Chewy skin
Actually, the filling of these sausages was very nice. You could tell it was something other than just pork and you did get a few cherries thrown in. However, the skin was as tough as old boots. The first couple of mouthfuls I had to spit the skin out, but then I just ended up skinning the whole of the sausages before I ate them. The fact that I could hardly get my knife through them proved the point.

Where's the duck?
I agree with the other reviewers -- we bought these because we love duck, but we couldn't really taste it in these. Had I not known what they were I would have guessed they were just some nice pork sausages.

Nice But Surprisingly Unexciting!
Duck & Sour Cherries sounded lovely - I had great hopes. But they turned out to be pleasant but unexceptional - to be honest, if I hadn't known they were duck & cherry, I don't think I could have guessed. They tasted like nice, quite rich pork saussies, with an occasional hit of something slightly fruity. Nice but no prize & a bit pricey for just the four.
