Philippe’s Pork Chipolatas

Philippe’s Pork Chipolatas

See the previous posting for how I purchased these from Fresh Choice in Takaka. The traditional free farmed pork chipolatas are gluten and preservative free. They contain 82% meat from Apple Farm pork, along with salt, garlic and pepper inside a beef casing.  

They are a fine to medium ground sausage. They have a good meaty taste. They held together better than the previously reviewed Greek Lamb sausages.

If I saw these in Wellington I would purchase them again. A nice sausage. The family were keen on these too.

They are great value for money.

Cost per kilo: $14.99

Philippe's Handmade Greek Lamb Sausages

Philippe’s Handmade Greek Lamb Sausages

While in Takaka we went to the Fresh Choice Supermarket, a medium sized store, with a limited selection of sausages. Lots of the bog standard supermarket sausages that I try to avoid. I found two packets from Philippe of Nelson on the shelves. Philippe has moustache under his name, and says he operates out of Marble Arch Arcade. I assume he is French. These sausages are gluten free.

The Handmade Greek Lamb sausages were cooked for dinner one evening. These sausages are a medium to fine ground texture and they have a pleasant flavour. They were good eating, an enjoyable and satisfying meaty sausage. The packaging says they are 80% lamb. While cooking they oozed out the casing, meaning they had to handled gently when serving.

I would purchase these sausages again.

These sausages were served with pork sirloin, a Greek salad and fresh corn. 

 

The standard of the sausages against the price charged means these are great value for money.
