markb28 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 A short post. I have always hated the sausages from the supermarket here but..... I then discovered Jamie Oliver Cumberland pork sausages in Woolworths. Can confirm a genuine English pork sausage experience. Bit expensive at 8 bucks for 5, but totally worth it. Give them a try.

Azh Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have to say.... Australia has the worst sausages I have ever tasted..(waiting for the jokes) Just disgusting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I would agree with the terrible sausages. That said, since getting back from our visit my son has been going on and on about having "chicken sausages" that we tried when we were over. Now just have to track them down here...

wakeboard1980 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I miss the sausages in Aus. Can't do pork sausages. It's what you're used to I suppose. Always get the beef sausages from Sainsburys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johndoe Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you're into pork, there's Costco Irish Pork, with Aldi pork sausage running 2nd...............I'd rather have the fat in pork than the bread crumb in beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm selling real pork pies and decent sausages made by a local butcher who originates from SE London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpingjellybean Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Supermarket sausages are revolting here. But normally good if you buy them at the Farmers Markets or local butcher. The following gourmet butcher has won loads of awards for sausages: http://www.tendervalue.com.au/sausage-list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea211 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 One of the things I do miss in Aus is the UK sausages and bacon. The Aus bacon is weird is a common complaint in the English born half of my family. For a country so obsessed with BBQs I don't know why they haven't got good sausages. Anyone know any good suppliers in Melbourne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambethlad Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I got some Jamie Oliver stuff from Woolies this week. I don't pay full price. If you go into Woolies around 11am they mark down meats by 50% that are near the use by date. I just put them in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am loving get the bacon here, I had got used to Australian bacon I suppose but it was a revelation when we got back here, so much flavour.

Jacaranda Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have to say.... Australia has the worst sausages I have ever tasted..(waiting for the jokes) Just disgusting.. The thin ones seem to go down better!Although having said that I also like thick ones! Different sizes suit different people right?Some like those cocktail franks,but no,not much pleasure in those I'm afraid.Seen too many in my time! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found a lot of bacon in Australia quite fishy as I understand they use a lot of fish meal for feeding the pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found a lot of bacon in Australia quite fishy as I understand they use a lot of fish meal for feeding the pigs. Or it might be your taste..... Your second point is not factual. The sad fact is 70% of Australian bacon & ham etc is made offshore and brought back into Australia where it is heat treated to kill off any nasties (this is the reason for the slightly odd almost cooked consistency of the bacon). You really are better buying bacon from a butcher than the supermarket. http://ausfoodnews.com.au/2010/03/15/bringing-home-the-bacon.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
