Id like to thank my cat for the rubbing against my leg for emotional support, morrisons for providing the bacon, and most of all, me
I love a good sausage, and Im not fancy about it. 'Cheap' sausages are often better than the more 'premium' ones. I much prefer Aldi own 8 for £1.80 cumberlands / lincolnshire sausages over most 'premium' options.
Honestly the aldi ones are probably the best bang for your buck supermarket sausage around, and trust me i know my way around a nice sausage.
They cook great, they taste great and 8 for £1.80 you cant really complain.
Im not a big fan of the Asda 8 for £1.80 sausages though, like they are fine in a pinch, but they dont cook great and have a weird texture.
You can sod off if you think im having a Richmond sausage, id rather eat a rat sausage.
Frozen sausages are just a no go for me, i dont mean ones you buy fresh then freeze, i mean the super value bags that are like 30 for £2 or whatever, you just end up with a bunch of empty space and a leathery casing with no flavor

It's always apple crumble season tbh
Hey.
So I use to buy these all the time as a kid as I had a eating condition.
Long story short for years now I have been craving newgate chicken meatballs.
Does anyone have any idea of how I can get some as they seem only to be sourced in Lidl locations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Homemade but of course using the paste that rapidly forms the gloop we love. I always add thick slices of onion, green pepper and mushrooms, I also throw in some Birds Eye chillies to heat it up. Served on basmati and crunchy fries, heaven
Pork sausages, pork sausage rolls and pork black pudding 🔥
Was advertised as £110 of meat but I'm pretty sure it's closer to £70's worth.
That said I only paid £60 including delivery so a small saving.
Got 1.5kg of sausages I would never buy again as the meat content is 69% which is awful imo.
The dates are good enough that I didn't have to fill the freezer with it all.
Total haul was :
Beef Roasting Joint 800g (Intend to cook tomorrow, Sunday)
2 Prime Sirloin Steaks 400g
Gammon Steaks 800g (4 x 200g, had these today, they were fine but we are not big eaters of gammon so not sure how fine),
Pork Loin Joint 1kg
Chicken Breast Fillets 800g
Diced Chicken Breast 600g
Pork Loin Steaks 600g
Lean Steak Mince 400g
Chinese Chicken Drumsticks 1kg
Pork Sausages 1kg
BBQ Chicken Wings 1.0kg
Cumberland Sausages 500g
Prime Back Bacon 1.0kg
Black Pudding Stick 450g
The last pic the gammon looks a little discoloured but it had been under the grill for 5 mins before I remembered to take a pic.
They were roughly cut though.
Anyway, I was tempted by what could have been a good bargain and I'm not unhappy so far with the deal (I'm just a poor working man with a family, not a butcher or chef).
Thought I would post it here for info and maybe some feedback or advice on future purchases.
From scratch. A half day chicken marinade in vinegar, chili and tomato, plus caramelised and blended onions really set this up. There are flax seeds in the rice, not weevils.
The packet felt strangely lumpy when I unpacked it from my ocado delivery. Thought one had flipped over inside, but turned out to be an extra bonus piece! :D
Need to tweak a few things (the recipe was _heavy_ on the black pepper, even after I wound it back), should have baked slower and longer and then cranked up at the end to colour it.
My niece has recently gone to Uni and it's her birthday soon. She's always helped cook at home, but now she's cooking just for herself I want to get her a care package of things to experiment with.
So far I have
Emma Basic Japanese Curry Cubes.
Chinese crushed Chilli Oil.
Some fun ramen packets.
Sostrene Grene egg salt and vegetable seasoning.
Tata Satay seasoning and the coconut cream to go with it.
Crispy Garlic
Gochugang Chilli Paste.
Avocado flavour crisps.
Would love some other ideas. Needs to be purchased online. Preferably nothing too heavy.
Went to lidl and grabbed some fish, mash potatoes and mushy peas here is end product made within 20mins shame I had no mint sauce to add to the mushy peas though. I did add a tablespoon of butter to help it out a lidl bit ... (ba dum tish).
Flew into a wall at work yesterday and ended itself near my car! There is not a scratch on it!! Very weird!!
I am taking it as a message, and I want to do it proud. So, today I had to get the big pants on and use YouTube to get proper messy and get it ready.
Tomorrow, I am hoping that I do indeed, do it proud!!
Also another tick in the Doomsday prep book 😄
