Government has refused PGI status to the Lincolnshire sausage, on the
curious grounds that 95% are made outside the county.

But the proponents do themselves no favours:
"According to the LSA, an authentic Lincolnshire sausage should contain a
minimum 70% of coarse ground or minced pork, packed in natural casings
and flavoured with sage."

Make that a higher percentage, and put the black pepper back, and I might
come on side with them.

You need about 5% to 10% rusk to keep the shape and absorb the fat when
cooking, but not 30%.

I suspect there are containers full of illegal immigrants making
counterfeit sausages all over the country. It's probably extremely
lucrative making falsies.

Do Cumberland sausages all come from Cumberland or Chipolatas
(spellchecks as 'shiploads') all come from Chippenham?

Do all Yorkshire puddings come from Yorkshire? (Well, I know good ones
do, but should there be a Yorkshire Pudding expectorate? More jobs for
the boys?)
