Is this the perfect Sausage & Egg sandwich?

Any thoughts? Tastes fantastic.

Looks fine, but maybe toast the bread first so it doesn't fall apart when you pick it up (unless you ate it with a knife and fork).

[hallelujah]

Funny you should ask as I've just had a sausage and egg sandwich for breakfast!

And the answer is no.

Because a) the sausages aren't English (preferably Cumberland or Lincolnshire) and b) there is no brown sauce.

Furthermore, c) that looks suspiciously like American-style mustard, which is gay, so you've just made a couple of hot dogs with an egg on top.

Toasted bread is rubbish - it gets cold too quickly. My nice thick farmers wheat bread held up to the job perfectly.

personally i would use omelette or scrambled eggs rather than a runny fried egg that would make the sandwich too messy to eat comfortably... and i prefer black pepper or chili flakes to mustard, but not a bad effort nevertheless.

and the sausages, decent ones of course , not the ones in your photo, need to be cut longitudinally to make handling of the sandwich easier.

using a lightly toasted and buttered bagel as opposed to white bread will give some welcome crunch to the bite and it needs to be washed down with a cup of very strong hot breakfast tea, yorkshire or pg tips, but never ever liptons.

1) I'm Korea, I have to make do... These were the best quality I could find.



2) Brown sauce is for Northern homosexuals.

3) True, I'm in Korea and have to make do. I accept this criticism.

But, as you know, sometimes, a sausage and egg sandwich is a wonderful thing...

Tax, respectfully, the egg was perfect. You cannot, CANNOT, have an omelette or scrambled egg in such a sandwich. We've discussed this before on TD, and it was agreed as a TD standard that you need some yolk spilling over!

I probably should have added a bit of black pepper, I agree.

A bagel is often nice, I agree.

&, you'll be pleased to know that the strong breakfast tea was present.

[taxexile]

TD standard

you may be prepared to accept the standards of confirmed heathens. but some of us are not.

[Bettyboo]

Fair point...

[DrWilly]

2) Brown sauce is for Northern homosexuals.

Fact.

Nope,

1. You've Thai'd the eggs
2. Wrong sausages
3. Needs brown or red sauce
4. replace second egg with bacon

5. Don't listen to Tax he's talking bollix - bagels, omelettes .....

[S Landreth]

Any thoughts?

You’re originally from the UK, right?

[DrWilly]

add in some black pudding.

[Bettyboo]

It's a harsh crowd!

^^^ correct, Willy - brown sauce is a nonsense Northern thing.

^^ hmmmm: the eggs were perfect!; sausages were tasty, but not ideal - Korean options are limited; sauce is shite on this because I had mustard and friend onions, so any sauce would just overwhelm all the flavours; it's a sausage and egg sandwich, not a sausage, egg and bacon sandwich.

Korea has a poor selection of ingredients for western food, and what they have is average/low quality American stuff. I can only work with the tools at my disposal. I'm not a miracle worker...

^ ban that poster!!!

(pig's blood, why???)

[Shutree]

Polish sausage.

Is that an instruction?

[Shutree]

the eggs were perfect!

I like my fried eggs that way. I know there are others here who strongly disagree.

[Bettyboo]

^ you, Sir are correct. The dissenters are incorrect.


^^ welcome to Korea...

They taste like a smoked sausage (with a hint of high quality vienna sausage about them, so nowhere near as good as a nice Cumberland).

I might need to rename this thread to: is this an ok to middling sausage sandwich?

[bsnub]

the sausages aren't English (preferably Cumberland or Lincolnshire) and b) there is no brown sauce.

that looks suspiciously like American-style mustard, which is gay

American yellow mustard has its place, but it is no more gay than your flaccid English sausages, which can not compare to a proper American hotlink.

hmmmm: the eggs were perfect!

The eggs are more pock marked than an acne faced teenager. They may have tasted ok, but they look horrid. I also agree with Tax that you need to cut the sausages in half.

[Bettyboo]

The sausages get cut in half as part of the sandwich completion process. I cooked them in the airfryer (they don't curl up and do cook evenly), so I could get the fried eggs and tea all hot and ready at the same time.

The mustard is more a Korean/American style, a tad too sweet.

You’re originally from the UK, right?

Yes, London. Thus, I know all about a sausage and egg sandwich. When I was a nipper, working crap jobs, we'd go to a workman's cafe at 5am and get this kind of food - lovely...

5. Don't listen to Tax he's talking bollix - bagels, omelettes .....

the sandwich as pictured, swathed in gloop, with a runny egg and between slices of doorstep bread is an unmanageable beast, it might acceptable to a shameless slob eating alone (as most shameless slobs do) but in company, anyone having to watch you try and eat that will be nauseated and repulsed as hideous globs of eggy mustard drip down your chin and onto your clothes.


a firmer consistency to the egg, e.g. omelette or scrambled, cutting back on the gloop and firming up the carrier by toasting would make the eating a good deal less messy and infinitely more satisfying.

p.s. and wrapping the sausages in bacon would turn this bankrupt students emergency snack into a gourmets feast.

Betty - I can feel my arteries clogging by just looking at your pics!

I'm with taxexile on this. I'd prefer scrambled eggs so that the yolk is evenly distributed & the egg isn't runny. I don't like runny eggs. Re: the sausage - too much sausage. I'd probably just get 1 and cut it in half (butterfly it). Will add some bacon but not much. That's how I'd eat it, anyway, and not feel that I'd have to hike a mountain the next day to burn the calories.


But props for your effort! Bcos of that, I'll give you a spam.

[Bettyboo]

^ Thank you for your kind gift and thoughtful advice, Katie. When you one day pop to England and go to the lowest class workman's caf then you'll realise the full delight of unwashed chipped mugs of strong tea and this type of sausage and egg sandwich. This kinda thing:


(Though, this is considerably higher quality then the ones I used to go to back in the day...)

^^ I was alone at home, smelly old stained boxer shorts, gut hanging out, and probably hadn't even brushed my teeth or had a shower? Would you like a picture?

what a silly statement, were you still using a bib at uni?

[Hugh Cow]

What! No vegemite?

Thank the god's no.
