[Closed] ERMAHGERD SAUSAGES!

Wurst thread ever?

chakaping - Member
Three pages and we still haven't asked the most-important question.

Red sauce, brown sauce or no sauce at all?

That's because the question doesn't need asking.
Red is fit for hotdogs and hotdogs only, every other pork based product should be smothered in HP.
I'll be getting that sneaked in with all those EU laws into U.K. law.

I like your work there.

Nice. We have some teams forming.

Looks like the Great Sausage War is a go!

Cry Havoc! and let slip the hot dogs of war.

I'm gonna have some Cauldron veggie Lincolnshire sausages in a sandwich for lunch.

Red sauce and mustard.

For any DB fans...

the "tone" of this forum seems to have changed a bit in the last year

I do reckon the snowflake quotient has increased though.

And I'm more of a mustard man.

OP - You're really happy you've discovered pre-cooked sausages, why has that changed because someone points out that they've been around for ages? You've still got pre-cooked sausages (and at a rollback price), surely that's the most important part.

I think it's more of a build up rather than just this one-off incident. Could be wrong but it's not the first time I've read posts from Bear hinting at his displeasure at the way in which Drac responds to his and other's posts.

In my younger days I was a big fan of the Winkie...

Frankly, yes.

Congratulations. You have the same vocabulary as Piers Morgan.

Does he have the same sausages as Piers Morgan?

Although this tickles me I think it's a rather derogatory way of describing folk that perceive things differently to you.

I'm sure some see me as a snowflake because I complain about certain attitudes and behaviour - you might well be right to some degree - but I try to wear kid gloves when dealing with folk on social media because you never know what issues are behind the words.

Besides, a snowflake is icy cold and individual, so it's more of a compliment, surely.

Let it go. 😉

On the whole sauce thing, I can see the appeal of either red or brown, depending on mood, but I'm just going to put this out there....

Mrs Binners has sausage butties with........

Mayonaise 😯

It should be noted that I'm not having mustard as it isn't an option from the butty van, I normally would.

I assume everyone's bread is buttered heavily too?

Let it go.

🙂

Said everyone, every year.

Condescending and belittling responses are hardly a new thing or exclusive to this little corner of the internet.

Funny that the people who do it on here have been called out many times and can't stop themselves. We can only assume that the tiny little ego-boost they get from it is too precious to them.

Black-eye Square Slice.

A thing of wonder.

Wife and daughter also favour that disgusting runny egg sauce on their sausage or bacon sarnies.

And they expect me to apply it for them.

🙁

Quite a Stark outlook?

I like my sausages deconstructed.
[i]Take skin off, chuck in pan with extra onions and garlic,add some pasta and sour cream,wee bit of mustard..done [/i] 😉

Sooo.

No one for a smashed avocado?

Bull semen.

No one for a smashed avocado?

Not unless you're planning on smashing it with a massive sausage, chucking the avocado in the bin and then eating the sausage.

Too many people with a chipolata on their shoulder about other people's condiment choices.

Personally, I favour no sauce at all for a quality sausage, but the little tubes of mystery from cafés usually require mustard and mayo at least.

The OP emailed last night shocked and apologetic of the way his thread turned out asking if we'd close it. He didn't want to end up with a few people taking the opportunity to have a bash at individual. He apologised for him 'flipping' too.

I was happy to leave the thread running as other including myself have tried to put it back on track. Let's keep it that was instead me having to explain yet again my response to one or two individuals ay.

You have the same vocabulary as Piers Morgan.

(* Widowed octogenarian Free Church Presbyterian FWIW. No cooking on a Sunday so pre-cooked sausages would be perfect)

My favourite sausage recipe

Sorry Jamie 🙂

Pre-cooked sausages? I'm a wok afficionado as the flavour and balance achieved through correct use of Chao and even Bao fry styles is sublime, and yes it's a technique that takes time to learn but their use when making a sausage butty cannot be ignored.

[i]I'm a wok afficionado[/i]

It's always finding two slices of bread large enough to fully cover the wok that's the problem. And then deciding on tomato or HP, of course.

and yes it's a technique that takes time to learn

So there must be some wastage during the learning process?

I'm not prepared to take the rusk, personally.

Sausages or a wok need to be sandwiched between

None of your wholemeal rubbish. It needs to be like me. White and chunky 😀

He isn't alone in having issues with you, Drac. Perhaps take the opportunity to pause for a sec and work out why folk are seeing the same negative posts.

I can only speak for me but I have no standing issues with you other than you come across as a bit of a **** at times. More often than not, if I'm being honest. I have no beef... 🙂

You called me a troll the other day Drac, but I don't care, I take the rusk with the smooth

It needs to be like me. White and chunky

....and , if the label is to be believed, extremely thick? 😉

Group hug?

Come on folks. This is a thread about sausages

[b]SAUSAGES[/b]

Can we keep the pointless bickering to appropriate and non-appropriate condiments, and judge people accordingly?

We'll take that as a given PP 😀

Has there been mention of veggie sausages yet...?

Quorn?

Soya...

Where's Junkyard at...?!

Give it a rest Teasel.

Well, this is nice.

Honestly Flashy, I know we've given each other some abuse sometimes - it's all mostly in good fun though isn't it?

I didn't think anyone took the banter on here seriously.

