I agree, home-made is best every time, be-it burgers, dips or coleslaw, at least you know what goes in it and can leave out or control the level of salt. I prefer to leave it out and use ground pepper, garlic and natural spices for flavouring, but admit I do like my local butchers sausage range!

Its the same as supermarket ready meals, full of salt and artificial colourings, far better to make your own meals with fresh ingredient's, although I know for some this is impossible.
