Makes it a bit difficult to try and work out ingredients accuratley

I noticed. I was more curious about the flavors the girls thought were so good, that they can't figure out. It's a bit scary, really.
...So the main herb is marjoram (oregano in US I think) Is it possible this is what is being taken as sage?
spices may include mace,nutmeg and/or ginger

I think marjoram is the same in the UK and the US. We have Turkish, Greek and Mexican oregano, separate from marjoram. Certainly, they could have taken it as sage (though that makes me worry for their ability to distinguish flavors...). I'm getting the impression from the ingredients and the speculation that this might be a generic breakfast link?

This shows a similar sausage from tesco, you can probably get an idea of the construction which may be important.

Mmm...coloured with ground up beetle bodies.
Ill take one for the team and see if I can buy a pack at my local Sainsbury. Its a small branch but Ill post back in a couple of days.

Dammit, Jim, I'm a sausage maker, not a doctor! Don't do it, man! There has to be...another way. Besides, you're not wearing a red shirt. I know you feel a certain responsibility as Captain, but you don't have to do this.

I'm betting sage, celery juice powder, mace and ginger are the unnamed herbs and spices.

20 lbs pork shoulder
450 gm rusk
1 bag of Lincolnshire spice <----- you have
800 gm ice water

add more sage if you like -- but I would not over do it

I will now retreat to look at said recipes while waiting for things to cook :wink:
But what do I know

I think that they've got the data back to front Jim!

One tip: don't replace marjoram with oregano, I did and it doesn't work; they're similar but not the same.

Phil I decided that the 34 gm column was indeed the 100 gm figures but this means the other column is 40gms not 34.Anyway I digress.I went to Sainsburys Cockermouth today and discovered that theydo not stock rileys sausages and the nice lad on customer service informed me nor did the Penrith store this means no rileys within 1.5 hours drive.
I understand Leicester has a large Sainsburys.

Ive looked at the ingredients and think the recipe may resemble
Pork 46% water 24% rusk 17% herb and spice mix 2.5% 0,5% odds and sods. Bit worried about the pea powder at the end.That stuff will soak up 10 times its own weight in liquid

Given that most commercial mixes are designed to be used @ 2.5% weight of sausage and the salt is probably 1.3% we are left with 1.2% for the rest.Including (as this is a commercial mix) the preservatives.)
So Marjoram, white pepper a pinch of spice mix and a herb mix(predominately sage) My thoughts on the celery is that its maybe celery salt so included in the salt figure.
When I go down South to visit going to try some and may well revisit this thread.

I dont know how much it is the flavours or the texture that is desired.

Best of Luck Jim

Just popped onto Riley's website http://www.rileysausage.co.uk/

Doesn't look like they do anything with that low a meat content?

Mind you, I'm concerned about their "Pork and Leak" (sic). I mean, people have their "secret" ingredients but that seems a bit wild......

Yes, Sainsbury's own brand if I remember correctly. Didn't make it there today Jim, but I may get a chance over the weekend.

Ok I'm now the proud possessor (or not so proud) of a packet of Riley's 10 Traditional Pork Sausages...

What am I supposed to be doing with them, again ?... :lol:

Eat them, review them, analyse them or ship them to the States?...

All the information on the packet is the same as on the Sainsbury website, except, as suggested: the two columns headings of per 100g and per 34g sausage are transposed.
