Mattesons Reduced Fat Pork Sausage

Description: Manufacturer: Mattesons / Type: Meat


Chances are that you have seen Mattesons sausages in the supermarket, they come in sealed plastic bags which are predominantly burgandy, with the logo on the front along with a picture of the sausage. Inside, the u shaped sausage is kept fresh inside a shrink wrapped plastic wrapper, which means that you don't have to refrigerate it until you have opened it.

Morrisons are currently selling these for just £1 on special offer so if you fancy trying them, get yourself along there now! You can find these for sale in most shops and supermarkets.

I had to stop buying the full fat version of this sausage as it was so tasty that I found I was eating loads of it, and it wasn't particularly good for me, so when they released the reduced fat version, I was delighted.

You can eat this product hot or cold and it is equally delicious either way. The smell is tempting and quite unique to this sausage. The texture is also great, it is very firm to bite into, and the taste is fab.

The sausage has a lovely meaty taste that is a bit like a hot dog - in fact, Mattesons used to do what they called "Smokey's" which were basically straight versions of this u shaped sausage. They were extremely similar except that they were designed to be eaten hot dog style, so went really well with mustard and ketchup. If you see them for sale, you have to try them!

The taste of these sausages is very distinctive to the brand, and between the fab firm texture and the natural, smoked sausage taste, you really do get a yummy snack that goes well with loads of things. They are so convenient and easy to prepare and the fact that they don't need to be kept chilled (until opening) means that they are great to keep as a stand by for a quick lunch.

I like to chop these sausages and eat them cold with salad, but they are also great hot on pizza, in pasta or just with chips if you want to be really naughty. Actually, if you want to be incredibly naughty then get them from the chip shop, deep fried and delicious!

These are lower in fat but there is no compromise in taste and if you liked the original, then chances are that you will like this. If you haven't tried them then you should certainly give them a shot, you may be hooked like I am!
