Sausages just ain't what they used to be.

Trevor you will have to let us know where in Halesowen as we come home that way sometimes. They were selling a ring of Cumberland sausage last year at Iceland then it dissapeared from their shelves. Maybe not a good seller?. Shame as they were lovely. Jean.

Sausages are better than ever for me,I always buy local produce when I can.Our country market has excellent sausage,so do others,Ledbury has two butchers who have won prizes for their sausage.Have just put my order in to a local smallholding for my xmas pork,their sausages will be amongst the best.
Nah,my memories of sausage when I was a lad,are nowhere near as good as today.

Further to above.The pork from the smallholding,tasted totally different,and so much better than any supermarket products.It seems so many things are labeled English or home grown,but are not,the meat may come from anywhere,but the product is packed here,hence the U.K. label.
 
Jean,after the last roundabout on the Stourbridge Rd as it leaves Halesowen towards Stourbridge, it is a little shop several hundred yards away on the right hand side of the road.
 
Guests butcher on the stourbridge rd sell lovely home made sausages, they even do chicken ones which were great when Melanie and Demir came as they dont eat pork
Sorry Stitch didn't see you previous post, must be the same butchers I think, do you live around my neck of the woods then????

Thanks Trevor and it sounds like Pat does live quite close?. I will remember the name GUEST and Pete said he knows the roundabout as we do go that way home sometimes. Jean.
 
Patty. I live in the only 'NO BRAWomin' area in the country. Quinton and have done for the last 40 years.
 
Thats not a bad area Patty and of course it is just outside the BRAWomin exclusion zone. We are on the estate neat to Quinton Police Stn.
I am taking wrinkle to that butchers shop this morning to get a fresh chicken for a curry.
 
Have found a near perfect sausage and it is from Walter Smiths. It is their Cumberland sausage and they are very large. Take some grilling but are lovely and no fat comes out of them like some of the others. Give them a try as they are on offer at the moment. Jean.
 
Went to Tesco's today for a change. Actually it was because we had vouchers sent via their club card and if you spent £30.00 or over you had a ten pounds discount. We decided to try their sausages Traditional pork and Cumberland. Pete is going to try three of each [his choice] and I will let you know his opinion later. Jean.

As mentioned before Guests on Stourbridge Rd. Halesowen sell Home Made Sausuages. 'Honey & Mustard', 'Hot Chilli', 'Chicken' and several others. We cook our on a George Foreman and hardley any fat shows with most of them and none at all from the chicken.
 
Alan have a good time and Trevor if you send directions we will call at your butchers one day coming home from the van. Jean.
 
Hello Jean, if you can imagine that you have just gone down Mucklows Hill, there is a large traffic island, straight ahead for a few hundred yards and there is another one. Straight on again, another few hundred yards as you leave Halesowen going towards Stourbridge the road is narrow and you will see the butchers on the right. He normally has a red & white blind and I think he is closed all day Monday and half day Thursday. His phone number is 0121 550 3832
 
Nice to have you back Patty.

Jean, a word of warning about the chilli sausuage, they are more than a little hot but delicious.
 
Paul you missed the pun I think. Dear and Venison!!!!!!!. Sorry I didin't go to the food hall as we went up to Bar Beacon afterwards. Richard it ain't as pooash as it used to be. Jean.
