Ok, first sausage report from this side of the pond. Sarah and I went to our local health food store to buy these nice nitrite-free organic sausages made right here in New Jersey. The chickens and turkeys aren't given any antibiotics, and they aren't kept in filthy windowless barns like all the other diseased meat sold in the grocery store.
Flavor - These have a very sweet mild flavor, milder than I was expecting for Italian sausages. I prefer a spicier taste. Sarah gobbled a link in no time so it was a definite hit with her. Next time I will make it as an Italian Hot Dog with all the fixings rather than just eat it plain for more oomph.
Texture - No breadcrumbs at all here, just meat. Juicy but dense. We were quite full after just 1 link each. I usually eat 2 sausages for a typical sausage meal, but with these, I was just too full after 1.
Cooking time - Very toddler-friendly cooking time. They are pre-cooked so a few minutes in the pan to heat them through. No oil needed, good news for those of us with cholesterol issues.
Price - $5.99. A bit pricey compared to regular run of the mill sausages, but excellent quality.
