Treacle sausage is tribute to George

A FARM shop is hoping for success with a new sausage. The super banger is made from pork with fresh spring onions and black treacle.

And it is so tasty that it has helped one of the farm shop’s butchers, Rodger Smith (left), with his shortlisting in the North-West heat of British Sausage Week (November 3-9).

Clare Hirst, of Albion Farm Shop, Oldham Road, Delph, said: “The wife of one of our butchers, while sorting through the contents of her late father’s larder, found a large tin of black treacle and she suggested making a sausage with it.

“Her late father, George Brookes, never missed the annual service at the Pots and Pans war memorial, overlooking Uppermill.

“So we called the sausage, the Albion Farm Pots and Pans Pork Sausage — with fresh spring onions and black treacle.”
