Have you ever looked at your grocery shopping list before a summer BBQ and wondered where you should pick up supplies? Today, with the help of a member, we’ve put supermarket sausages to the test.

Which came out on top as the mightiest snag of all? Let’s find out.

But first, let’s meet today’s product reviewer, Frank!

Meet Francis (Frank):

Nearly 70. Born in Morwell, Victoria. Lived in Paris, WA, SA, and TAS, and am now living in QLD. Worked on Hayman Island for three years. I like travelling; my favourite place is the desert (or places like Tibooburra and Camerons Corner). I like camping/caravanning and seeing Australia. I've been to most Northern, Southern, and Eastern points of Australia. I am planning to do the Centre of Australia next year and hopefully the most Western point.

The first thing I did was weigh one of each brand of the sausages I was reviewing.

Why does it have to be just between these 4? (Woolies vs. ALDI vs. Coles vs. IGA)
Butcher I get meat from is cheaper and tastier than what Woolies, ALDI, Coles, IGA, have to offer.

Thank you Frank for this informative review. I'm also an Aldi sausage fan.

I buy Irish sausage from my local butcher. They are hand made and delicious. All my meat products I get from them and you get what you ask for. Do not have to buy in bulk like at the supermarkets.

Sorry guy’s, you could try and sell me any kind of sausage until the cows come home, but for my taste buds, Coles home brand sausage’s are my favourite, it has no lumpy gristle and it has a very unique taste. Love them at the bbq’s……Rick62

a snag is a snag and down to taste. I do not have one too often, not suitable for tpe 1s

meant to add i love curry sausages.

 

[IAN3005]

Sorry, 72g

Sausages..... I call them mystery bundles of who knows what.....Sweeping from the butcher floor, ears, snouts, tailings from the butcher of the meat, meat extenders, bread crumbs and other exotic additives (look at Coles label) ... the price per Kg is what counts..... I have a fixed price per Kg of $11.99/Kg... for real meat that is.....

 

[Mr Benson]

Slape & Sons are an Adelaide company and our local Foodland here sell them. I have found them to be one of the best but Barossa Fine Foods also do gourmet sausages. They are expensive but have a big variety.

Next time I cook some I will put them through Frank's test!

who would have thought back in the day that our humble snags would be scrutinized so much these days....hate to think what they would say these days about Mum's home made Irish stew......

I think Frank was looking at major supermarkets..it would take him forever to test sausages from all sausage makers. Plus probably most people do the majority of their shopping at the bigger supermarkets. Personally being on a farm we can do our own kills for meat. Have a freezer full currently of lamb and goat meat..

Have never tasted Goat meat, is it as nice as lamb or whatever else on the farm. How about the taste and the texture ?....you know all of the usual comparisons. Look forward to hearing your reply @goatwhisperer.
