STEP 1 was what always turned me off the aul coddle. They just threw the sausages in a pot to boil so the sausages would end up the same colour coming out. Mother of jaysus. Although when I was in Germant a Bratwurst is a boiled sausage as well. I never really took to them either. I like your version though. I lived in Dublin for around 5 years myself and there was this hidden gem around the corner from coppers called Giggsys Place. They would serve up a full Irish at 3am in the morning after a feed of pints. Probably the best meals I have ever eaten. They did bacon as cabbage as well.
