If you need to boil sausages first, you are buying rubbish. Find a good butcher who makes their own and try them. The ones I get are at 90- 95% meat depending on the flavouring. Don't prick and slowly cooked in a dry pan.

Where can I buy Asian sausages in Auckland? Green Bay F&V used to stock frozen Chiang Mai sausies, but no longer. Also, yummy Italian & middle Eastern sausies?

I suppose a South African butchery would be a good place to start. Where do you peeps recommend?

If you are ever in Wellington, the Island Bay butchery make the most beutiful pure meat sausages...not greasy, nice and dry and some great combinations. I first tried them at La Bella italia in Petone which is an Italian owned and run deli with everything from olives,salamis,pasta,capers.le-
moncello...all imported from italy and they also have a caf'e - warehouse style. The food is delicious and they used the pork and fennel in a beautiful ragu type dish that my husband had.

The Thai food market in Mt Albert, on the corner of Lloyd Ave and New North Rd, has various fermented Thai sausages in the freezer, and sometimes cooked ones in a box on the counter.I haven't tried them because I don't eat rice anymore and they contain sticky rice.I've been told that they are authentic and very good.

As usual, davidt4, you are full of all the help I could need! I joined up at the low carb forum, same username. See you there some time.

I too have sworn off rice, but sticky rice is a different kettle of fish! I eat it rarely enough that I think it's still 'allowed'.

So does Sensational Meats in Petone and one of the butchers in Naenae. I think it is Olympic Butchery. They both make their own and have won awards for their sausages.
