The

The competition is being
sponsored by English Lakes Hotels who will be providing the winner with
dinner, bed and breakfast in one of their luxury hotels. The 1st, 2nd
and 3rd winners will also receive a Traditional Cumberland Sausage
trophy provided by Made in Cumbria.
John Anderson from Made in
Cumbria, which is organising the Traditional Cumberland Sausage
competition and campaign, says: “This is the second year that we have
run this very popular competition and we were very pleased to receive
nearly forty entries for 2009.
The quality of this iconic sausage is
very important to the local producers and consumers alike especially as
the application for a EU Protected food name for Traditional Cumberland
Sausage is now in its final stage of completion in Brussels.
It is
hoped that in the spring of 2010 the Traditional Cumberland Sausage
will become the first meat product in the north of England to be a
fully traceable and high quality guaranteed product in the EU protected
food name scheme.”
