There is perhaps no food more universally beloved and deeply embedded in culinary tradition than the sausage. From the bustling streets of Bangkok to a quiet morning kitchen in Pattaya, this humble creation has a history that stretches back millennia. At Prime Food Service Pattaya , we are proud to continue this timeless tradition, crafting sausages that honor the past while delivering the quality and taste you expect today.

A History Older Than Written Words

The story of the sausage is one of human ingenuity. Long before refrigeration, our ancestors needed a way to preserve meat. The solution was as simple as it was brilliant: chop or grind the meat, season it generously with salt and spices, and stuff it into a casing—traditionally, the cleaned intestine of the animal itself. This method not only prevented waste but also created a portable, nutritious, and delicious food source.

While the exact origin remains a topic of scholarly debate, evidence points to sausage-making existing in various forms across the ancient world. It is often assumed that the Sumerians, in what is modern-day Iraq, were among the first to create sausages around 3000 BC. The ancient Chinese also have a long history of dried and cured sausages.

The word “sausage” itself is derived from the Latin salsus, meaning “salted,” a direct nod to its primary method of preservation. Over the centuries, nearly every culture that raised livestock developed its own unique version, from the spicy chorizo of Spain to the delicate sai krok of Thailand.

The Sausage’s Starring Role in the Full English Breakfast

While sausages are enjoyed worldwide, they hold a particularly special place in the hearts—and on the plates—of the British. The “Full English Breakfast” is a culinary institution, and at its heart lies the sausage. Known affectionately as “bangers,” these sausages are not just a side dish; they are a cornerstone of the meal.

A traditional Full English Breakfast is a hearty affair, typically including bacon, eggs, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and sometimes black pudding. But the sausage is what provides the savory, juicy anchor for the entire plate.

The ideal breakfast sausage in the UK is usually made from pork, seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, and has a distinct, coarse texture that sets it apart from the smoother, mass-produced sausages found elsewhere.

Choosing the Best Sausage for Your English Breakfast

The beauty of the Full English is that it allows for personal preference. For a truly authentic experience, here are some of the best types of sausages to consider, all of which you can find in our range at Prime Food Service:

  • Classic Pork Breakfast Sausages: This is the quintessential choice. Our Breakfast Pork Thin Sausages are a best-seller for a reason. Made from high-quality pork and free from artificial additives, they cook up juicy and flavorful, pairing perfectly with eggs and beans.
  • The Cumberland: Originating from the historic county of Cumbria, the Cumberland sausage is renowned for its coarse, chunky texture and robust, peppery flavor. It is traditionally sold in a long coil, though links are also common. Our Pork Cumberland Sausages capture this timeless taste perfectly, making them an excellent, hearty addition to your fry-up.
  • Victorian Breakfast Sausages: For a taste of nostalgia, our Victorian Breakfast Sausages are inspired by classic recipes from the era. These sausages offer a rich, savory flavor profile that evokes a sense of tradition in every bite.
