So the cheapest from Aldi worked out at just under £5 per Kg. I was at my local butchers a couple a days ago and they make the most awesome sausages and they are about £4.50 per kg. So cheaper and supporting my local butcher. Hadn't really thought about the price per Kg until watching this video - made my day to realise the small local shop can beat Aldi!
We have one in the country side they sell so many the are constantly making them in huge out back area if it's not from their own cattle pigs ect They tell you what local farm the meat is sourced ,it's as you say much cheaper than any supermarket ,£1.65 for the best pies I've ever eaten ,it's about an 11 mile drive but always spend about £30 including fillet steak pies sausages bacon lasts days 🇬🇧🍀👍🏼
@@Danechip don’t care what the snobs say, why pay £20 per head for breakfast in a hotel when you can get an enormous English for about a fiver in Spoons?
Unfortunately some small towns don’t have a butchers, I don’t buy butcher meat from supermarkets I always go to the butchers we are lucky we have a very good butchers and he even delivers for free he started it because of covid but he has kept it going
Love the reviews, and what tops it off is... The chew The nodding The squint/ furrowed brow The head shake side to side The laugh And the ummm It literally cracks me up every time! Its brilliant! Its the no sugar coated, honest reviews , keep doing what you are doing, its a winning combo 👍
Hi Gareth, I'm a 75 year old retired gentleman of leisure. In my thirties I worked for six years at a Turkey farm in Sussex which also raised sheep (300 breeding ewes) beef cattle, pigs and a flock of chickens for the eggs. I was part of the farm shop setup and my duties were turkey plucking, frozen meat etc stock control, deliveries and I was the sausage maker. We made turkey and pork sausages and possibly beef as well but my memory isn't what it was. Lol. The recipe for each type of sausage was reached after a lot of trial and error. (Before my time) I can honestly say the pork sausages were the best I've ever tasted and nothing since has come anywhere near. Geoff.
That's it, isn't it Geoff. The best can never replace the rest. For me it's a struggle to keep getting that one in particular, because every time I find one outstanding from the rest, it gets deleted for something new... Too much choice and not enough maintainable.
@@johndavis7944 Hi John, I heard some years later that the farmer, my old boss sold the sausage recipes to another farm shop a few miles away, they were that good.
@@Danechip Please explain as I don't understand. The sausage mixture/filling was made up by me and put into a sausage making machine. It was a manually operated machine.
my thumbnail is myself with my older brother who sadly passed away a couple of years ago from pancreatic cancer, he was 53 years old. He would of loved your channel as he loved food as much as i do and your youtube channel puts a smile on my face. really glad to see something that is great to watch and honest by comparing different foods and prices. keep it up and take care to you and your family. Big Chappers 👍🏼😁
Interesting comparison. These days the price is definitely a factor. I tend to buy the Morrison's Cumberland (I found the Lincolnshire too herby and needed more salt). Being a single chap I used to cook all six, eat 3 with balsamic onion chutney, mash, spring cabbage with mint sauce; the remainder split between sausage sandwiches (and a little HP sauce) & in a pasta bake the following day. Not now. I freeze half so I'm not sausaged out!
@@lochamb1234 It's Morrisons "The Best" Caramelised Balsamic Onion Chutney (305g) which they describe as follows: "Our rich and flavourful blend of red onion, caramelised with muscovado sugar and balsamic vinegar, Suitable for vegans." As a matter of interest, for my mash I use Maris Piper potatoes now, as they are readily available to buy online, but I used to use the Charlotte new potatoes - boiled, drained and mashed with a little butter - as I discovered they were really good. The mint sauce was primarily there in case the cabbage was on the bitter side, although the mint jelly is probably nicer.
I tried Heck sausages in my air fryer this morning they were cooked to perfection, and not having to avoid the spitting from the pan when doing them on the stove was a welcome relief, glad your doing this as it’s usually a hit and a miss with sausages
Hi I always buy Aldi pork chipolata sausages, they taste lovely and I think they’re 94 or 96% meat, they also are £1.99 per pack, but being thinner you get 12 in the pack, great taste test tfs Jax 🥰 x
Your face when you tasted each one was so entertaining, love the way you enjoy your food. They all seem great sausages, so if they all stack up as juicy and flavoursome, it makes sense to go for the cheaper end of the range. Another fab video. 👌
I really love sausages. I’ve always bought M and S thinking they use the best quality meat. I’m off today to Aldi to give their sausages a go. 😮 great comparison video!
