2013 SAUSAGE FOR SCOTLAND

Butchers throughout Scotland
were invited to come up with a very Scottish sausage that could be promoted during Scottish Sausage Week from 29th October this year.

Dalesman
kindly sponsored this contest that invited Scotland's Craft Butchers to “make the link” that will have all Caledonia talking and have their idea promoted throughout the whole country. Entries were submitted to Perth College for consideration in August.Â
Following the initial judging the best five sausages were presented at the SFMTA Regional Meetings during the first fortnight in September for butchers
themselves to decide which they would like to choose to be the 2013 Sausage For Scotland.

The winner received a £500 prize in exchange for the recipe but the winner also gained good publicity when the winning sausage was announced in October 2013.Â
In addition a poster was made to promote the sausage and then distributed with the winning recipe in October in plenty time for everybody to make and perfect the product.

Winner:

John Lawson in Uphall for their Beef Sausage with Scottish Blue Cheese.


Finalists:

DH Robertson, Arbroath for Pork with Scottish Heather Honey and Ginger

J Pirie & Son, Newtyle for Pork Sausage with Dundee Marmalade

Stuarts of Buckhaven for Broon-Sauce-age

Simon Howie, Perth for Aberdeen Angus Beef Sausage with Oatmeal and Horseradish
