SOUTHAMPTON is set to go bonkers for bangers as a national competition comes to town.
The search is on for the “King of Sizzle” as the city stages British Sausage Week.
The highlight will be the Hunt for Britain’s Land-mark Bangers, a competition which will put the best regional sausages on the first official British Sausage Week Map.
The event will be hosted by award-winning butcher Simon Broadribb, pictured, at Uptons of Bassett, and legendary cricket umpire Dickie Bird will lead the search, He said: “I’m so chuffed to be involved in British Sausage Week. Sausages are as much a part of Britain’s heritage as cricket and I can’t wait to get sampling the best that each region has to offer.”
Organised by The British Sausage Appreciation Society, British Sausage Week celebrates the taste, quality and diversity of the sausage, of which there are some 400 individually named varieties in Britain alone.
British Sausage Week kicks off on Monday.
