I had no idea of their artistic origin (fascinating!) but all I knew was that my father (who was also a professional artist and architect) would have NO other sausage in our house apart from these beauties! Loved them cold too. I don't think anything else will match up but will begrudgingly go and locate these Black Farmer offerings!

We too noticed an ever decreasing availability but persisted sometimes driving 10 miles to a Tesco, after our local Waitrose stopped stocking them. But then the killer blow: in February 2012 they changed their recipe and I am afraid the magic has gone out of the sausage. We eat the new version but with little appetite and have even complained to Kerry Foods but to no avail. We are stuck in sausage limbo land and it is not an hospitable place. Can anyone help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196672871000203024.post-58164341685996544992011-11-01T16:18:23.523+00:002011-11-01T16:18:23.523+00:00Are you stll in business.

Counter staff say they have not heard of Porkinsons. I am now experiencing withdrawal symptons, they are the only sausage that I know of that taste as good hot or cold.

If cooked properly they are a sensational taste, with more flavour than anything else I have tried. <b>10/10</b><br /><br />The only problem with them, is I can't seem to buy them all year round. This has me in a sausage drought for 3-4 months of the year.

I have been eating Porkinson's for some time - to clarify that: I prefer a proper Butcher's Beast, but if they aren't available then the Porkinson has been my Mass Snorker of Choice. I <i> think </i> I have noticed some decline in standard; when they first arrived, they were (I think) a bit more peppery-seasoned, but always very edible. Now I'm rethinking my opinions! Could they be made in a different way by the same people? I suppose so....<br /><br />Great blogging!Afferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053428773264067176noreply@blogger.com
