Wizz 11 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Cumberland sausages. Marvellous. Other great sausages? I wish Japan did them better. Quote: Cumberland sausage is a form of sausage that originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England, now part of Cumbria. They are traditionally very long (up to 50 cm), and sold rolled in a flat, circular coil but within western Cumbria they are more often served in long curved lengths. Sometimes they are made shorter, like ordinary British sausages, and sometimes they are coated in breadcrumbs. The meat is pork, and seasonings are prepared from a variety of spices and herbs, though the flavour palate is commonly dominated by pepper, both black and white, in contrast to the more herb-dominated flavours of sausage varieties such as those from Lincolnshire. There are traditionally no colourings or preservatives added. The distinctive feature is that the meat is chopped, not minced, giving the sausage a chunky texture. In March 2011, the "Traditional Cumberland sausage" was granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nice. There's some good butchers near where I live that make some fantastic home made sausages. Had some real crackers from butchers in Yorkshire and Cumbria too. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Miyoshi, the last parking area before Tokyo on the Kan'etsu has a stand doing good German style sausages. I've not tried the currywurst, but the hot dog was killer. Small round bun with super meaty sausage sticking out at both ends. http://www.centralfoods.co.jp/von_heim/125835.html Link to post Share on other sites
