Strictly speaking we broke our self imposed £4 a day budget, but we will be snacking on burger all day today as well! This was a bit of fun and you would probably not really want everything Sue added. But if you do go for it!
This was actually much more tasty than it looks! When I worked in the butchers we had an older chap who regularly asked if we could do Tomato Sausages. Unfortunately the seasoning mix wasn’t available from Dalziel’s our supplier. But I do remember them from my childhood. So time to play with food! We also had a Broccoli which was beginning to look a bit sad in the fridge…...
