| 627139 | 2008-01-04 05:10:00 | Thanks for that - I'm always after good salamis which you can't get in the supermarkets. Also they've got such a hopelessly lousy website I'm asking them to let me upgrade it! :thumbs: That would be a good idea Greg! The Blackball salamis tend to be lower fat than most of the others I know. They don't have the big white chunks... |

Albert: "How're you supposed to fry it, then?" Susan: "You don't fry it." Albert: "You call that breakfast?" Susan: "It doesn't have to be fried to be breakfast. I mean, you mentioned porridge, and you don't fry porridge--" Albert: "Who says?" |

| 627142 | 2008-01-05 04:15:00 | Why do people make such a big deal over the simple act of frying sausages? I make sure they are thawed properly (if previously frozen) then I fry on low heat turning three times, once for each side after the first side is nicely browned . When the last side is brown, they are cooked right through every time . If you are really paranoid you can pre-heat in a microwave on low for 2-3 minutes just to get them started but I've never bothered . Just buy decent sausages, not the Mad Butcher or other cheap supermarket rubbish . I've been through a few meat plants and the contents of some sausages are little better than dog tucker . There are a couple of well known brands that I would never eat again after being in their processing plants . :yuck: Conversely I've been in pet food plants that had better hygiene standards and smelt better too!

It's not what they put in that bothers me, it's the hygiene conditions, or lack thereof . I can't name names or I'd breach client confidentiality, but one non-client I can point to from end user experience has huge amounts of sinew and gristle in some of their traditional/old english type sausages . I wrote to them and was ignored until I contacted the senior management, who then gave me a snow job about their quality despite my sending photos of this sinew-like ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/Heller-1 . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) non-meat material found in this ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/Heller-2 . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) product . Think what you will, and make decisions accordingly . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
