 
There are a lot of people out there who rather like
sausages (and have a soft spot for pigs) and who can blame them?!
The Meat and Livestock Commission has
uncovered some fascinating facts about sausages.....for example, did you
know....
- There are over 300,000 pages on the
internet about sausages
- In the UK we spend over £600 million a year
on sausages
- Celebrity sausage fans include Prince
Charles, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine (not a lot of people know that!), Roger
Moore and apparently even Elvis was a huge fan of sausage rolls
- The World's Longest Sausage was made in
October 2000 and was 35 miles long, weighing 15.5 tonnes!
- Sausages started to be called "bangers"
during the second world war because when they were fried they had a tendency to
explode
- Henry V said, "War without fire is as
worthless as sausages without mustard" (but of course he had not tasted our
special onion relish at the time)
You can find out more by following the links
on the Meat and Livestock Commission's website (see below)
