Mantas 3 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Originally Posted By: RobBright A cumberland Quote: Cumberland Sausages are a type of traditional sausage that originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England. They are usually very long (up to 50cm), and sold rolled in a flat circular coil. Sometimes they are made shorter, like ordinary British sausages and sometimes they are served in breadcrumbs, like a minced beef crispbake but with sausage (Cumberland) in it instead. The meat is pork and seasonings are prepared from a variety of spices and herbs, though the flavour palate is commonly dominated by pepper, both black and white, in contrast to the more herb-dominated flavours of sausage varieties such as those from Lincolnshire. There are traditionally no colouring or preservatives added. The crucial thing is that the meat should be chopped, not minced; consequentially the texture is relatively chunky. Well there you go. You learn something every day. I saw (and ate) loads of them in South Africa but none in the UK. I just assumed they were South African. I will be in Lincolnshire in April, so I'll keep an eye out for them at Tescos Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 250ml (16 floz) Red Wine Vinegar 1 tbsp Ginger 3 tbsp Pepper - preferable freshly cracked whack that together and boil in a pan. in a frying pan, fry some chicken so brown on the outside, add the sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes. then add a few red peppers, runner beans (ingen), onion roughly chopped, beansprouts. if sauce too thick, add some water and cover for 5 minutes on a medium/low heat. then eat! of course, you can adjust the amount of people to suit taste.