I have to have a gluten free diet and I think Asda extra special gf sausages are delicious. I usually get the red onion ones. They used to do maple syrup and bacon flavour ones, which absolutely delicious, but for some reason, they stopped them 😢
Years ago I used to work in a restaurant in the kitchen and they used Robirch sausages, they were yummy, I bet they have shut down now I can't find them anywhere. I can't eat meat but I would definitely try them. Xx
Morning Gareth! The cutlery/utensil gift was such a thoughtful thing to do, you clearly bring out the 'best' in viewers. Sausages (in the oven) are my bestist form of nosebag, either by themselves or Desperate Dan style! You really have to 'suffer' for your art, don't you? Should you not get 'em all in the chest freezer my address is a-coming your way! VBW x P.S. Sign of the times dept, the ASDA range have shot up in price by 25% since the film was published, they are now 2 packs for a fiver (or were yesterday) The M&S sausages will be the same price as your pack of tested of Lurpack in a fortnight or two.
I got recommended one of your videos yesterday by the CZcams algorithm and I've binge watched ever since! Really good videos, I particularly like the vs videos like weetibix vs Aldi etc. Keep em coming! Subscribed and bell rung.
My favourite store bought are Irish Denny's, I notice Iceland sell them. I get the small chipotle ones and fry them😋 they're lovely room temperature also.
With reference to the £1 difference between M&S and Aldi, sometimes it's about the ingredients, not just the taste. There are plenty of additives to make something taste nice.
Another great review Gareth it goes to show that from the most expensive to the cheapest there's nothing in it 👍 you don't have to spend a lot for a good sausage keep up the good work mate 👍🍻
A good review again just rembering back in time used to enjoy Tomato sausages nice for breakfast ....my local supermartket sells cippolate small sausages 10 on a tray from a local farm and only costs £1 ....excellent value
You would probably prefer the cheaper Morrisons sausages. They tend to put more herbs in the more expensive range. I am not 100% keen on Coriander myself.
Long may aldi reign. A real godsend in these challenging times. Quality and value. Great review Gareth. Do your kids ask you why some of there food is missing. Lol.
i think looking at the fat percentage is a pretty good indicator here, it can reveal what types of cuts theyre selecting for the sausage, a higher fat content cut is usually a more premium one, some of the selection here had a drastic shift into lower fat content when looking at the traffic lights, it shows theyre using the side cuts of the animal which get thrown to the side as they have little fat (flavor) content.
Brilliant vid. I don't like nutmeg or mace in sausages, and it depends if it is a breakfast sausage, or a dinner treat. You could try a taste off with nitrite / sulphate free bacon and sausages, as that is supposed to be the stuff that is unhealthy in `processed' food. Thanks.
Cheers Gareth thanks for the great review, They all look really good . Fair play you will be living on sausages all next week . Thanks buddy see you soon on the next one ☝️
There wasn't that much difference in the nodding after having a munch the lot of them . So I'll give the Aldi bangers a go next time I go in Another useful review G Spot on
Great !😜 1. M&S One of our favourites.! 👍2, Morrisons.. An OK choice BUT we find sometimes they tend to be a dry. 6. Heck sausages are again OK, favour et (They do chicken ones as well) 7. Aldi - generally OK Usually bangers and mash with decent gravy. 👍
Hi, Gareth. Another brill review. Looked like sausage heaven lol. Everyone looked top quality. As you say, it depends if you like your sausage to have a herby taste or more meatier. I'd go for the Aldi personally from a value for money pointt iof view. Keep up the excellent work. Best wishes from Scotland.
I do like the Heck ones and buy them when on offer. The one thing that has happened over the last few years which is great is that most of the decent sausages (like these) are now gluten free for those of us who have to avoid that.
@Dreamweaver 787 Sorry but this is nonsense. The only thing that has changed is using rice flour instead of wheatflour and if they were not labelled as GF you wouldn't even notice the difference. You can still buy other sausages with wheat in them if you like. And by the way Coeliac disease is not an "intolerance"...it's an autoimmune condition that causes serious health complications if left untreated.
