Where can you buy the best Lincolnshire sausages in London?
The Solution
Borough Market!
Mountain's butchers from Boston otherwise known as the Boston Sausage Company have a stall there on a Friday and Saturday. Perfect for your hit of Boston goodness when you can't get back to the motherland. (They also do a mean haslet)
The Background
I originally hail from Lincolnshire - the home of the Lincolnshire Sausage. I grew up with sausages at least once a week! They really are nothing like the plastic [my description of them] sausages you see in the supermarkets which are strangely smooth, flavourless and greasy. The Linconshire style ones you can buy from the chains are bett-er but they still aren't like the ones I grew up loving. Mainly because the meat doesn't have the coarse texture you get in a true sausage.
I've been especially spoilt in that I grew up in Boston where there seem to be at least 3 butchers that make fabulous sausages. My most favourite being the ones made by Carl Dunham. The other good ones are Bycrofts and Mountains - "The Boston Sausage" that I re-discovered in London (still not as good a Dunham's ones in my opinion - but absolutely worth traveling across London for).
