Never tried them, but just pulled up their website. They seem a decent operation - family run farm with decent welfare standards and good traceability. Online price for sausage here is around £9/kilo. They also do bacon, burgers and hams, all produced in their on-farm butchery. I would give them a try.

My wife purchased 500 gms of Wicks Manor sausage on behalf of my mate and myself. Fortunately, she bought the pork and apple and not the Olde English. (I've had a report that the Olde English were not good - but maybe a bad batch?).

My mate cooked his yesterday and reported this morning that he "liked them". I therefore decided to try a couple of mine (he had 4, I had 3). I cooked them in the air fryer brushed with a little olive oil (I have yet to obtain a spray) and served them with air fried frozen chips. I also found them good but maybe not £12.00/kg good.

The jury is still out.

I'm slowly working my way through our 5 pound tub. Made tiramisu last. Once that is eaten, I'm going to make a cannoli cake using a ricotta/mascarpone filling/frosting. Got the idea from a TV show. Vanilla and chocolate cake layers, the above filling/frosting, a dark chocolate ganache pour over the top, and broken cannoli shells as garnish.

I now increasingly use mascarpone mixed with ricotta or even just ricotta when making Tiramisu, unless they ask for the original version, and then I give in to 100% mascarpone.
I recently made Gorgonzola-Mascarpone cake with walnuts which was really tasty but I had to eat air for the next few days.

My mother bought pork feet today. I'm gonna cook it for at least 2⅓ hours and serve it with selfmade sauerkraut and hasselbeck potatoes. Stay healthy

Yesterday from the evening market. My wife assures me that it is now the end of the cauliflower growing season so this should be the last of the locally grown ones.

I'm so jealous and disappointed because I haven't seen any at the store this year. I love blood oranges.
