  1. Hello

    I have recently entered a competition to design a sandwich for the Co-Op. The food panel at the Co-Op liked it so much they shortlisted it for a public vote. Why am I telling you this you ask.

    The reason is that I am a lover of sausages and my sandwich contains the one and only (and my favourite) Cumberland Sauasage. To help this sandwich win the vote and get it sold in stores nationwide please see http://www.goodwithfood.co.uk/favourite . click “Vote Now” and select my sandwich. I would love everyone to vote for it and celebrate their love of Great British food.

    Thank You.

  2. I wish you well in the competition,however I have an opinion or two about our UK sausage producers.
    I love a great sausage and the one that started me on the hunt for the best was the discontinued Alpenmark Deli Bratwurst I bought from Aldi.
    The Bratwurst was the best I have ever tasted and I also used them in salads sliced thin and browned in a little oil.
    I have tasted so called prize winning sausages from the VW factory in Germany that were so poor I could not give them away after spending a fortune on them.
    I believe if their is a bratwurst out there I’ve tried it and none come close to the original Aldi Brats.
    I am loathe to burst the bubble of a lot of so called world class sausage producers and try to ignore their emails for repeat orders.
    I want a solid filled pork sausage that tastes good and does not have a man made chemical smoke taste.
    The German VW sausage tasted like a watery hot dog sausage and came in a plastic sleeve that was coated on the inside with an artificial tasting smoke liquid.
    I heard some time ago that German Bratwurst manufacturers were being investigated for keeping the prices artificially high.
    None of this stuff surprises me anymore and the more I taste it makes me feel we are being conned on taste and content too.
    These artisan butchers promise a lot but their websites lead you on to buying stuff you dont want.
    The Scottish haggis sausages I bought were almost inedible and I gave away £80 worth to a family who used them in their sausage and mash.
    I’ve tried hundreds of sausages including Aberdeen Angus and haven’t had one blow my skirt up.
    If anyone out their can recommend a half decent pork breakfast sausage , please let me know.
    Kindest regards Peter
