You will see the Aberdeen sausage starter recipe calls for stewing beef which is a tough cut of meat but if cooked right it comes out really tender. This is a cheap cut of beef, another bonus.
The recipe also calls for oats, which have been used in traditional Scottish starter recipes for a long time as a way of bulking out the dish and saving money. Oats are filling but they are cheaper than meat of course. Nowadays they are used for their flavor because oats add a nice taste to the sausages. Enjoy these with a glass of red wine perhaps.