@Dreamweaver 787 You are comparing apples and pears. One use of it is on a brewing process and the other is in small quantities as a binding agent. Methinks you are just a contrary old bore who would find anything to complain about given enough time
Hi Gareth, I’ve been in hospital since Tuesday so I’ve missed your live show, but I’m catching up..they look delicious but l have to buy skinless sausage. Great review.👍
We are having OUR PORK SHOP Margoram sausages for me and our Thomas, and chilli ones for my wife Phannee. Oven cooked for flavour with our own rice and Edible Oil Seed Rape, a delish green veg out of our "garden" ( two acres).
It’s nice to see that you’ve now gotten another thousand subscribers Gary you really deserve it as you work so damn hard every single day . I mainly only watch you and the Macmaster and I just simply connect my IPhone 12 to my SKY Q and then I can obvs create a good queue for the evening , congrats 🥳 matey Xx
Oh don’t you worry I certainly will do whilst I’m making my tea in the kitchen @ 8pm ….. I hate posh people who mainly live down south that call it dinner as us northeners always call it our tea Gary Lol Xx
Quite an eye-opener, this one.. I agree totally about over-herbing...Coriander ?...Pepper is the thing that gets me.. Some of 'em over-do it. I'm like you. It's the meatiness that matters, they have to taste like pork...! I told you before about Westaways from Asda, 16 in a box, minimal packaging., lovely tasting...correct seasoning, I think. Horses for courses though, isn't it. Breakfast..Toad in the hole..Sausage casserole...In a sandwich or de-skinned for stuffing....whatever. One more thing...Colour is flavour..! Very true for a sausage. I noticed that M&S split open...Not good..Moisture lost..Happens when pan frying, I know..Slightly too hot, pan wise, and that can happen to the best. But, you ovened them...Hmmm...Bad M&S..!!! I usually do mine in the oven for breakfast..Can't remember a splitter. But I do turn them often and exceed the stated cook time. Here's a tip..When I oven them, I rub each sausage with rape seed oil first. I think it helps. Cracking "heads up" though...I'm off to Tesco for my next sausage... Thanks mate, another good'un.
This is brilliant Gareth. It just goes to show we are paying for a ‘label’, as ‘ASH’ pointed out; if you put any of these on a roll or a piece with brown sauce, would anybody be able to tell the difference? I doubt it, and I don’t think I would be able to. Price increases . . . I think the supermarkets are ripping us all off now. If prices are going to increase, they should increase incrementally, not by a jump of 5 or even 10%. Customers will look for the best, cheapest alternative and stick with that, the result being the loss of custom to the greediest supermarkets. This is what makes your work invaluable. Thanks for the excellent review pal. All the best to you and yours.
For sausages, my mate Steve the butcher is the only option. Makes me spoiled, I know, but I've seen the quality he produces. Just occasionally I give in and buy Walls or Richmond to remind me of sausages and tomato soup when I was a kid. Always end up feeling unwell.
I get Dicksons thick pork sausages in Asda and I think their the best 😋 I always cook mine in the oven too, I tried heck once but thought they were funky tasting and pretty disgusting 🤢 and some of the supermarket brands are too watery, good review kidda I enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Overall I think your conclusion sums it up well. It comes down to personal preferences. 👀We used to (going back to the 80s) Walls porkers.. NOW? Nah..😶 a lot of manufacturers changed their recipes.. 👀
Great review, deffo gonna try the Aldi ones. Finally found some plates like yours only they are blue £3.50 each from Tesco, they only had the dinner plates and bowls 😀😀
Many years ago Co-Op used to do their own sausages. I remember they were a bit shorter than usual and very plump, like an oversized cocktail sausage. Don't think they were a particular style like Cumberland or Lincolnshire, just regular pork sausages. But they were absolutely gorgeous, super meaty and the seasoning was perfect. Short of proper butcher's sausages, they were the best bangers I've had still to this day. Sadly they changed the recipe. Completely different now. Not unpleasant but nothing like the ones I remember. I'll have to give the Asda and Iceland ones a go next week. 😀
Oh, well. Cath and I sat "hmm"ing at each other between tastes. "What do you think, Cath, hmm, hmm?" And when he said he'd have a drink between sausages, well, a Scotch after each nibble, the end result should be fun! "This is a great haggis, seasoning's just right. Hmm". Superb, Gareth, another masterpiece.
G'day Gareth. Wow.. 🤤 a sausage convention. Half your luck having such a choice to choose from. This video was a Banga of a review. Very professionally thought out and executed. Cooking them all together at the one time and tasting from expensive to cheapest is the best way. It set off Hunger pangs and now I want....need a sausage fix.. Great value for effort Gareth. Cheers 😀👍🤤🇦🇺
i had a look at ingredients of m&s vs aldi and they virtually same apart from casings being pork at m&s but id say they both from same factory. really good review thatll save a lot of money. great!
