The Sausage King

Fans of The Great British Banger read on ....

Stephen Plume AKA The Sausage King is on a one man mission to:-

1. Promote British pork – unfortunately lax labelling laws in the UK mean that it is possible for consumers to be hoodwinked into buying inferior imported pork from countries where welfare standards are much lower.  By touring the finest sausage makers I hope to draw people’s attention to this and encouraging them to buy local
2. Raise the profile of high quality sausage makers – we have nearly 500 sorts of sausages in the UK and if you take into account the way butchers make these varieties you can eat a different sausage every day for 10 years just in the UK!  I want to help spread the word about the finest butchers and sausage makers and encourage more customers to support them.

He does this in several ways including running The  Sausage Fans Website & hosting a weekly programme on Radio Castle called The Foodie Fix.

The Sausage King asked me to join him to chat amongst other things about Large Black Pigs, The Great British Butcher & farming in The Brecks - so it would have been rude not to have gone along with his plans The Sausage King talks to Rob The Pigman
