The consumer group Which? has revealed the results of a blind taste test to find Britain's "best" bangers. Between them 60 people sampled 180 sausages from 10 supermarket own labels as well as The Jolly Hog and Porky Whites.

Which? said three "brilliant" products won its "Best Buy" award, with two of them scooping a "Best Value" badge. Tasters were not told which brand of banger they were eating and weren't allowed to discuss their views with each other. Sausages were rated on flavour, texture, aroma and more, according to the publication.

While Lidl's bangers were "superior", the discount supermarket was just a bit ahead of Aldi and Morrisons so Which? named all three "Best Buys".

Lidl Deluxe Pork Sausages (£2.49 for 400g) scored 73% for their "eating pleasure", moistness, texture and price.

This compares to the 72% scored for Aldi Specially Selected Pork Sausages, described as "impressive all-rounders". A 400g pack costs £2.49 as well.

Morrisons' The Best Thick Pork Sausages also scored 72%, with a price of £3.25 for 400g.

Which? said most of its tasters were "happy" with how these bangers looked, their smell and flavour.

Sausage scores were weighted 50% on flavour, 20% on appearance, 15% on aroma and 15% on texture, according to Which?.

The results were checked and analysed by the consumer group's statistics experts.

Which?'s blind taste test results come after the Express's Sophie Law carried out her own with her family.

The overall winner with a score of 25/30 in Sophie's taste test was Tesco Finest Pork Sausages, which were hailed as "salty, juicy and meaty".

At £4 per pack, Tesco's product offered the most meat, weighing 440g in total, according to Sophie.

She said: "The sausages are generously sized, making them ideal for hot dogs. Better still, they delivered on flavour, boasting a superb blend of seasoning that was neither too fatty nor overly salty."