Good morning x Happy Sunday, bless you. 💕 Sausages them heck chicken, are very nice. Can't wait to see the results, can't wack a sausage bun x tesco chipolatas are tasty..
That was a spot on review we love all your videos I keep looking for new things In Iceland and Lidl thanks for a great night on Friday me and the wife really really enjoy it keep up the great work stay safe to you and your lovely family

You're welcome
Sainsburys & Lidl are the nearest shops,so sainsburys butchers choice or Lidl deluxe are both delicious 😋
Flipping heck that's a lot of bangers
The Coop ones are pretty fab I think they're usually 2 packs for a fiver.Lots of different flavours but really yummy.x
thanks 😊

cheers Steven thanks much appreciated.
Heck seems to be the only one that doesn't have water as the second ingredient. Nice!
Great review, thanks. I prefer the Asda, rather than the Morrison sausages. Must now go and try Tesco's Finest now.
I usually go with heck but they are normally £3 where I am. They have a short ingredients list which I like! 97% meat and usually not to fatty.
There wasn't that much difference in the nodding after having a munch the lot of them . So I'll give the Aldi bangers a go next time I go in
Another useful review G

I like their reduced fat ones
Good review once again. Do eat Aldi sausage sometimes. Lovely with cauliflower cheese and mash. Going to have this for my tea sometime next week xx

Customers will look for the best, cheapest alternative and stick with that, the result being the loss of custom to the greediest supermarkets. This is what makes your work invaluable. Thanks for the excellent review pal. All the best to you and yours.
cheers John, yes definitely. For value Aldi and Heck were the best. Depends on peoples budget i guess. All the best mate.
Thanks! I have now randomly searched and found about 5 of your videos over the years. I think it's time to subscribe.
Welcome aboard! Cheers 👍
I've been binging your vids tonight 👍 and it's my cheat day the morra and those sausages have put me right in the mood 😍😁
oh enjoy the food Brian. Keep the diet up.
For sausages, my mate Steve the butcher is the only option. Makes me spoiled, I know, but I've seen the quality he produces. Just occasionally I give in and buy Walls or Richmond to remind me of sausages and tomato soup when I was a kid. Always end up feeling unwell.
cheers Robert
Excellent review Gareth. It was very detailed. Great selection of sausages. Very good comparison. 👌👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Just come across this one, as usual love the content. Asda special sausages chill ones are great, as I know you like spice, give them a go
Thanks for the tips!
Asda’s best are my fave!
Cooked on the BBQ they are absolutely spot on😉
And thank you very much for reading my message 🤣
you're welcome
I get Dicksons thick pork sausages in Asda and I think their the best 😋 I always cook mine in the oven too, I tried heck once but thought they were funky tasting and pretty disgusting 🤢 and some of the supermarket brands are too watery, good review kidda I enjoyed the video 👍🏻
thanks 😊
Love the sausage review, your right who needs corrinader in their sausage
Overall I think your conclusion sums it up well. It comes down to personal preferences. 👀We used to (going back to the 80s) Walls porkers.. NOW? Nah..😶 a lot of manufacturers changed their recipes.. 👀
Great review, deffo gonna try the Aldi ones. Finally found some plates like yours only they are blue £3.50 each from Tesco, they only had the dinner plates and bowls 😀😀
Nice one!
Nice review gareth
I normally get iceland luxury
But I gonna try the others
Enjoyed watching 👀 👌 ☺️
Best wishes gareth
Thanks 👍cheers Kizzy
Many years ago Co-Op used to do their own sausages. I remember they were a bit shorter than usual and very plump, like an oversized cocktail sausage. Don't think they were a particular style like Cumberland or Lincolnshire, just regular pork sausages. But they were absolutely gorgeous, super meaty and the seasoning was perfect. Short of proper butcher's sausages, they were the best bangers I've had still to this day.
Sadly they changed the recipe. Completely different now. Not unpleasant but nothing like the ones I remember.
I'll have to give the Asda and Iceland ones a go next week. 😀
thanks pal, cracking comment.
