Ours are usually filled out with rusk (wheat)

As are ours. Commonwealthery at work here, I am certain. . . . . . ..

I had an uncle who was a farmer a long time ago when I was a kid. If you add wheat or oats or some non- meat filler to sausage, it's considered cheap and not of a good quality.

They need all that wheat to sop up all the fat I bought some from an independent butcher who uses rice flour, but he still put all the fat in so they had a LOT of rice flour!! Very hard to get a decent chicken sausage here. I tried making my own turkey sausage patties but they had made a mess mousse out of the turkey

My grandma used to teach in a 1 room school in Iowa. She would stay with different families for a month at a time. She loved to go to one house that made the best sausage. Instead of just putting the junk bits of the pig in like most people, they put the whole pig into the grinder ( not bones). Very high quality and delicious. She lived to 100 eating like that!

I only had two tiny glasses of wine then switched to water. Whatever allergens I was consuming made it difficult to breath and I didn't want to make that worse with alcohol. Not sure what else was in the sausages. Peach maybe (allergic to peaches).

Just bought gluten-free sausages for when my son comes home. Now I don't think I'll chance them. I'm so sensitive to everything. Any of you ever get depressed when glutened? I've been feeling depressed lately and I hate it! I'm a pretty upbeat person but have been waking up depressed almost daily.

We have a company here that makes lovely chicken and apple sausages. Apparently, Americans like different flavors in their sausages. Peaches get used a lot in sauces and salsa, too. I did not know a peach and a peanut were cousins.

Just used some of my overcooked potatoes from the other night to make potato pancakes or " Irish Latkes". Yummmmm! Have been wondering if you could do that with overcooked, mushy rice?

I make a rice omelette for breakfast frequently and it's delicious.

Off to see HP in a half hour Perhaps that will cheer me up. I HATE being in the dumps!

They served these last night, on the end of a stick so people ate them like lollipops.

Now that sound phallic (tee-hee) time to get my mind out of the gutter. This thread is certainly good for what ails you! Thanks to you all (and mostly Kareng for bringing me here and walking and pfeeding me).

..looked 'em up! They look good!! (but evil )

Kinda reminds me of 'bubble & squeak'.

Bangers are just sausages - we don't really have 'breakfast' sausages, they're all the same (except chipolatas ... which are more like 'cocktail' sausages)

Anyhoo, yer choice of any banger in the UK that is gluten-free is limited

6.22pm & I have my pj's on

Nikki,

Where do you live? When we were first coming up to our new house we frequented an Irish Diner and I LOVED the bangers. I never connected them to the fact that I suffered the big D within a half hour. Now my husband and son go there without me as everything is cooked on the same grill and there's no way for me not to be glutened. Boy do I ever miss them!

Hmm. . . ...was gonna rent AND watch this movie next Friday with Jack when he is home for a PD day. . . . . .. . ...perhaps not?

Best not methinks!!

Another example of fine, creative British phrasing. .. . . we come up with no such great names o'er here. .. . .. .BUT - - why is this dish called bubble and squeak? Does it actually bubble, and perhaps squeak against yer teeth when you chew it?

Matters not, as it is a terrific name... .

It doth bubble and squeak as it cooks

Commonwealthery .

GAH!!

Welcome to British sausages *snooort*

It's snowing here on our little island. No stickage, but it's pretty to watch.

Hi, Jyaghnutt! Are you a Russell Brandian?

First time I ever saw him was in a movie . . . don't recall which one . . . and I thought . . . . . . WIH was THAT?? I thought it was a normal actor playing an odd character. Now I know it was an odd actor playing a normal character. Now that I've seen additional movies and interviews and such, I still think he's odd . . . but he-larry-us.

Youse guys need to come to my house for a weenie roast and smore-a-thon . . . the patio and fire pit were officially opened for business last night.

We watch it and can't imagine who's going to replace him. Have you seen the British version? Ricky Gervais is another favorite of mine. He's making a fortune on the residuals of both versions of the office.

Back to Russell brand. I do find him hot but have to admit to a very long lived crush on Robert Downey Jr. My son finds it gross.

True dat--it's sort of a tradition here

Got home a little while ago from South Jersey--that 2 hour drive seems to go faster each time Just put a pizza in the oven--Peter, I used GFP French Bread mix for the first time as a pizza crust. 2 questions--do youse freeze the crusts shaped? and how thick do you spread the batter in the pizza pan? I used a spatula and just winged it but it's taking longer than the 15 minutes the instructions said to bake it. I might have used too much oh--3 questions--how many crusts do you get per box?

I'm hoping to eat it in a few minutes whilst watching Russell on LKL.

CNN is carrying "CNN Presents" right now in Larry's regular time slot.

Had me pizza all set and everything

But OMGawd....this was THE best pizza I've had gluten-free. The phunny thing is that I've been making the GFP bread regularly all this time and never used it fer pizza. I've been shulmping all the ingredients out and making a so-so crust from scratch--and all this time the perfect one has been hiding in my cupboard!
