When summer arrives in France, there’s nothing better than a barbecue with great British and Irish sausages!
There’s nothing quite so tempting as the sizzle of a sausage on a summer’s day. Unleash your barbecue and serve up a feast!
The great British Barbecue – in France
When it comes to sausages, France makes a fabulous range there’s no doubt about it – Basque, herbs and andouillettes for instance. But sometimes you want a traditional British or Irish sausage, bursting with flavour. Bacon by the Box are based in Ireland and ship the best of British and Irish meat, dairy and dry goods to France and Europe.
The sizzle, the scent and the smoky sausage smell are so moreish. Pop your sausage in a bun – delicious in a brioche bun – or a hunk of baguette. Serve with a green salad with French dressing or barbecued vegetables. Or maybe with a crispy jacket potato and a big dollop of mayonnaise or your favourite dip. It’s an easy barbecue fix, delicious and oh so shareable.

Top 3 Barbecue hacks
We asked Bacon by the Box for their top 3 tips to make your summer barbecue a real treat…
Onion delight
Chop an onion in half, leave the skin on and pop it on the barbecue, cut side down. Leave to cook for around 30 minutes then pull the skin off, and mix the onion with your favourite barbecue sauce, pop in a bun with a burger or sausage – delicious!
Roast garlic
Jazz up your barbecue with roasted garlic – the ultimate French flavour! Take a whole head of garlic, peel of the outer paper layers but leave the skins on, slice a layer from across the top of the bulb so that the tops of the cloves are exposed. Pop on a piece of silver foil, drizzle a little olive oil over and a pinch of salt. Wrap in the foil and cook on the barbecue for 30-40 minutes. When the cloves are soft and golden they’re ready. Squeeze out the inner deliciousness and spread over bread, pizza, mix into mash, jacket potato, salad, vegetables, sauces and dips. Plus the smell of it cooking is just mouth-watering!
Barbecue Camembert
Barbecued Camembert. Irresistible. This most French of cheese is utterly scrumptious cooked on a barbecue. Leave the cheese it its wooden box but remove all other packaging. Slot the bottom of the box into the lid to give it a bit of support. Or remove it from the box and pop it on to silver foil. Place a sprig of rosemary over the top and a drizzle of olive oil. Put the foil wrapped cheese on the barbecue for about 20 minutes. If you roasted some garlic, spread that over chunks of French bread and dip in.
