Rashers or Sausages ?

minidazzler

A standard rasher beats a standard sausage any day of the week.

But a High end sausage is far better than any high-end rasher.

Sausages. Rashers look and taste like pig's ears.

Having tried pigs ear in Latvia I can tell you that's blatantly untrue. Pigs ear is rank! I tried my best to eat it but I as going to spew if I tried eating any more of it. Everything about pigs ear is disgusting, from the look, to the texture, to the taste.

I had pigs ear in Madrid. It was delicious

superquinn sausages are better than any rasher, anybody who says otherwise is just poor but could still afford the extremely similar Lidl sausages!

I was in Spain in June and the sausages they had in the hotel i was in were disgusting, tasteless with big lumps of grissle and unidentifiable substances. They had many different types, i tried 2 or 3 and had to spit them out. On one morning the sausages were grey, horrible looking. The rashers were okay, very thin with lots of eat, and very salty.

Irish sausages are by far and away the best. Any non Irish sausages I ever had was crap.

I love rashers too especially the maple cured ones but given the choice between the two I'd pick sausages. A feed of sausages and rashers is a must every Saturday and Sunday.

Also Clonakilty sausages ftw!!

Ireland does indeed do the best sausages, but the north west UK (Cumbria in particular) have some excellent ones too.

A really good sausage beats a rasher, but sausage quality can be all over the shop, you generally know what you are getting with a rasher.

Your average Irish sausage is better than your average English sausage but your average gourmet English sausage is much better than your average gourmet Irish sausage which seems to just be a typical sausage in a fancy pack.

I like a nice straight forward plain Irish sausage never mind them gourmet sausages. Also sausages are exclusively a breakfast food imo with the one exception of a bbq. Bangers and mash or something like that would be my idea of a way to enjoy a sausage.

I have never eaten a sausage in the UK even close to a nice Irish sausage.

In america the rashers are unreal, i eat them there. The sausages are absolutely disgusting. Even the bread is gross, its too sweet.

Whatever youre used to I suppose

Sausages. I would ho' for Superquinn sausages.

I hate those weird sausages with herbs and stuff in them. Give me a normal sausage any day. Nothing worse than going to a "fancy" hotel and getting your breakfast and they try and make it look sosphiscated by giving you garlic and herb sausages

Nothing weird about these my friend! Just deliciousness, 80% pork and made in Cork - sure what more could ya want :-D

Oh and for the record they also do "ordinary" sausages without the "herbs and stuff" ;-)

Toasted sausage and cheese 'rambo', lovely! Throw a couple of rashers in there too if you fancy

Im actually not a fan of either. Black pudding tbh.

cant believe anyone would choose sausages instead of rashers :eek:. At least you know what your eating with the rashers!

I could eat rashers every day for a year and still not get tired of them.

Maple bacon? You can buy it here. Not a big fan, but wouldn't turn my nose up at it. Bacon is bacon, afterall.

I think it's next to impossible to get good rashers or sausages in shops these days and it turns me off ever buying them. .

There's lots of good butchers around the country that make their own sausages with decent ingredients. And you can always tell a good butcher if he sells his own dry cured rashers.

If you can't find one locally, James Whelan deliver nationwide. Their meats are superb quality. http://www.jameswhelanbutchers.com/categories.php

Or try McCarthys of Kenturk - they do excellent free range pork products.

Sorry but it's fried for me. So much tastier.

It's like choosing your favourite child...rashers edge it but sausages are better in bread I think.

The only meats that go well well with cheese are ham and burgers. Anything else is a waste of a fine piece of animal.

We are becoming very Americanised by melting cheese onto every dish. Overpowers the other flavours, in my opinion.

It's one of the best hangover cures ever.....and I'm not a big cheese eater at all

You don't know what you are missing, man. Some excellent cheeses to be got in Ireland these days. Only got into trying them out myself recently enough myself. Don't let the smell put you off!

We have got some excellent homegrown produce on this wee island. Excellent meats, fresh veg, diary products and now even micro brews.

One of the best things about the country.

You can't just take a big bite into a rasher. Sausages. Simple as.

Pigs in blankets? Had some of them in London recently. Nothing to write home about to be honest. :cool:

I do love a big jumbo sausage me.

Also, sausage and cheese in a sambo are delicious!

This is like something from Tripadvisor...

Definitely sausages over rashers. Lidl sausages are one of the nicest i ever had. Supervalue ones are very nice though a tad over rated.

Saying that id rather cheap bacon over cheap sausages.

Purchase neither. Do you chaps not have a local butchers at all at all? Why purchase mass produced garbage from chain supermarkets when for an extra euro or so you can buy quality produce from a butchers.

The mind boggles.

Shit in a bag, tied around the hind legs of a kitten hanged by its neck with barbed wire from an overpass where feral children hurl lumps of reinforced concrete onto traffic below, killing and maiming children younger than themselves - broken orbital bones, permanent injuries - lives destroyed.

by asking folks if they like sausages or rashers are you secretly asking if they like mickey's or fanny's?

Sausages for definite although the SMELL of smoked bacon under the grill is haard to beat. Sausages win though.
