Away Fixture BBQ Recipes – The Clims and the Humble Sausage

Clim Tim and his Proper-Job BBQ Sausages

Having a BBQ site can have its up and its downs: the Ups; getting to try so many new BBQ Recipes, the Downs; that I quite often get asked to look after the BBQ when we go to friends or relatives.

Therefore, today at The Clims was a beautiful way to start off the first BBQ away session of the year as I was not called on for grilling duty.

We had some great veg and dips to start… very much the must-have beginning to every BBQ across the UK, and then went down the route of some great chicken skewers marinaded in a BBQ sauce.

If the chicken was good, well… The sausages that came from a local deli called “Farmhouse Butchers” in Gloucester were out of this world.

The humble sausage often gets overlooked at BBQ’s for being a bit dull and unadventurous but I find the only people who say this are those that have never ventured off the beaten track of supermarket bangers that are very hit and miss.

Even the higher quality supermarket sausages contain nowhere near the meat content, or quality of pork as many of the independent butchers and deli’s and I have lost count of the number of supermarket ones that come in such a thick skin that it feels like you are chewing on something made by Durex!

So, hats off to The Clims for putting sausages back on the BBQ menu by getting some quality bangers from Farmhouse Deli in Gloucester!
