Cottage pie sushi and trifle reimagined in new recipes
Privacy Notice
Cottage pie, sushi, ramen, and even trifle are among some of the British teatime favourites that have been reimagined with a sausage twist.
A poll of 2,000 adults found that more than half (56%) consider sausages to be a grocery list essential and one in six would even be bold enough to try them within a sweet treat.
And now, these culinary enthusiasts can satisfy their adventurous taste buds, with 10 new sausage-based recipes, released to mark the 10th anniversary of sausage makers, HECK.
With recipes to suit all skill levels in the kitchen, HECK's Future Teatime Classics campaign includes sausage bao buns, cooked sausage sushi, and a tikka masala curry featuring chicken sausages.
And those who are feeling a bit more daring can try the sausage and pineapple muffins, or even the sausage trifle comprising of piped mash potato, a cheese sauce, and topped with proudly upright sausages.
Meanwhile, French dessert croquembouche has also swapped its cream-stuffed choux buns, drizzled with a chocolate sauce, for Yorkshire puddings, sausages, and gravy to be poured over the tempting volcano-shaped gastronomic delight.
Other favourites to be given a porky twist include a sweet pork and apple tarte tatin, and a sausage-spiked bread and butter pudding.

Bread and potatoes among most likely food ingredients to go to waste each month
It comes after a poll of 2,000 adults found four in five (79%) are stuck in a teatime rut, and eat the same meals several times a month.
Debbie Keeble, from HECK, which created the guide as part of its Future Teatime Classics campaign, said: Adding panache and fun into flavour-packed meals is exactly what we are about.
Research shows we whip up the same dinners each day all too frequently. In the last 10 years of HECK, we have encouraged Great Britain to invent, re-think, and reinvigorate their teatime.
We regularly post new ideas on our social channels but for this very special occasion, we wanted to push the boat out, releasing 10 full recipes.
I hope the next time you're thinking of having bangers and mash, you reach for the trifle bowl.
The study, carried out via OnePoll, also found 59% of adults consider dinner to be the most important meal of the day confounding many suggestions that breakfast is.

Missing key ingredients, and lack of time to cook, are top mishaps faced in the kitchen
And 70% said it is their favourite time to eat, with home cooks spending an average of 38 minutes in the kitchen each evening.
When asked to name the most iconic TV food moments, Gino DAcampos If my grandmother had wheels, she wouldve been a bike comment, on ITVs This Morning show, swept the board.
His comedic retort floored show host Holly Willoughby, leaving her hiding from the cameras as she laughed following the suggestion of adding ham to Ginos authentic Italian carbonara recipe.
However, many may not agree with Ginos dismay at the suggested twist to his recipes as 46% believe its time for meals, particularly with sausages, to be reinvented for a more exciting spin.
Ruby Parkyn, from Yorkshire-based, family-run business HECK, which has launched 10 different types of sausages since 2013, said: 10 years is a big landmark for us, and we wanted to celebrate it in the only way we know how cooking something utterly delicious.
And as a mega-fan of the TV sitcom Friends, I can wholeheartedly say our version of the meat-based trifle is much nicer than the one Rachel prepares for Thanksgiving.
