Answers:
Have you tried Asda Extra Special pork and leek they are gorgeous!. also really love Asda Organic Pork!. Dad is a butcher so I am really fussy about sausages (he once worked in a sausage factory and was totally disgusted by what he saw - yuk!!)!.

Anyway you need to pay for quality the cheap ones are soooo full of rubbish (made in yukky factories!) they'll probably taste horrid too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The reason the sausage is spongy is because the makers have incorporated a lot of water and fillers to make more money!. If you want good sausage you are going to have to spend a little more money!. If you are buying prepackaged sausage read the ingredients list on the back of the label, a long list with a lot of stuff you never hear of is bad!. The best way to get good sausage is to buy it from a butcher who makes his own, it is the most expensive but you will usually end up with fresher better tasting sausage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The best sausages have a high % of meat!.

I think the organic sausages are good, and some of the own brand better quality ones, or the ones you get from a quality butcher!. They cost more but I think they're worth it if you don't want to end up with a tasteless sausage that's shrunk to half it's original size!. Definitely a case of you get what you pay for!.

A guide to brands would be Duchy Original, Sainsbury's Organic or Taste the Difference, or Waitrose equivalent to Sainsbury's!. I can't comment on other supermarket brands as I've never tried them!. I do know my local butcher has a good choice of sausages made with locally sourced meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

what kind of sausage!? pork, italian, sicilian, pattie, smoked, kielbasa!?
try a butcher!. they usually have the best of any kind!.

Always keep your eyes open when going round the supermarket or when you get supermarket flyers(usually come in freebie papers)that give details of special offers like top brand sausages at half price or reduced!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
