Try it Pdoc. Home-made tomato and chili jam is just perfect for sausages and lots of other stuff too including a bacon butty. No ketchup, ever. Mayonnaise on frites for me, preferably made with Dijon mustard but plain will do as long as it's not Hellman's.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I like fresh tomatoes with sausage and fried mushrooms with bacon. Not much of a one for sauces out of bottles.
Been gardening, still loads to do, the beds I weeded are growing more weeds. Have come in for a cuppa. The estate agent came to take photos and a movie of outside. The sky was blue then, it's grey now. He said he could also use some of the photos I took when I'd tidied the house, they were big, 8MB, as grandson had changed the size.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Afties all Tomato sauce - dry boak Brown sauce - ditto Fried eggs - ditto Sausages ...hmm.... in a casserole Can't remember the last time I ate a sausage sandwich or a fried egg. I'm not really living up to the stereotype of a Scot/Glaswegian am I? Rubbish week here in different ways, but the weather has meant I've done quite a lot outside after work each day. Sky went black yesterday evening after a very hot afternoon, then it 'went away' only to return a little later with a nice shower for ten minutes, some lovely mixed clouds, sun and a rainbow. Not enough rain to soak things unfortunately. Hey ho - all very strange. Hope Dove saves me some of her fish slipper, as my daughter used to call it. I'll try and read back - I may be gone some time....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
When we sold our Belgian house chappy came with a drone to take aerial photos.... and spent ages doing every room from several angles with all the lights on and after I'd had a thorough clean.
Sorry you've had a bad week FG. Hope the weekend makes it better.
I like sausages baked with red onion wedges, chunks of red pepper, cheery toms, garlic, apple wedges when I feel like it and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. They have to be proper meaty pork sausages with herbs and no rusk.
I am making home-made burgers for dinner with properly brought up beef and maybe some grainy mustard mixed in. Experiment, as will be the celeriac chips. Refusing to buy spuds or oven chips now we have Charlottes and Bintjes growing as well as sweet potatoes - another experiment.

All your talk about the sausage butties making me very hungry. I think for sausage or bacon, I wouldn’t have a sauce, but add an egg then I’d choose brown. OH would have red.
Had a ‘boring’ day of shopping, GP appointment and bit of tidying ready for the neice visit. Done a lasagne for tea -I could fancy some garlic bread with it but can’t recall if any left in freezer...
I like the sound of your 'sausage dinner' Obelixx. [where's that 'tongue sticking out the side of mouth' smiley?] Unfortunately, while daughter loves a sausage cass., she likes those 'lips & a***holes' sausages.... Been busy outside planting a few things that I haven't got round to [and should have] and splitting the pots of lettuce that I sowed a while ago. I managed to dig out the phormium I had by the pond, as it was really too big for the spot. It was a bandit to get out though - don't know how many times I nearly stabbed myself in the eye! It will have a new position in the front garden. I hope there's some leftovers in the fridge/freezer that I can heat up for tea...

We're back after a lovely day we actually had our fish & chips on the pier as the tide was full in and there wasn't a lot of beach to sit on ... we might have got a little damp ... we sat by the pier theatre bar which facilitated easy trips for liquid refreshment too Lots of 'dog watching' too ... there always is on the pier ... the two best were a huge and handsome St Bernard and a Yorkie-poo sort of chap who spotted our friend's dropped chip and didn't take his eyes off it until at last his owners decided to move on and he was able to sneak under our table and grab it
On the way back to the car we called at the splendidly named Icarus Hines The Butcher and purchased a beef brisket, some lamb leg steaks, sausages and bacon ... then on to the little greengrocer's where we got FR eggs, a summer cauli, new Lincs potatoes, onions and some apples.
Our friends had done a re-vamp of their garden and somehow had a hosta left over after moving all of theirs ... I am now the possessor of a large H. Fire & Ice ... a very good swap for a bag of rhubarb
Fairy ... enjoy your weekend.
