Did you read about the family during the week that decided to move the BBQ indoors? Fire brigade called out, naturally ::)
-
Nick's place by any chance?
-
If it really good Tuna, have it raw...
"Yumster", I believe, is the term used hereabouts...
-
Well, it wouldn't surprise...
Easy on him, I imagine he's had a traumatic day. Prolly on his way up the M6 as we 'speak' rubschin:

Yes ~ Of course ~ an unhappy trip to London.
Maybe he'll be staying overnight with his cousin in Barnet. I sort of gathered that was the plan.

Aha... well, we'll see. I used to live in Barnet. Graham Hill crashed his plane at the local Arkley golf course sad24:
-
Point of pedantry here - "Sushi" is a generic term involving that style of food - which may or may not necessarily include raw fish.
Raw fish is "Sashimi" I believe.
(Pedantry ends)
-
Isn't "Barnet" rhyming slang BM should know about?

Indeed, our Barman should have a fair idea of the vernacular; and if not it can be remedied by a dose of syrup of figs, a fruit that I understand is plentiful in his parts ;)

Strangely Mr Foreman failed to extract more than a teaspoonfull of fat from all 12 of them. They were still dry.
Frankly TMR I think Chappie might have been in there somewhere.

Bump
Me & Mrs TG have just booked a dirty weekend away at the end of August. Nice 5 star B&B in Lincoln.
On the breakfast menu we find..."or the more adventurous, a poacher sausage made with Lincolnshire cheese and honey."
Sounds nice.... rubschin:
Not that I'm going to Lincoln for a sausage you understand. I believe they have a nice cathedral and other places of cultural & historic importance. whistle:

Cheese and honey sausages - that is just bad and wrong... noooo:

No ~ she lives a fair way from Lincoln and anyway is more or less housebound these days. I just mentioned it in passing really.
The sausages sound good. After all one eats honey cured bacon. Plate of bangers of that sort with some fresh crusty bread should set you up for the day ~ mind you I'd be a bit dubious of having them with fried eggs.

Skegness was (is) the pits.
Back in my singles days I had a couple of holiday 'courses' based at Sheffield University, one a dinghy sailing course up at the reservoirs and the other a weeks 'flying' experience, hang gliding, gliders, microlights and the like.
A great way to have a holiday when you're on your own.

Were Lincolnshire sausages involved?

Probably.
