Sausages. Let's all think about sausages for a second (mmm.... oh sorry, got distracted there for a moment). Sausages come in packs of six. Now, who are they being marketed at? Certainly not your average UK family of four (six sausages are just not enough to go around, unless your family of four includes a couple of not-very-hungry mice). Nor indeed are they aiming for your average couple - as B and I can demonstrate. He always eats three sausages. I always eat two. That leaves us with one ridiculous sausage left over, which, let's face it, is no good to anyone at all, unless one of the aforementioned not-very-hungry mice happens to be visiting.
On the scale of world problems, I appreciate that this doesn't rank very highly, but it still annoys me. Sausage makers of the UK, I implore you to start stocking sausages in packs of five. Or ten. Just not six. Thank you very much for your kind attention in this matter.
Since we made toad in the hole yesterday, we had one of these lonesome sausages taking up space in the fridge, so we used it up in an omelette. Also starring in this omelette were: a solitary potato we discovered in the fridge, some spinach, and some tomatoes (of course).
Topped with a bit of cheese and grilled until golden, this made a satisfying and filling midweek supper. And an excellent use for a leftover sausage, as it turns out.
