Glamorgan Sausages - Wales

Submitted by Mme M

"From The Dairy Book of British Food. "These were the poor man's meatless substitute for the real thing, and are today an interesting dish for vegetarians". Caerphilly cheese is a white, crumbly/flaky cheese that is a bit tart. Use a medium to tart cheddar if you can't get Caerphilly cheese. You could substitute a non-British cheese that is a bit tart or salty, from cows! Caerphilly is an old, old castle town in the county of Glamorgan."

These "sausages" were tasty and held together well. They were also really easy to make! Two sausages per person with some veggies on the side were quite filling and even the meat eaters here really enjoyed them, so I'm sure they'd make a super vegetarian meal. I'll definately be making them again.
