Really, I didn't know that. I must be looking at the wrong ones then. Thanks.Most high quality sausages are low in carbs Adrian, no need to panic

The ASDA Extra Special range have a few nice ones. Our favourites are their Louisiana Cajun Variety

Curiously, these are only 76% pork, but the carb is seriously low and they pack a full, sparky flavour.
(Apologies for the large images.)
Have a look at the Black Farmer, Debbie & Andrews and the Heck sausage brands, all are low in carbs Adrian due to the very high meat content, it's the cheaper brands that contain fillers that you have to be aware of.
I really thought sausages are sausages and I suppose trying to keep shopping bills down did tend to look at the cheaper ranges. Not anymore.
Yeah, good pointAdrian - I would suggest that although some of these sausages may cost more per sausage, their dense meat content makes them extremely filling, so you may need few to make a portion.

Alas we don't have that many butchers in the town now, pushed out by the supermarkets unfortunately.You do have to pay more for a good quality sausage unfortunately, we buy most of ours from our local butchers, a lot of people make the mistake in thinking that supermarket meat is much cheaper than the butchers shop, this isn't always the case.
I'd forgotten about those bratwurst. Use to buy them every week and make hot dogs with them................brilliant.Cereal is often used as a binding agent and filler in sausages in the UK and that is what adds the carbs. Unfortunately, higher price doesn't always mean more meat.
The nearest thing to an english type sausage in germany is a Nürnberger. They sell these at Lidl, a pack of 6. The brand is Dulano:

They also sell frankfurters and bratwurst, also hardly any carbs:

Can't find anything online about their frankfurters but from memory, they are next to no carbs. They are sold under the Oldenhauser brand.

Alas, our local butcher always advises me on what's best value but I can't eat either his own-brand sausages or the gluten-free ones he keeps in the freezer. However he makes pure minced-beef burgers which are fine.Alas we don't have that many butchers in the town now, pushed out by the supermarkets unfortunately.
How about then ......................he puts the mincemeat that he uses for the burgers into sausage skin. Problem solved.Alas, our local butcher always advises me on what's best value but I can't eat either his own-brand sausages or the gluten-free ones he keeps in the freezer.

Don't think it will be practical in a small quantity, even if I asked for a lot to freeze. Besides although I like supporting my local food shops it gets pretty expensive. Supermarket Black Farmer sausages are fine.How about then ......................he puts the mincemeat that he uses for the burgers into sausage skin. Problem solved.
