In a recent Which? taste test supermarket own brand sausages came out above branded products.

Waitrose sausages

Thirteen premium pork sausages were tested in total and the results were:

· The top four premium pork sausages were from supermarkets’ own brand ranges, with Morrisons M Signature Thick Outdoor-Bred Pork Sausages being rated the highest with a score of 82%.

· Aldi Specially Selected Pork Sausages had the lowest score (44%), with the panel finding the sausages looked unappealing both raw and cooked especially as it had shrunk a lot while cooking.

· Also rated highly were Marks & Spencer British Outdoor-Bred 97% Pork Sausages (76%), Asda Extra Special Pork Sausages (75%) and The Co-operative Truly Irresistible Pork Sausages (71%).

· In a survey of Which? members a third (33%) said they preferred to eat sausages as bangers and mash, with the second favourite option being eating sausages in a cooked breakfast (16%).
