For me it's Superquinn's, with Byrne's a close second.

Granby/EveryDay.
Have tried SuperQuinn's sausages and didn't see what all the fuss was about; they were bland.
Tried many brands but always come back to Granby

+1 for Superquinn sausages - can't bate 'em!

sheesh

superquinn when i can get them

dunnes simply better were really nice

Rudds sausages are good

glennryan

I prefer Kearns sausages, nice flavour...

Having done a lot of research!!!

Woodside farm sausages are the best I have ever had. I get out of bed early on a Sat. morning to get them at the farmer market.

also special mention for M&S Chipolatas.

YUM.

Superquinn all the way
Recently tried a thicker sausage from the truly Irish brand which had about 80% pork. It was scrummy

Also love the flavoured sausages more popular in the UK

Local butchers. Excellent sausages.

I like the M & S ones.

Definately Superquinn

Superquinn, Jane Russell, Hicks.

I like mallons!
But if I'm in Mayo it has to be Kelly's! And some of their black pudding! its delicious

Kelly's of Newport: finest black pudding in the state, IMO.

In Ireland, Superquinn sausages for me, they do a jumbo version from time to time at the butchers counter which is even tastier, particularly if done on a bbq.

Kearns would be a close 2nd.

If I'm home in the UK, a good jumbo Cumberland ring from Cranston's with a nice Apple chutney and I'm in heaven.

i like oulhausen not sure why!

Mallons ftw!!

Everyday and Oulhausen most days but for a treat Saints and Scholars are the best.

Lidl and Aldi do a nice (premium) sausage. It's the one in a tray with 9 in a pack. Fairly high meat content.

For me its Hodgins sausages all the way.

Mickkenny

Superquinn are the best with dunnes stores simply better sausage a very close second.
A slice of bread buttered with two sausages on it and some ketchup. That's heaven. Hungry now just thinking about it. Good job I have some in the fridge

nudger

By the way Kearn's, Byrne's, Glensallagh (Lidl) are all made by Oulhausen, same pork slightly different recipe.

I bought some Hodgin's sausages last Christmas but they were out of date (supermarket's fault).
I tried again another time and got another pack, in date, but found them really bland.
Hodgin's sausagemeat is lovely though--made a very nice batch of sausage rolls with it

tescos finest pork and apple.

Most of the regional sausages are too, they just do the distribution while the sausages are made to a recipe by one of the big 4 sausage makers. You can usually tell where in the country someone is from by the sausages they buy, Kearn's, Byrne, Granby are Dublin Sausages while Denny was never as popular in Dublin.

So what's your banger of choice.:)

Breakfast bangers only. Superquinn is the default. However, Rudd's is a great one also. Love their pudding too. The Tesco Finest Irish Pork Sausage is good too.

Prue and Simon are interesting addition to the 'posh sausage' mix also - gives Jane Russell a run for her money...

Kearns, the high meat gourmet sausage doesn't do it for me, too chewy with all that meat.

Ive never tried the superquinn ones but I have tried the Truly Irish sausages and theyre savage

Glensallagh from Lidl are my favourites, I love them on a ciabatta with chilli, rocket and goats cheese.
