Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, M&S and Sainsbury's sausages ranked
A good pork sausage should be flavoursome and not too fatty, containing high-quality meat, a tasty seasoning blend, and a natural casing. We tried five different sausages from major retailers to see which one to buy Bangers are a quintessential part of British grub, perfect for brekkie butties, bangers and mash, toad in the hole drenched in gravy, or sizzling on the barbie. A top-notch pork sausage needs to be packed with flavour, not overly greasy, filled with quality meat, seasoned well, and encased naturally. Richmond sausages are often hailed as the crème de la crème on the supermarket shelves. Keen to find out if store-brand snags can hold a candle to the famed Richmond variety, Sophie sampled five different sausages from leading supermarkets. With a panel consisting of five family members, we embarked on a blind taste test to see how Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, M&S, and Sainsbury's versions stacked up against Richmond's offering. We cooked each batch of sausages in an air fryer for 10 minutes at 200 °C, and everyone rated them from best to worst. We tallied the scores to crown our sausage champion, reports the Express. Here's how the sausages fared, from the duds to the delicious, in our undercover taste trial: Richmond Trailing at the bottom was the household name Richmond. Despite its reputation as the top dog of pork sausages, it failed to wow us with its taste or texture. In the covert taste challenge, the Richmond sausages were slammed for having "no taste or texture," being "very soft and salty," and "tasteless and very rusky." Score: 12 out of 30 Aldi. Nabbing the second-lowest spot, Aldi's sausages were critiqued for their "less flavour" and "not as much taste" when pitted against the other contenders. Despite being the most affordable option, Aldi's six-pack of 400g sausages at £2.49. Score: 17 out of 30 Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference pork sausages tied for third place, praised for their flavour and size but criticised for their pale appearance after cooking. Priced at £3 for six, they cost 50p per sausage. Score: 19 out of 30. M&S. M&S also landed in joint third with Sainsbury's, with their sausages standing out for better colour but let down by texture, described as "chewy," and "quite fatty" with an "odd taste". At £4.25 for a 400g pack, they were deemed the priciest in the taste test. Lidl. Lidl's pork chipolata sausages took second place, earning praise for their "good colouring" and "herby" flavour post-cooking. Despite being thinner, they impressed with flavour and texture, offering good value at £2.49 for a 375g pack of 12. Score: 23 out of 30 Tesco Tesco triumphed as the winner with its Finest range pork sausages, lauded as "salty, juicy and meaty", and commended for both taste and size. In terms of cost, they are slightly pricier at £4 for a pack of four sausages, but they also contain the most meat: weighing in at 440g in total. The sausages themselves are also generously sized and ideal for hot dogs. Moreover, they tasted premium with a delightful mix of seasoning - not overly fatty or salty.

Rise of the air fryer Air fryers have maintained their spot as the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year. Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens. The retailer said: 'In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times. 'However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.' The only other products that 'shaped the year' were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, as households bought gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.
