A Butcher and Sauted Sausage and Apple

Frillypants over at Real Meals posted about a Failsafe butcher she had found in Melbourne that was close to us:

Ozzies Gourmet Butchery
55 Hamilton Place, Mount Waverley, VIC 3149
p: (03) 9809 5208 f: (03) 9809 5208

They takes orders and makes up failsafe sausages and preservative free bacon when he has enough orders.  The bacon is delicious and has a very different flavour to “regular” bacon.  We also got chicken and beef sausages and they taste just like normal ones.

Not long after making our first purchase, I came across a recipe for Apple-Sausage Sautee in the April 2011 Prevention magazine, and thought I’d try out some of the new sausages.  It was really yummy.  I think it will be a regular on the winter menu.

    The new owners of Ozzie’s Gourmet Butchery are still doing FAILSAFE sausages and preservative-free ham and bacon.

    Hi. This may be old news to you but as of this week 25/1/13 Steve is leaving Ozzie Gourmet Butchery! New people are taking over and it is unknown if they are going to do Failsafe. He suggests calling them in about 6 months which will give them some time to gain some knowledge if they are indeed willing to go the Failsafe route. Steve is not moving to another butcher’s shop unfortunately – following a different career path.

      Thank you for the heads up on this Annette. We picked up our last order just before Christmas and they didn’t say anything then. I sent hubby over today to put in a final order for sausages.