Hi I remember coop butches in BURY , SELLING LOOSE PORK SAUSAGES , ,absolutely the best I’ve 3ver eaten ,but I’m going back 45 years , ,sadly missed ,
one should always clear the palate between bites which you have done, what a pro.
haha well i wouldent go that far but will take it Simon lol
Fair play your channel keeps on getting better and better 👌🏻
Thanks 👍 very kind Rhys
Interesting one Gareth. Would love you to have included the Co-op ones too 🙂
yes sorry missed them
Oh, well. Cath and I sat "hmm"ing at each other between tastes. "What do you think, Cath, hmm, hmm?" And when he said he'd have a drink between sausages, well, a Scotch after each nibble, the end result should be fun! "This is a great haggis, seasoning's just right. Hmm". Superb, Gareth, another masterpiece.
haha cheers Tony, thanks.
Don't know if it's just me. But he makes the most satisfying "mmmm's"!
cheers mate I aim to please haha myself
Ratings mate! Gives a bit of a debate subject and scale for others to try against! Might make more noise on your vids 🙏🏼 funny guy, I’m a fan haha
cheers
great video pal , i love the heck sausages !! please could u review the cathedral city pork and cheddar sausage rolls
Will do soon
G'day Gareth. Wow.. 🤤 a sausage convention.
Half your luck having such a choice to choose from. This video was a Banga of a review. Very professionally thought out and executed. Cooking them all together at the one time and tasting from expensive to cheapest is the best way.
It set off Hunger pangs and now I want....need a sausage fix..
Great value for effort Gareth. Cheers 😀👍🤤🇦🇺
cheers John thanks 😊
i had a look at ingredients of m&s vs aldi and they virtually same apart from casings being pork at m&s but id say they both from same factory. really good review thatll save a lot of money. great!
cheers I appreciate it
you should try the iceland black angus beef burgers, 200g each in bags of 8 £10. best burgers iv'e had.
cheers
I have had the Aldi luxury bangers and the family loves them and the price is good also. Thanks for the review, Gareth.
yes I agree for the price they were the best.
I like the tesco finest chipolata s too I rem watching your review on em and so right brown sauce on sausages red on bacon 👍
Good morning x Happy Sunday, bless you. 💕 Sausages them heck chicken, are very nice. Can't wait to see the results, can't wack a sausage bun x tesco chipolatas are tasty..
cheers Mary
Wacking the sausage - almost a euphemism like "beating the bishop" ? British dialects are great !
Think they put cinnamon in most sausages
M8,that was a cracking gift.I think u call it a'spoonorkife' haha,keep up the good vids.
Yes Simon so kind, lots of good people out there 👌👌👌👌
Just looking at this video has made me want to cook sausages now for lunch😊😉 great review again Gareth spot on
thanks 😊
Great honest review Gareth . And it goes to show price doesn't always mean best .
cheers Kevin
Delighted to see subscribers up again
thanks 😊
Howya Gareth. That’s me favourite video so far. Me own favourite is Aldi. Great taste and value. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, will do!
I agree with you on the M&S one. It also has a tough skin.
i like your profile name pal, spot on.
Just about to watch the video and I find the Tesco finest range to be the best of all the supermarkets, the pork and apple is the best of the bunch
I buy the thin sausages.i like the tesco finest,marksys,and co-op 1s..good review tho🙋♂️👍🤩
thanks 😊
Great review Garath you agree with me on the Tesco Finest I like these. I HATE
CORIANDER on any shape or
form.Great night Friday such fun ! Lyndax
Thanks for watching!
A spork very handy utensil!
Oooh love a good sausage! I buy Tesco finest quite regular and they are spot on 😅
spot on Rob.
What a lovely gift, shows how much you are loved😊😊
great gift Wendy.
They all looked lovely but I do agree the aldi ones do taste amazing, 👍🏻Xx
Yes they do xx
Gareth they all looked good, but I must give it to Aldi for price 👍🏻👍🏻😁
yes Lee budget they come on top but being honest there was nothing in it really. Aldi won on buget.
I agree to many herbs in m and s sausages Tescos are very good
Normally get Tesco Finest but prefer Porkys wen discounted. Great vid keep up the good work 👏
Thanks 👍
Great review. Once you've put any of these sausage's into a bap with onions, mustard and ketchup, nothing in it at all.
Good call!
That was a spot on review we love all your videos I keep looking for new things In Iceland and Lidl thanks for a great night on Friday me and the wife really really enjoy it keep up the great work stay safe to you and your lovely family
Our pleasure! thanks Andrew great night wasnt it. thanks 😊
