I enjoy watching you create food and tell us the history of the dish.I have had a passion for cooking my whole life and always learn something new by watching channels like yours. Thanks for your teaching .

Anne, you are so very welcome. Thank you for your lovely comment that makes it all worth while for me. Best, Rik

I absolutely hate cooking, but I love watching him cook - he never fails to make me hungry!!! And I have a real problem with my appetite and my digestion, so that is quite a feat.!😅

You're a good man making Glamorgan sausages. I'm not Welsh but have loved these since I was a bairn in the 70's. I suppose we made them as times were a little hard, but they were a huge treat for me. Not traditional but if you're short on bread a little fluffy mash through them can pad them out. Another wee Scottish change was rolling them in oats if there were no breadcrumbs left. The oats go nice & crunchy. One of my fave meals was a couple of Glamorgan sausages, oeufs cocotte (cheesy eggs in a ramekin) or a mini cheese souffle & some skirrlie on the side. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. funny most people, even Welsh friends have either never heard of or had Glamorgan sausages!? Shame as they're top scran. Many thanks again for getting my digestive juices going. P.S. Maybe a personal thing as I'm a bit of a nutmeg nut, but a good grate of fresh nutmeg in these really sets off the taste on the tongue.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing, good read. Great tip on the nutmeg. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Great tips thanks. I have a friend who doesn’t eat gluten so l'll definitely be trying your variations.

[@Getpojke]

@@nikiTricoteuse You're welcome. Just remember that some oats can be contaminated with other grains at the factory so get them from a trusted source if your chum is a severe coeliac. Hope you & your friend enjoy them.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

@@Getpojke Good point. Thanks. She's not celiac, just avoid gluten so, that makes it less of an issue. 🙂

This does my Irish-Scots-Welsh-English heart good! This would make a great dinner with a salad and some mash! Great job, Rik!

Look delicious. I’m Welsh, now living in Perth WA, I have never had Glamorgan sausages, but my daughter is a vegetarian so these will go down well. Thank you.

[@BackyardChef]

That fit's well in your house, hope she enjoys them Best, Rik

I'm Welsh and definitely not a vegetarian but Glamorgan sausages are awesome,some places served them on a fried breakfast

That is awesome! Well done, Julie. Best, Rik

[@graememcpherson6980]

G'day from Australia!! Made these last night and they were amazingly delicious. Had a Welsh night and drank Old Glory cocktails while I cooked (and after of course). These will become a regular at my house. Great to have a truly delicious vegetarian sausage! Having the leftovers for dinner again tonight.

[@user-np5vy4ds5o]

I'm a part time vegetarian, so finding recipes that are meatless always suit me well. I've never had Glamorgan Sausages. They remind me a little of hushpuppies. Popular in the South. Your recipe looks simple enough to make. I like that. Now I just need to find that cheese. Looks delicious chef Rik thanks again for another delightful recipe.😊❤

I’ve wanted to try these since i saw a how to in The Guardian some years ago, but this will give me the impetus to try it. The search is on for Caerphilly cheese. Perhaps I’ll try cheddar with a little bit of ricotta as an alternative. Thanks for this.

[@BackyardChef]

You are welcome, John. Best, Rik

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I've made them with a mix of cream cheese, tasty AKA aged cheddar and parmesan - about equal parts of each. I have no idea how accurate it is flavour wise but, it works pretty well. Think l'd use cottage cheese next time though. 😊

Well done boyo, from Cwmbran never seen these but, I was given some Welsh cheese here in Taiwan, so vegetarian it is, thanks Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy, mate. Thanks a bundle - It's been an amazing couple of days here getting the cheese. Probably not have the chance again for a long time. These are by far the best vegetarian sausages I've ever had - not mine, Glamorgan. The type of fodder a meat eater can enjoy. Best, Rik

[@prarieborn6458]

Would Mizithra cheese work in this recipe? i have never had Caerphilly and i gather from the comments it is hard to find, but mizithra is available. it is very sharp and salty, but also mellow and creamy… and so good. I think it is made from sheep’s milk. I had it one time at the Old Spaghetti Factory and it has been my fave ever since. . When I saw that you were using leeks in Welsh sausages, i thought of Shakespeare’s Falstaff, the Welshman who wore a leek on his hat. lol. Isn’t the Leek a national symbol as well as the Daffodil? My Father’s name was Richard Llewellyn Thomas. Our family has Welsh ancestors, who came to America by way of Switzerland..long time ago. I do not know how or why they went to Switzerland , but I think it might have been to escape religious persecution in Wales.? My Father always had a “longing”to visit Wales and England He said the climate was cold, but the people had warm hearts. He had a beautiful singing voice and loved to sing in the choir. i have learned that the men’s choir is a tradition in Wales.. I wish i could make Glamorgan sausages for him, but i will make them for my family. Thank you, Rik, for the recipe ❤ from NW WA🌲🌲🇺🇸

[@BackyardChef]

Yes, I imagine the cheese will work just fine. Any slightly sharp cheddar will work. Just not mozzarella. I Loved reading this. Love to NW WA. Best, Rik@@prarieborn6458

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I'm not even pretending to be vegetarian (or Welsh) but, l LOVE Glamorgan sausages. Given how old the recipe is, l tend to think of them as "accidentally" vegetarian and more likely the product of good housewifery and frugality. As, l live in Aotearoa/ New Zealand, the odds of me finding actual Caerphilly cheese at a price l can afford are pretty much zero and l've just been using a mix of Tasty, Parmesan and any odd bits l have to hand* but, l would really appreciate some tips on a proper substitution. *Frugal housewife tip. I keep a container in the freezer and put any "tired" ends of cheese in it and, when l have enough, l add them to a quiche or omelette.

[@BackyardChef]

Great tip! Best, Rik

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Thanks Rik. 😊 Forgot to say, my other tip when making biscuits, meat balls, patties, rissoles etc, is to roughly portion them without shaping then, when l've portioned up all the mix, if l'm unhappy with any of the sizes, l can just take a bit off one and add it to another. No time wasted reshaping and my little OCD heart is happy. 😁
