Sausages are a cornerstone of British cuisine. From toad in the hole<\/a> to the classic sausage sandwich, they make for a satisfying option at any mealtime. If you’re searching for the very finest on offer, you’re in luck.<\/p>\n

Consumer group Which? <\/a>conducted a blind taste test of 10 supermarket own-label sausages, alongside The Jolly Hog and Porky Whites.<\/p>\n

The test saw 60 participants rate the sausages<\/a> on flavour, texture and aroma in a bid to crown the ultimate banger. Three “brilliant” sausages claimed the consumer group’s Best Buy accolade \u2014 and the best part is, they’re all own-brand.<\/p>\n

Lidl<\/a>, Aldi and Morrisons all walked away with the coveted badge. Lidl Deluxe Pork Sausages (\u00a32.49 for 400g) achieved a score of 73% for their “eating pleasure”, moistness, texture and value for money.<\/p>\n

This compares with the 72% achieved by Aldi Specially Selected Pork Sausages, which were described as “impressive all-rounders”. A 400g pack is also priced at \u00a32.49.<\/p>\n

Morrisons’ The Best Thick Pork Sausages likewise scored 72%, with a 400g pack retailing at \u00a33.25. Which? noted that the majority of its tasters were “happy” with the appearance, aroma and flavour of these bangers.<\/p>\n

Asda came in fourth place, with testers noting that the meaty flavour and seasoning struck just the right balance. Two thirds of participants also praised the texture.<\/p>\n

Priced at \u00a33.17 for 400g (79p per 100g), they are marginally more expensive, reports the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Co-op sausages also performed well, priced at \u00a33.90 for 400g (98p per 100g).<\/p>\n

Tasters appreciated the taste and texture, though some felt they could benefit from a little extra flavour.<\/p>\n

When it came to The Jolly Hog and Porky Whites, both branded options failed to secure the top spot.<\/p>\n

The Jolly Pork had an appealing appearance and aroma – but the taste was deemed too mild and the texture characterised as “too coarse”. Overall, they were awarded a score of 65%.<\/p>\n

Porky Whites also received 65%, with fewer than half of the testers satisfied with the texture. While they looked appetising, the flavour was considered lacklustre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three supermarket own brands have come out on top.
