Sausage Man!

[Julius]

Lool. There is a large man on QVC selling expensive sausages. He sounds like an East End gangster!

£35 quid for 10 lamb chops.. and they use the word... VALUE?

They go on about how fab the food is when its cooked. Surely if you're a crap cook like me, it won't be the same. Plus also relies on recipe and what you do with it..

Seems to me that there must be a consumer that will pay these obscene prices.
As has been said £25 for four pounds of sausages is just maddness. I would like to think that any town will have a real butcher that would be able to supply sausages with provenance and integrity. I am quite prepared to believe that the products are tasty but they would be no better than available from the butcher and some supermarkets premium ranges.
OK so I love my food and am prepared to, and will find the time to go to real shops where craftsmen sell their products direct - perhaps I am in a minority. And I don't have any 'mobility issues' which means that I can out to do my shopping but the prices are just ridiculous!

Is he the butcher that used to sell Bucclugh and the QVC Christmas meat?

We are lucky and as well as good butchers there is regular Farmers' Market.

Waitrose do some lovely sausages, outdoor bred pork and only £1.19 for 8, Some people have more money than sense, methinks.

I don't eat sausages, but I do buy Asda's organic beef steaks. They are quite reasonable if you choose the right cut (not sirloin). I just had a tasty 350g organic rump steak, some sweet potato mash (I mashed it myself), green beens, mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes and gravy. The whole meal cost £6! Not bad!

Well don't get too used to it, I doubt they'll be feeding you on 350g of organic steak......not on a budget of £1.64 per person, per day, or whatever it is, some miniscule amount of cash anyway! :grin:

The officers get the steak. Everybody else gets the mashed potato (once they've finished peeling them). :grin:
