Default Where can I get 0 carb sausages that taste like English sausages?

Hi all,

I'm coming back to live in the UK in July. One of the thinks I really love are sausages for breakfast - but they are full of rusk. Where can I buy sauages which are 100 per cent meat?

Robert

Thumbs up Sausages!

Hi Rob

Good to hear that you are coming back to the UK in July.

I hear what you say about sausages being full of rusk, but don't think you can get a 0 carb sausage. I've not found one yet.

Sainsburys do Butchers Choice sausages which are generally around 1 to 2 carbs per sausage - the plain pork sausages are the lowest carb in this range, I think. These are around £1 99 a pack of 8 sausages. They also do variety sausages like Pork and Leek, Toulouse, Sicilian sausages and these to have around 2 - 3 g carbs per 100 g. They are more expensive at around £2 50 for 6 (400g).

I've read several times that Waitrose do a low carb sausage at 0.8 g carbs per sausage, but I have no experience of these.

If you find a local butcher who makes his own sausages you could of course ask the composition of them, but I expect most of these will also contain rusk.

Where will you be moving to when you return to the UK?

Thanks Ann. Those carb counts are much better than I thought.

I'll be moving to Newcastle-upon Tyne.

Regards,

Thanks Ken,

Them's loverly proces too. Still I suppose I'll have to get used to paying the real price for everything. Meat's really cheap here.

Lidl does "German Bratwurst" (or Nuremberg Sausages). They are german and don't contain rusk. A little carb from the spices and they are yummy. If you don't have Lidl in Newcastle, try Aldi or Netto. They may not have a Nutrition Label. Check if they were made in Germany, then they should contain no rusk and minimal carbs.
