When we moved to Harrogate in 1980, my mother had some Texas beef sausage spices sent over. She took them to our local butcher and gave them very specific instructions to make sausages: beef only, NO FILLERS, and mix in the spices.
The butcher, horrified, responded with "But madam, why would you want to do that?" and refused to make them.
The food in the UK has come on leaps and bounds from the post-war ration mentality that lasted far longer than people realise.
Yeah, growing up people thought our family was weird because we cooked all our meals from scratch, immigrant tings. Times done changed. I was pleasantly surprised to find the sausages I bought were filler free, 100% lips and arseholes!
