Default Sausages

I know in the books/videos, Dr atkins raves on about how you can eat sausages.

But..

In the UK sausages are made with breads in them, as opposed to the US where sausages have a higher meat percentage.

Has anyone found any atkins friendly sausages?

Yes indeed, but they don't come cheap

My current favourites are Tescos finest pork sausages with herbs. 1.9g carb per sausage, but a wopping £1.99 for six, I'm afraid

Have a look at the "UK shopping" thread which is stickied above - IIRC, that gives some examples of sausages with even less carb.

Hi There!

You can also try Tesco Finest Hungarian style pork sausages with paprika. These beauties are even more expensive, 2.29 for 4, but they are really tasty and only have a trace of carb in them.

Have you tried your local Butcher?

Mine makes his own sausages, and has no added ingredients

I'll give my mum's butcher a try, he's a member of the Q Guild and makes a lot of things himself. Failing that I have also discovered, M&S Aberdeen Angus beef with caramelised onion and red wine sausages at 0.2 carbs each.

For me, the irony is that, before I started low carbing I didn't eat sausages But now I find myself keeping my eyes open for low carb ones