Tom, was referring to Teasel and Drac's tiff.

Seems like there are porkies on this thread and thin skinned too.

was referring to Teasel and Drac's tiff.

Ain't no tiff. Just don't appreciate being told to shut up, especially when I was being so nice...

Mmmmmmmmmm.Sausage.....
Living in Cumbria I can get hold of proper sausage.
A long curled sausage.
In a bap.
With brown sauce.

Yeah I know Flashy, I was just commenting on the fact that despite us all goading each other quite a lot - it's mostly in good fun.

This is a bit silly now.

Wow, what a thread. Saved by

Wurst thread ever?

And colp getting the silver medal

[Jamie, don't forget the hidden mods occasionally blow their cover 😉 )

Yeah I know, I was just commenting on the fact that despite us all goading each other quite a lot - it's mostly in good fun.

Very true, but often forgotten 😉

One assumes the banhammer is for anyone who mentions Glamorgan sausages?

Stop bickering you lot....take it outside or I will put you on the naughty step with Trump and Kim.

Give it a rest Teasel.

Maybe give his, and others' points more than a moment's thought, eh?

As the highest profile mods on here, neither you nor cougar can really be seen as neutral in your moderation of posts given the tone of a lot of your own content.

Yeah, it's only an MTB forum and whatevs. But there's more than a couple of us raised these concerns here, so perhaps a more conciliatory tone on your part, rather than smugly posting the OP's own conciliatory tone as an absolution of your contribution might not go amiss. All seems a little "sorry, not sorry".

Sunday evenings supper involved some sickly sweet, quite obnoxious, pork and red pepper sausages.

Vile things.

So sausages then?

teamhurtmore - Member
Wow, what a thread.

True.

We all like sausage trolls, but there's no need for people to fry off the handle.

We're all feeling a little battered after this.

Indeed, some people are really up in other folks grill.

Well said.
This place really is a griddle wrapped in an enigma sometimes.

Yeah, very mature, TomW. Are you homophobic all the time, or just on sausage threads?

And you appear to have the same sense of humour as my mother in law*

We can have fun when we die.

Post 1 - Oh wow, pre-cooked sausages. Ossum.
Post 2 - They've been around for ages.
Post 3 - Oh, really?
Post 4 - Yeah.

Yeah, what am I missing here?

Posts 1 and 2 as above, and then people start going blooming nuts about it and suddenly everyone's going to abandon the forum and singletrack will have no customers and go bust because someone's upset that it's been pointed out that pre-cooked sausages are a thing, and have been for a bit?

WTAF?

If people can really get that angry that someone can respond in such a way about sausages, in fact if people can get that angry about anything someone posts on a pointless thread on an internet forum, even if they are a smart arse about it, then WTAF is wrong in your life?

There's plenty of shit going on in the world to get angry about, whether or not someone's pointed out the availability history of sausages surely isn't one of them.

I don't get it, I really don't.

Just in sausage threads, apparently.

Sorry Jamie

That's fine.

*adds howsyourdad1 to list*

At the risk of stirring up more divisions on the forum, can I ask the following question:

Which is best - bacon or sausages?

Just in sausage

Size isn't everything.

Which is best - bacon or sausages?

You don't have to choose; those little wrapped sausages that resemble a small penis are available for the undecided...

the "tone" of this forum seems to have changed a bit in the last year

For the better in my opinion - much less deliberate nastyness

I had a Cumberland sausage in a roll for brekkie - does that make me a heretic?

I thought you were only allowed those weird square sausages when you were north of the border?

Surely what you're doing isn't heresy? It's far, far worse than that! It's cultural appropriation! 😯

It was in a scottish morning roll tho so I would say its merely fusion cookery

[img] [/img]

Urgh, seems the sausage embargo chipps eluded to is happening, butty van didn't bring any today. Had to have a sausage roll instead... 😥

My only objection is people labelling crap like that as 'Cumberland' sausage. They're absolutely nothing bloody like a proper Cumberland Sausage.

"Most sausages are divided into links but the Cumberland sausage is one continuous rope-like coil. The sausage is typically filled with coarsely chopped pork and black pepper, and sometimes other ingredients such as herbs and other spices. The meat content is usually 85% - 98%. However, the popularity of the Cumberland sausage has become so widespread in recent years that many large food producers started to mass-produce it and sacrificed its original quality with a meat content as low as 45%, containing emulsified rather than coarse-cut meat and being sold in thin links rather than thick continuous lengths."

Harrumph.
- an irate Cumbrian.

Ah, but is it the forum that's changed or is it you?

I've always treated STW as an extended mates club. Go for a ride, pop to the pub, have a bit of a laugh. Inevitably there are times when the conversation turns a bit more serious; marital problems, health, financial, tyre choice etc. and in those times we respond accordingly. The rest of the time, expect banter and to have the piss ripped out of you mercilessly.

Now, I know that hasn't always worked on here (I've already apologised to Kryton57 for what he saw as me having a serious go at him) and I'll offer a wider apology here too to anyone else I'm not quite sharing wavelength with.

As Junkyard and I discussed over a real drink in a real pub, I tend to read everything as if it has a smiley attached. I reckon a few others should adopt the same approach.

Quorn wild garlic and parsley sausages are the nearest I've got to sausages in the last 9 months.
