We're having problems with sausages 'round here.
Gangs of Yorkshire Bangers, a hybrid caused by the breeding of Lincolnshire Sausages migrating north and Cumberland Sausages heading south-east, are attacking the sheep on the hill farms. The sheep are resorting to rolling over cattle grids to escape.
At least in Wales the sheep are faring better. But this is to the detriment of the population of wild faggots. To see a faggot in its natural environment is now a rare occurance.
[And welcome HopPik - Fuggles I presume?]

Wild faggots have been displaced to lower pastures which are plentiful since there are fewer sheep since the foot and mouth outbreak. This is not ideal for faggots as the climate is too mild and damp below 700', leaving them mildewed.

It's the ones that go feral in cities that worry me.
I blame chippies. End of the night, they carelessly dispose of the last, dessicated white pudding or haggis sausage - next day, on the pavement, you see the see the rubbish bag gnawed open from the inside.
Once free, they run in packs with mangy kebabs and wild chicken tikka masala.
Late at night, as you make your way up the Mile, you catch the whiff of pungent grease and rancid curry from a close and you walk faster, not daring to turn and see what orange horror is creeping up the pavement after you...

Please, please give a thought to that poor cousin of the chipolata, the cocktail sausage. How would you like to spend your time with a sharp stick through your middle and surrounded by a pile of vol au vents?

Teriaki sauce?!? on a Cumberland sausage?!? Burn the heretic! If you must serve a Cumberland sausage with a sauce (and may God have mercy on your immortal soul), Cumberland sauce is the only proper accompaniment.
And as for Ken... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) I have it on the very best of authority that the curl is too, ah, definite to be of any use...

As explained in my OP, the Cocktail Sausage is simply an immature chipolata. The stick is a hardened umbilical cord.

Orange, lemon, ginger - those traditional Cumbrian ingredients.
Server it with decent bread and butter, a little bit of cheese, fried onions, carrots and peas, and a couple of pints of good bitter.
All those Swedish Meatballs coming over here, nicking our buns...

I have fond memories of playing midwife to a homestyle breakfast link who was my paternal grandmother's dearest companion. I was 6 years old and shall never forget how the tiny sausages emerged mewing one by one to suckle at their mother's side. As happens in so many litters, however, a runt developed who unfortunately did not survive. What a delicious dinner we ate that night!

But of course. The climate of Carlisle is sufficiently mild to allow the growing of citrus fruit against warm south-facing walls. And ginger grows wild on the fells. The sausages eat it and it helps give them their distinct piquancy.

Since when did an umbilical cord come right out through your back with a pineapple cube on the end? Let's hear it for the cocktails.
And thanx Miffy, I'll stick around and see how it goes!

I have had no recent sightings of the rare porkunleek, Sausagenesis susallium, a lovely creature whose range extends north to Pennine districts and as far south as Wales.
The finest specimen of any wild sausage I have come across is the venison, Cervobotulus superexpensimus. I long to encounter this dear species again sometime, as it is long since its unmistakeable scent has been detected in my locality, despite a fairly extensive stretch of woodland nearby.

HopPik - you'll be pleased to know that the forcing of the cord through the body of the cocktail sausage takes place after slaughter.
Another very rare beast, which I'd like to get my hands on, is Botulus hoohahhoohahicus - also known as the wholegrain mustard sausage.
Do you get herds of Botulus caesocaeruleus - or Stilton Sausages - up there?

Might as well ask the bloody cat.

No, mercifully. But we have many Botulus italiensis halitosis, the domesticated Garlic Sausage, of which a GM variety is found in many areas, notaby correlated with high student ( Homo nonsapiens takeawaypizza populations.

I have come across some Welsh Dragon sausages (Dracobotulus Cambriensis) and very fine they are too. I suspect they are a hybrid strain peculiar to South Wales but if anyone has signted them in the wild I would be interested.
