Sausages and Mash!

It seems like years since we had sausages and mash. It has been months at least. Tonight we bought some Duchy Original sausages which, after much experimentation, had decided were the best that could be bought from Sainsbury’s (which is where we found ourselves).

We were a bit apprehensive this time because, during our absence from the sausage market, they had acquired a “New Improved Recipe!” label. Usually finding this on a food product means that they have a new, cheaper and nastier recipe with more artificial additives and the marketing department is trying vainly to make it sound like a good thing.

Luckily this was not the case this time and the sausages were still very good. We served them with mashed potato. Due to Kerri’s current obsession with leeks, we mixed some sliced, sauteed leeks into the mash, along with some mustard and butter and salt and pepper. This all worked rather well together.

Add some cabbage on the side and some home made onion gravy all over everything and it was a very tasty dinner indeed. We did take some pictures that included gravy, but it all got rather messy, so we stuck with a gravy-free one.
