Victor Churchill at 132 Queen Street Woollahra would have to be one of the best butchers in Australia, if not the best. If you can afford it, that is. The most attractively laid out and cleanest butchery I can recall seeing, with service to match. Aside from being the best quality meat I have ever encountered, it is also, by far, the most expensive. I go there only once or twice a year. To do otherwise might be hazardous for my bank balance.

I prefer snags with some fat in them.. we have gone overboard with no fat no salt.. no taste....cook /fry a sausage now and there is no fat in the pan at all...

they are just solid...with tough skins....I dont think they should be allowed to put whatever in them.. but surely if they sell well they must be doing something right...

dunno about you but I dont go back if I dont like..

If you want first grade meat then I recommend Halal. They don't dare risk a suicide bombing and so they sell only the best cuts to their customers.

'Country Style' sausages at Coles used to be the only snags I would buy, but they've disappeared over the past few months.

Meanwhile, it's only Hungarian salami for me, thank you (medium hot).

Some Polish kranskys are good, but you've got to pick the right ones.

I only eat sausages 2-3 times a year but, when I do, I want them to be decent and it is because most of them are utter rubbish that I have been obsessing over it.

I bought one at Bunnings the other week when I had a zillion things to do before I could go home and when I drove into the carpark the bbq cooking smells were too tempting to refuse. The sausage sandwich, however, was disgusting and was tossed after 1 bite.

My grandfather used to call them 'little bags of mystery'.

Reply #9 - May 23^rd, 2016 at 4:44pm I quite like a nice fat pork sausage, but the problem is most of the ones one buys are crap. I am even tempted at Woolies by such names as gourmet pork sausages, cumberland sausages, this means nothing they all taste crap As far as the ones with added flavours/ingredients forget them all are tasteless imo

I think you must live near my place. The delicious smell of sausages and onions on the hot-plate outside the Bunnings entrance carries for miles. I love those sausages with heaps of onion. Mind you, they only taste delicious if you haven't eaten them for awhile.

My second ever paid job was as a kid making sausages in a butcher's on Saturday mornings - turning the handle and twisting these condoms as they filled with mince to the right size.

By FAR the best sausages I ever ate was at Boarding School for breakfast. Skinny things that were usually burnt on one side where they hadn't been turned over quickly enough.

Todays sausages are at least 50% fat it's cheaper than using meat

Quick and easy to cook 3. Great on a BBQ but mostly cheap 1kg of sausages goes a lot further than 1kg of scotch fillet, especially with kids and at 1/5th of the price

ok cods is having another whinge..

this time its about the mince we are basically forced to buy..

again its another cheapo feed... but its also popular...however the latest way of mincing I DONT LIKE...its like little worms...it all looks very nice in the packaging...yes basically talking supermarket..but when its cooked its still in the same shape.. little worms..short of smashing it with a potato masher...nothing I do changes it... I always brown it off first and drain off whatever comes out of it.. I hate that fat.....but it still ends up being little worms...

does anyone else notice this???...I dont think it is like it once was...

Maybe it's added preservatives that are doing it - after all, mince goes off quicker than a whole piece of meat.

Which is why I prefer to go to the butcher and get them to select a cut of meat and mince it on the spot for me. It's more expensive, but it's worth it - and you know it's pure meat, with no additives.
