How to cook:
Mr Avis recommended cooking sausages at a medium heat in a saucepan.
If the saucepan is too hot the skin will split. He recommended not pricking the sausages.
"That's letting all the flavours out, just leave them as is," he said.
"Obviously you can't go wrong veggies, mash and gravy that's what we always having at home."
