The worst are Richmond, horrible pink slurry sausages with 42% pork. With bread and added fat.

I was recommended to try them, I didn't like them either.

Sausages from many years ago tasted better, even though they had less meat.

They used to burst when cooked, hence the word "Bangers" and mash.

Not just me then, I bought them a couple of times, but didn't like them much so I go for the 75-85% sausages which are much better tasting, again IMHO.

I think that was the addition of water as a filler (water + hot fat in closed casing=bang). You had to "prick" them to stop them exploding. Pricking them is no longer recommended.

All very true... have you tried heck 98% meat sausages? They're not very nice IMHO

I make my own sausages sometimes (e.g., greek loukaniko, italian hot, african merghez, any number of English variants ) as I either can't get them, or, can't get decent ones.

I always aim 80/20 meat to fat. 98% meat in a sausage? Doesn't sound good
