Title: Sausage festival
Post by: The-Crow on October 02, 2010, 11:19:35 PM
I went to my local sausage and beer festival tonight.

I tried the pork and apple, pork and leek. Then I tried the welsh dragon sausage which had chillies .

It took 2 pints of real ale to wash down that flavour as it burnt the top of me mouth, lol.

Then I tried the South African sausage the borewore made from Wilderbeast and Antilope.

Not as bad as the dragon sausage.

Having tried them all , I headed for home.

I stopped at my local for a Breakspear pint and after buying 2 mars bars ( thats enough to get me home )

I headed for home.

A good night Out.lol

I think The Crow is my fave poster on Blonde tbh.

I went to watch the mightay Hammers play Fulham yesterday and brought a Hot Dog at Half time. It was one of those plain skinny frankfurters that u can get out of a tin and a shitty plain white roll, the sort that would prolly be rock hard and mouldy the next day. No onions and all for the bargain price of £3.80 [  ] awesome value

Venison>Pork&Apple>all other sausages

They have a nice outdoor food festival in Aberdeen, with big queues for the ostrich and wild boar, which are awesome.

                                 Milton Keynes Food and Drink Fair

Today we went to MK to sample the best of British local grown food.

There were many local butchers all cooking sausages and the smell from all the hot griddles was heavenly.

First up was Ostrich farmers who were cooking burgers and sausages

Then we tried The Buffallo burgers and sausages.

They all had free samples to try, lol

The buffallo farm were also selling Buffallo milk and buffallo ice cream. ( Strange )

          Spoiler alert the following pictures may make you feel Hungry

As well as sausages they had real ale to try ( Free )

And I found 4 GIn makers who were giving shots away as well.  lol

I tried normal White Gin, Blackcurrant Gin, Sloe Gin, Wellsh Dragon Gin, and many others.


The wife was not happy,  she had to drive home

Crow. Your life is incredible. Please give me life lessons.

If I come to a sausage festival and get drunk on free gin will Mrs Crow give me a lift to my hotel?

Thanks Mr. Pie          ( You don't sound Evil at all )

I bet Mrs. Pie drives you home when you have overdone it a bit.

I did buy a pie to take home for dinner tonight   it was Wild Beaver Pie

It was OK , if a bit greasy, lol.

I think the stall holders were trying to get people merry enough to buy the Xmas gift packs.

The Sloe gin stall had 2 small bottles of Sloe with 6 truffles for £14 gift wrapped ( bit dear )

The real Ale stall had 3 bottles for £5 in a carrier bag ( not as cheap as Tescos)

The French Cider Stall was selling 3 bottles for £15 . The cider was a bit cloudy, pale yellow, and a bit rough

The worst sausage I tasted was Real Bore meat, and it took a few shots of gin to get rid of the gamey taste.

It was like eating a normal sausage thats been in the fridge too long, lol

Hope its OK to put a few Gin links in here

BRITISH SAUSAGE WEEK 2010 GETS OFF TO A FLYING START

Multiple retailers faced their toughest judge today as one of the strictest talent show judges Craig Revel Horwood marked the start of British Sausage Week by announcing the Supermarket winners of Britains Star Sausage competition.

Handing over the ‘Gold Award’ to Morrisons for their ‘Pork, Oak Smoked Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Sausage’ Craig said: “I’m known for being a tough judge, but I can genuinely say the standard of entries was so high that picking a winner was hard work, however, this sausage was just fab-u-lous; a worthy winner of the Multiple Retailer Star Sausage title!”

Morrisons said: “It’s an honour to be presented with the Gold Banger Award, it’s a favourite with our customers and we are glad Craig agrees.”

Silver awards were given to Tesco for their Pork Toulouse Sausage and Marks and Spencer for their ‘Outdoor Bred Pork and Bramley Apple Sausage.’

Sainsbury also received a bronze award for their ‘British Cumberland Sausage’.

A new innovation category was introduced to the competition this year in recognition of the unusual flavours now available on supermarket shelves, resulting in the first ever ‘Purple Banger’ award for Innovation being presented to Marks and Spencer for their ‘British Outdoor Bred Pork, Mature Cheddar and Red Onion Sausage.

In-store butcher counters were also included this year and it was Tesco that triumphed in the Best Retailer Butchery Counter category with a ‘Pork, Spanish Red Onion and Tomato Salsa Sausage’.

Each winner was presented with a Banger award and certificate by Craig at a special event which took place at the Butcher’s Hook and Cleaver near Smithfield Market, London.

The day also marks the start of the nationwide sausage tour, with Craig leading the search to find Britain’s star sausages produced by butchers and farm shops across the country, from Bristol to Newcastle*.



Has Craig seen your sausage yet ?
