Ware Sausages
Bought the most amazing sausages from the Byrons. Apparantly they are using an old recipe made by the son of an old Ware butcher who was based in Amwell End - Clarks?? but not 100% sure of the name.
They have just come 5th out of 200 entries in a national sausage competition.
They are very meaty, use natural casings are really are like sausages used to taste before they were stuffed with cereal and weird flavourings.

The Butchers was Clarks of Ware. They were in Amwell End many. many years ago. They are now based in Hare Street, and have been for a long while I think. But the sausages sound very good indeed - so must try them out.

The Hertford Porker is also very good indeed. Made by a butcher from Braughing who used to make the Braughing sausages and worked at Whites butchers. And they are very much like the original Braughing sausage before they started making them in Newmarket, which is a long way from Braughing!!

I remember Clarks the Butchers very well - one of the old style shops with sawdust on the floor and the little lady in the cash kiosk who took your money - it was a shop that you had to climb steps to and I believe its a kebab place now? More or less opposite Pat the Fat Cats shoe emporium.
The family also ran the slaughter house at the back of the shop opposite the railway platform.
Their own sausages had a very good reputation in the late 50s/60s.

Where is the Byrons ? Where can one buy these delicacies ? Can a banger ever be described as a delicacy ? [:)]

They are very nice sausages, no fat on them at all. They've had them on the bar of the Albion for the last two Fridays....

Stand looking at the entrance to Boots and it's to your left before Tescos.
Take care if you venture inside as you may spend more than you planned. So many nice things to eat!

Just went in there and bought a pack for my lunch! Man behind the counter said they're flying off the shelves, and was very pleased to hear that WOL is helping advertise :-)

They won't be. I hear they've done almost 90 pounds of them in a week....

They are delicious sausages - 80% pork apparently and hand-made too I'm reliably informed. Hope Byron's gets lots in for bonfire night!

Strangely being hand made isn't a quality I particularly crave in sausage making.
Good ingredients yes. But I'm happy for a machine to do the making!

I can't remember that Kevin - about what year would this have been?

late 60's early 70's when Watton Road had a T-junction as the A10 went through our town.

Ah remember the T-junction - my Nan was the last licencee of the Chequers just around the corner. I can't remember Clarks at that end of town though - lost in the mists of time. I'll certainly be buying a couple of packs of these sausages on my next visit.
