The UK is no longer part of the EU so meat and animal products can no longer be brought into Switzerland (or EU country) from there.
There’s nothing wrong with it if that’s what you want to do as long as you are importing the sausages from within the EU.
Don't be a fool. You're trying to be clever here but you are not.
Not everyone here likes the tedious bratwurst or cervelat - with a pureed filling like baby food.
Sure there are other sausages available, noticeably in Ticino but compare those with the vast diversity in the UK, or France and Italy, and Spain for that matter and you can understand why someone may want to import some.
My local butcher has a variety of sausages made onn the premises. Maybe not to rival Crombies’ in Edinburgh but a decent selection going beyond the supermarket standards. Plus they do some weekend specials with different spices etc.
As you already pointed out, sausages can also be bought in neighbouring countries and imported quite legally.
Supermarkets are not the only place to shop.

Not at all.
ME! As much as I enjoy the Cailler milk chocolate in the purple wrapper, nothing here comes close to Cadbury Dairy Milk imo. Always shove a couple of 200g bars into the suitcase on the way back from the UK. Not yet been "caught" by customs.
Speaking of which, to the OP, rather like going shopping in Germany or France at the weekend. You're free to bring as much stuff back as you want, as long as you don't get caught
There are over four hundred sausage varieties in the UK. In the UK too supermarkets are not the only place to shop.
Your sarcasm at a poster's innocent request did not go down well with me.
Plain British pork breakfast sausages is something I have not found here.
The closest thing would be the Italian salsiccia, which you can find around, true, but they don't taste the same.
And all manufacturers classify them based on how much offal they can stuff into them base on who much the buyer is willing to pay. You need a cheaper sausage for your Irish/English/Scottish breakfast Mr. Hotelier, not a problem, we'll just stick in some more of the left over crap and that stuff we cleaned out of the machines into them....
Most hotel sausages are disgusting. I don't disagree. Ultra-processed crap.
I wouldn't use them as the standard. My kids won't even eat them.
Not that many considering Switzerland has around 400 sausage varieties. I have expected much more.
And many of them are very fine. Lots are dried and/or smoked ones though so they are more in the same category of salamis rather than the ones that need cooking.
Do British sausages contain enough meat to count to the allowance? (Pre Brexit).
From about one minute in.
For the entirely humourless, I'm currently in the UK and enjoying the wide variety of high fat emulsified offal tubes. On the way here, in France, I had andouillette which was vary tasty too.
a) it wasn't an attempt, and b) it was irony.
I find it overly sweet and not very fine. Galaxy has a finer texture, but still not enough chocolate and too sweet.
But not as bad as some the USA offers...
When we talk about Swiss sausages, we talk about the best - such as Glarner Kalberwurst which have strict ingredient rules.
Why do people choose to define British sausages by the worst?
The last sausages I had in the UK were excellent.
They were from this butcher:
Nothing wrong with offal either unless you are of the squeamish, fussy-child demeanor.
But I wouldn't disagree that a lot of people in the UK eat a lot of ultra-processed crap which is unhealthy and pushing obesity levels to record levels.
sarcasm
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
Thanks for the red-rep.
They don’t. They choose to define British sausages as not the würst!
And utterly delicious.
You infer it was used to mock or convey contempt whereas I don't think it was implied . Well done for taking offence on someone else's behalf though. How very woke of you.
Beat me too it.
Is that hyperbole?
They are ok. Useful to cook over a fire in the woods but otherwise a bit bland.
I'm sorry but I don't share you're enthusiasm.
I see no irony. Irony is e.g. criticising someone's English but making mistakes while doing so.
"Sarcasm is the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something. Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although it is not necessarily ironic"
I was taking offence at his sarcasm against British food.
If I wanted to buy a nice ripe French Brie, I really wouldn't want to be told to buy a block of Gruyere instead.
Are you fit to be a moderator? Are you drunk?
Nope. I like them.
Are you sober?
