You get what you pay for.
The cheap ' catering 4's and 8's you find in a lot of takeaways cost the proprietor about 15p -20p each and they sell them for approx £1.50. They contain about 30% meat. Usually split between pork and chicken, with maybe a bit of turkey in there as well. Throw in quite a lot of rusk, some recovered meat, connective tissue, fat, skin, wheatflour, soya and preservatives and you have something resembling a sausage. This is also the spec for cheaper supermarket varieties.
This is at the bottom end of the sausage market and sadly, its big business.
There is a hell of a lot around better than this stuff at the economy end and I think a lot of punters have upgraded in recent years. Supermarket shelves are full of local/regional brands. The local butcher has made his own for years and generally, these are very good, with plenty of choice.
Long live the good sausage!

Anyway....back to pie n mash.

Harringtons in tooting, best in the world.

I'm a veggie so can't personally comment but, when we lived in Tooting, Mrs Gwylan was a regular customer and would agree that they were top notch

I'll have to tell her about Wolfies; she's long wished for a pie and mash shop down here
