Cassis Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 A sausage roll with beans? [blink]Nearest to a sossie roll is a friand but I find them a bit greasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hello Nico, they sell bacon Pringles in all the supermarkets. You'll have to make your own sausage rolls though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 You can usually get sausage rolls in boulangeries, along with squares of pizza, little quiches, things like that.But they're really not nice. They have cheap, plastic hot-dog type sausages inside, and the pastry is usually very greasy. Did Cassis already say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yes he had but he won't mind. The medication would have kicked in by now and he won't have a clue about any of this in the morning. Sausages and goldfish have the same thing in common, short memories.......................did I just post this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaligoBay Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I always think of Cassis as a girl sausage.I will try to remember she's a boy sausage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Anglia Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Is it the "time of the evening", or is it me, but do many threads on here become rather surreal?[:D]If you like Walkers bacon flavour crisps, try to get hold of some of their "Sensations," now in the UK. I don't know what they put in them but I ate a whole large bag of their Morrocan herbs and spices ones last night............[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Oh yes, they're VERY nice. I came over all sort of........ maghrebine when I ate them. I found myself speaking fluent Arabic to everyone, but it didn't last, so now I have to go to Lunel and start all over again. Every week. It really seems like that.Is there a market for sausage-roll flavoured crisps, I wonder? Maybe Cassis has already wondered the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I am truly wondering how long until we get crisps shaped like old jug ears himself.......Lughole and onion flavour. I develop a very strange French accent when I drink pastis, I can't make it out ............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 In the present crepuscular gloom I could pass for either, John.I like my cassoulet with duck, Toulouse sausage and boudin noir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yeh saus, but you are a norvener all the way up there in Alanson intyer. But I must agree with the chioce!! Lovely stuff, yum, yum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I want to know where I can get a proper artisanal boudin blanc. The local supermarkets have insipid little white sausages, but not the proper ones, all haggis-looking and wrapped in caul. I've never had one and I want to try it - now! Has anyone seen any in Normandy?(And don't talk to me about andouillettes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 [quote user="Nico"]yeah why do they not have nice sausages here? we want sausages!![/quote]What kind of sausage would you like Nico. The lovely [+o(] Walls bread and cr a p type or do you prefer the Too-loose all meat variety. I always used to look forward to our sausages here when we came on holiday over a 20 year period. Now we live it so love them all the time. As for chrisps, why not just eat a bag of rancid fat coated with salt, possibly with some potatoe scrapings in it for good measure. Or even prawn cocktail and have a good measure of E numbers chucked in for good luck? [+o(][+o(][+o(]Now a bag of fritons, now yer talking. Duck scratchings, cooked in duck fat, yum, yum...[8-|]P.S. Not sure about your boudin blanche Dick, but the local butcher does a wonderful boudin noir... I haven't tried the white, but I will and soon...

Our Leclerc does the real thing (fabrication artisanale, wrapped in caul) in among the charcuterie rather than with the sossies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 That's interesting, because you aren't THAT far away. Is it a regional thing? Like the Viroise and andouillettes? Or are you just lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm not sure Dick - I haven't really tried shopping for groceries outside our little area around Alençon and occasionally in Le Mans. I don't think I'm lucky. I haven't won the Loto yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
