\"\"<\/a>Whilst popping into Tesco earlier this week I spied these<\/a>. I didn’t go in for sausages, but then who really ever does just buy what they went in for. My husband really likes sausages, but they do have to be good ones and so I thought I’d give these a go.<\/p>\n

They are called Duck Sausages with apple and honey<\/em>. However they are a meat mix and are 48% duck and 20% pork. They are wheat and gluten free, using tapioca starch as the bulking agent and contain factory cubed apple pieces and yes, I could definitely taste the honey.<\/p>\n

I cooked them in a frying pan, dry fried, so that they cooked in their own fat. They were a little bit of a disappointment really. The meat was very smooth, much more like a processed mechanically reclaimed meat (MRM) sausage than I was expecting. I do like the sausages I buy to have texture rather than not. I also found them to be a bit too sweet for my liking. The serving suggestion was with mashed sweet potato and I think that would really have been overkill on the whole sweet thing.<\/p>\n

I do like duck meat ordinarily however there was no real duck taste in these, the flavour being much more about the sweetness and rather than duck.<\/p>\n

They were on an introductory price of \u00a32.00 for 6 in Tesco. I won’t bother buying them again. I am much happier with the local farm shop sausages or the 98% meat ones you can buy in the Supermarkets that have much more oomph about them! Also, if I want duck in future I’ll just go for the normal breast or leg as that’s where the real taste is!<\/p>\n
