Why do they inevitably come in such useless packaging, or am I ment to eat the whole pack in one go, thus removing the need to keep half back for a later time?

Cook 'em all & freeze what you don't eat!

But, if I cooked 'em all, I'd have* to eat 'em all Other half the pack, is in the freezer

Carefully remove the sausages you do not wish to cook. Wrap them in tin foil and sellotape them to the back of your head. Then go to the pub. Should conversation falter, nevermind, someone invariably asks about the sausages. And then, when you get home, after having had a good conversation about sausages, you can eat them. I am a trained government official. And therefore speak with assurance.

That is almost exactly my other way of dealing with the sausages don't think i had a meal high enough in carbohydrates this evening... I feel hungry, despite eating a ton of stuf

Cheese. Fray Bentos. Cake. Beans. Fried egg on crusty bread. Chips. More chips. And sauce. And more cake. Hot dogs in bread. The possibilities are endless. But not sausages. No. They are the devils food.

I've some hotdog sausages tin of this week

Ah, now that's different.

Trust me Dr DF, when 2legs is in the pub conversation rarely falters, even without the sausages.

How did I *know* that this thread would be a 2legs thread? I think I've spend too much time here...



Sausages are in no way the devil's food. They are divine, and should be treated as such. Mmm.... sausages...

I presume you've never worked in a sausage factory then?

Noggin

I know, dude, and why does bacon come in such an impossible-to-open package? You have to locate a bloody sharp knife and pierce the top of the pack and then the plastic all curls up and you have no chance of storing it while keeping it in any way sealed.

A pub conversation with 2legs is something I would very much relish, EV, but unfortunately our paths diverge by about 3500 km.

As for sausages being divine, this is clearly against the facts of science. If sausages were divine, they would obviously glow with a faint bluish light, and float about 1 inch above the plate. They do not do this. Therefore they are not divine. Except for Mr Kwik Save Bargain Special 40 for a pound, which do this sometimes.

I haven't worked in a sausage factory, no. I also do my best *never* to think about what goes into them. It's weird enough when you actally get a sausage made out of proper meat. It also makes you wonder what goes into normal ones...

As for the plastic problem, absolutely. And all your bacon gets all dry.

Dr. DF, so what is it then when they glow with a faint green light and leg it out the house as soon as you open the fridge?

Oh, that happens to other people as well.
I remarked the other day, whilst pondering ove rthe problem of toasters and toasting bread products, that it is often the lack of design that prevails over the observed presence of such objects.
I think this can, with ease, be applied to many such 'not designed' things in society.
Packaging, fits clearly into the 'not designed' catogry, in a large number of cases.
Pre packed cheese, don't talk to me about pre packed cheese. They are seemingly imposible to open, except with the introduction of a stretigicallly placed sharp knife.
This has the duel effect of opening the packet of cheese, and splitting the packet such that the cheese cannot ever be reintroduced into the packaging.
I have a lot of tubs in the fridge, containing various cheeses, meet etc.
Where would we be without tuberware? Well, I guess we would all have fridges that are a lot dirtyier, smellier, and food that went hard quite quick.
I was forced to purchase more aborio rice this week, as I did not hae much left.
Unlike other types of rice, say, long grain, they seem to only sell it in small 500G packets.
I opened the packet, which split, sending half of its contents onto the worktop.
This was very annoying, and it took ages to collect it all up.
I keep the rice in a bub, in teh cupboard, which sits ontop of the tub containing long grain rice.

What you saying about me ina conversation int eh pub? I denie everything! well, almost* everything.
