Can't wait till tea time.

Nice and simple, me too today.

Morrisons best Cumberland sausages are being used in a bit of toad in the hole action.

Pumpkin soup is VERY wrong!!!

Agreed, all pumpkin (or potato for that matter) soup does, is absorb the flavours of whatever else you throw in the pot

I love Cumberland sausage but, for me, it has to be the real thing with the meat in discernible bumpy coarse-cut chunks, rather than just generic smooth filling in a sausage that happens to be ring-shaped.
It gained Protected Geographic Indicator status early this year, meaning that it has to adhere to certain rules of making and has to be made in Cumbria (a bit too vague geography for me, it should be made in Cumberland-only, IMHO).
I'm not sure if it the PGI has come into force yet, did yours have a PGI sticker on the packet ... or did you buy it loose?

Loose and singular, not ring-shaped, from the in-store butchery department I believe.

So not real "Cumberland" then ... but tasty nonetheless?


One of my favourite meals is baked sausage (any decent-quality sausage) and dauphinoise potatoes, served with red cabbage mixed with apple.
Great comfort food.

Not one of these, no.



It would defeat the strategic placing of the sausages in the hole imho.

I was put off cumberlands a few years ago whilst in Keswick with some friends. In one of the pubs i noticed that the menu listed a "cumberland curl" put me off for good did that!

That sir, is an accompaniment to match the finest in the land.

I was introduced to the art of serving an almost caramelised dish of red cabbage, apple and raisins along with a home made shepherds pie (lamb) at The Red Lion in Burnsall.
