Sausages have their day
10:25am Friday 16th May 2008 in
Plans have been announced for the first Traditional Cumberland Sausage Day to support the campaign to protect it from poor quality imitations.
The Cumberland Sausage Association and Made in Cumbria are campaigning to give Traditional Cumberland Sausages the same protection as products like Champagne, Parma Ham and Greek Feta cheese.
The organisers are calling on Cumbrian businesses such as farmers, producers, farm shops, restaurants and hotels to take part in the Traditional Cumberland Sausage Day on Saturday, July 5. Activities could include tastings, new recipes, demonstrations, talks and special offers.
On July 4 a special cook-off will also be held in the centre of Carlisle to find the best Traditional Cumberland Sausage. It will then be available to try and buy at Cockermouth Farmers' Market on Traditional Cumberland Sausage Day.
