British Sausage Week 2011
Now in its 14th incredible year, British Sausage Week is the most recognised food week in the retailer calendar, according to 'The Grocer'.
Furthermore the great British banger is the nation’s favourite dinner, outselling chicken or minced beef and accounting for a staggering 836 million meals every year.
A firm favourite of some of the nation's most recognised figures including the likes of Craig Revel-Horwood, Christine Hamilton, Phil Tufnell, Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee and Dickie Bird, in September 2011 the British Sausage Appreciation Society will reveal the new 'King of the Sizzle' - a true British legend.
The face of British Sausage Week will be touring the country, as part of the British Sausage Week Tour of Legends, from the 31st October to uncover the nation's best bangers and dishing out the highly sought after British Sausage Week awards to the worthy winners.
The competition to find Legendary British Bangers will launch in August 2011.
Open to experts from local butchers, supermarkets, brands, school cooks, and chefs, who all know what makes a truly top banger, this year British Sausage Week will award the legendary sausages. There will be a winner in each region, plus trophies for supermarkets, pubs and brands.
To celebrate British Sausage Week, independent butchers and supermarkets alike will be running events and special offers and look out for special sausage themed menus in local pubs and restaurants. For those looking to experiment with sausages at home, the British Sausage Appreciation Society will be launching their new and exclusive recipe booklet, Legendary British Bangers Greatest Hits Remixed.
When shopping for your sausages, don't forget to look out for quality assurance such as that identified by the Red Tractor Pork logo on pack. This ensures that your sausages have been produced to exacting quality control and welfare standards. That way of course you will also be supporting the very farmers who uphold them.
