Aldi has beaten M&S in a blind taste test to determine the best sausages.
The latest taste test by Which revealed that the bangers from Aldi beat its supermarket rivals. A panel of consumers rated pork sausages from twelve different brands including Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury’s as well as branded versions such as Heck and The Black Farmer.
Aldi’s ‘Specially Selected Six British Pork Sausages' priced at £1.99 for 400 scored 76 per cent and a full five stars. They were rated for their strong and succulent pork flavour as well their ‘appetising colour’.

Other sausages included in the blind taste test were the ‘Tesco Finest British Pork Sausages’ which scored 74 per cent priced at £2.60 for 400g, and the Cornish based ‘Black Farmer 6 Premium Pork Sausages’ which scored 76 per cent priced at £3.05.
Aldi beat M&S by four percent, with their ‘Selected Farms British 6 Pork Sausages’ priced at £3.40 for 400g scoring 72 per cent. The Which panel thought the flavour was ‘lacking’ with four in ten saying the ‘seasoning was too weak’.
The sausages were in fact the second-most expensive sausages put to the test, so for those shoppers who want to splash out on their bangers, it might be worth going for an alternative option.
Lower-rated sausages include the ‘Waitrose No.1 Free Range Pork Sausages’ priced at £3.50 for 400g, scoring 63 per cent, as well as the ‘Waitrose Heck 6 97 per cent Pork Sausages' for £3, rated 59 per cent.
