ENGLISH SAUSAGES RECIPES

British and Irish sausages are among my favourites comfort food and for me have much more use than a simple English breakfast, but I more like my sausages in a bread sandwich ideal for picnic, summer concerts or even to watch Wimbledon. Here 3 British sausages ideas.
Two sausages by serves are the best measures. Two sausages are around 265 kcal.

  1. I remember the first time I ate a sausage sandwich when I was young. It was so good and I knew that it would be years before I got to try another so I savoured it!
