Mince-meaty

Add all the other ingredients and mix and mix and mix. The exact amount of whisky or brandy varies. Don’t add it all at once, but add enough to make it a soft, mince-meaty consistency.

Personally I dislike the expression “fat graveyard”; it suggests that the earth of the graveyard is of a squelchy, suety, gustful, mince-meaty quality, with headstones stuck in it like blanched almonds in a plum-pudding.

The sausage itself comes from Irvings Farm Fresh and is firm, with a vaguely mince-meaty scent and flavour.
